Per the flyer Robert $2550.

Wow, this is an even bigger amount than I initially thought.

I just called the trader; it's a local jeweller (not an AD) that bought it for a client, that never came to pick it up. It was bought this past summer from one of the authorized distributors in Canada (Embix Watch Importation, http://www.embix.com) , for $2500 CAD (!). So it comes with papers, box, etc.

The jeweller tried to sell it but was not able to get a decent offer for it.  He saw my  Oris in a forum and decided to try his luck at an exchange. He would wear my Oris (but does not want to wear the Epos). That's how the whole ting came to be.

I think I am going to trade it, and later on will try and pick up a TT1 on eBay for around $500 if I can. In fact, I like the "old" TT1 blue "checkered" dial design better than the new blue "wave" design. Plus, those old TT1 had ETA movements, making them a bit more desirable IMHO.
