If you prefer metal studs instead of crystals for indicies (and I think most people would), you can get this for under $100 from a couple of Singapore sellers on eBay. I have that one, and it is pretty cool. One piece case for added water resistancy, acrylic crystal. The dial has a sunburst pattern that radiates from the 6 o'clock position. The links on the bracelet are flat perfectly polished mirror finished. I've seen it described as the discoball watch because of this. The reason the ones on eBay are selling so cheap is that they are NOS and use actual tritum on the hands/dials. The tritium is all but dead now and they are being dumped on the market-- get em while you can! In case you didn't know: Commander indicates Mido's one piece case design. Ocean Star indicates Mido's special Aquadura crown seal that maintains water resistancy up to 50M even if the crown is pulled out. Someone I know had a watchmaker check his out, and the eBay NOS ones are legit-- Mido signed movements, and the water resistancy is still good.
