Not a bad looking watch.

Had to look up the company they are part of the Seiko group, so as long as it uses one of their better watch movements than the price seems pretty reasonable.

Most Seiko watches will go for $150.00 up to $200.00 plus dollars for a regular model.

Only downside this watch is sold in Japan only and importing one would be a headache and expect some to end up on Ebay for resell at a rip off price.

Beautiful, but pricey! If I won the lotto, that would be mine somehow. Even then, might not even wear it out of fear of possible damage. Just good to look at.

The Sailor Moon Crystal watch looks quite beautiful, no doubt about that. However, that huge price tag is a huge deterrent, perhaps even for the biggest Sailor Moon fan.

Oh, there's always someone with a deep enough wallet.

A Rolex can go for many thousands of dollars so $324 is chump change.

If I had $300 to drop on a watch, I would buy that.

OK, I know that collectors are willing to pay that price (the demand), but I wonder what determines if the company (the supply) would decide to actually pay that price. Is it simple economics?
