That’s a very striking watch. Those watches still carried some premium over stickers though. The one I’m looking specifically is the Lupin III 2nd edition which has a clean panda design. These are selling around retail price.

FWIW, I have a Ref. 03.2150.400/69.C713, the so-called El Primero Original 1969, which I bought new in 2016, and just this week I finally tracked down a black dial Ref. 01.0500.400 after a five-year search for the right one. Most of these have the silver dial...

They are great watches, and make a nice alternative to the Daytona at a fraction of the price.
