oops i was wrong should have read the listing a bit more, it is a patent pending mk 1 DRSD, which is very very rare, only about 115 of these were ever produced I know of only 4 people who have these watches in their collections. there are a few more out there but how many i cannot answer.

the price of 200k is about right for this watch, they have sold in the past at antiquorum for this sort of price.

hope this helps

Really thought it's a JOKE, DRSSD is rare alright but at US$200K+, without papers, box all that. . . . .(even if it does have everything)

Oh my...

Can it still pull that much money without papers and a box? If I were buying something for that much, it had better come with everything. I dunno.
