I look at this big boy every now and then. It only runs for a little over 9 grand LOL so a dream watch for now but maybe some day. :cool: I spotted it last Summer on a blog the first time and look around now and then to see if any are for sale and for how much. Not a watch for everyone rather different. But I like different now and then. :) Has a great movement in it too. The Swiss Eta 2897! http://www.top100watchsites.com/news/index.php?print=41 http://www.thewatchquote.com/The-Eterna-KonTiki-Diver-watch-by-Pioneers-for-Pioneers-No_5446.htm http://www.wired.com/gadgets/gadgetreviews/multimedia/2008/03/pl_fetish?slide=3&slideView=2 So what do you fellow 3Ter WIS think about it. Pics on sites. ;) |

Not to bad Simon but if by chance I was in a good place to spend 9 or 10 grand on a single watch I would go for my Uber Grail. :cool: I am so in love and lust with the watch. hearteyes.gif hearteyes.gif Attachment: gws001.jpg (Downloaded 91 times) |

Like Skipdawg, I looked at this watch...back in Nov of 2006 just as it was being released. Then it was $5k, and the distributor in Canada (Eterna was not available in the USA) had a 20% off introductory price; but the $4k was non-refundable because they weren't a retailer. Didn't want to be stuck with a watch whose value might tank after introduction. Took a pass and found a Doxa Coppa on the Bay instead for half the price............. If only I had known !  |

When I first read the post, I was like NO WAY would I spend $9k on a dive watch. I looked at the pictures and, well, I stand corrected. I think this one falls into the 'UBER GRAIL' category for me. I've really liked the Eterna dive watches since I first saw them, this ones no exception. |

As a dive watch this looks really nice. Easy to view dial and great crown protection. $9K for an ETA 2897 seems just wrong to me. There are alot of good dive watches out there for less money. $9K will buy you quite a few high end Swiss pieces for that. I could have picked up a used Panerai Black Seal a couple of months ago for $4995.00. |

Very nice and very expensive. Though if I could part with 9k with out a second thought, that would be on the short list. |
