After launch in 95, it continue for about few year and then discontinue. I purchased it with bracelet and is about the price you quoted. In other words, I used it for the past 16 years and it did not depreciated. it hold certain value. I am happy ! in fact with bracelet during 95, it cost 30+% more.
Believed me, it is a very accurcy watch, in fact better than some well know brand which I also have some. todate, is still very classic and will not go out of fashion. in fact, the trench is toward simple 3 hands watch.
