Found this Breitlling World. Looks ok to me but wanted your opinion.

The starting bid price is 1350 Euros. That seems a bit pricey to me (~$1776.00 usd). Is that way too much or is it fairly rare and that is a good starting price?

Also, I think that it has four separate quartz movements inside. I would assume that would mean four batteries as well? And four times the risk of electronic failure?

Thanks so much.

Well, revealing my personal bias.....

I would say that $5 was too much for this :D

It's too expensive at that price for sure, even with the gold bezel, and yes, four movements, four batteries, and the usual problem with pieces of this age - a movement failure makes it a paperweight.

Well, as they say that's that. :D
I thought that price seemed a bit exorbitant for a quartz watch, even one (x4). Kind of cool looking though.

Thanks Roff and bnewbie.
