Riedenschild Dark Sea Diver is it worth $180 that JTV is asking.  I have been looking at the watch for years and have never purchased one.

Is there some important info that I missed?

It is the lowest price seems to low for even a clearance item.

That is quite a low price. Those have had my interest also over the past year or better. They do have that 30 day thing. You could check it out. I have seen a pre-owned sell for about $40 more before. I stayed clear only due to no one being sure if the Swiss movement watches were indeed Swiss movements.

I would most certainly agree that the components of this watch are made in China.

The movement however is Citizen Miyota 8215, unless they have changed it.  Overall quality is prime consideration at this price point.  For the asking price of $180 shipped I am not expecting it to be a Patek.

As Skip said we can always send it back.

Seems like a good price Eric on that one....most comments from owners have been positive and as you mention...the mechanical component is solid and tested...cool watch BTW

I noticed that the info and the pics on JTV do not match up with the model #'s.  There is no consistency in the mistakes and both are in error.

It appears that the descriptions are reversed. The auto has the Chrono description etc. The last pic for the auto is from who knows where since that model has a solid caseback.

Got one today just to see what it was and everything about the description and the last pic was accurate.  The rest on the other hand was dead wrong.

The Chrono was the one that they sent not the Miyota three hand.

On the way to send it back now.

Have a good one.
