Respectfully, here is my point of view:
There is NO WAY I can afford a DRSD in collectors'/mint condition, and since I intend to use whatever I buy regularly, I don't mind having one with a few shortcomings, as long as they don't affect the intended function (accuracy and water resistance).
I fully understand and respect the "mint at all cost, papers and boxes" point of view, but my pleasure is on the wrist in every day life, not so much having a couple of months' salary on my wrist. Hence the curiosity about value for this particular watch, knowing its shortcomings.
