I can see some obvious problems with this one besides the price:

The high appraisal is due (in part) to the rare prototype logo that was painstakingly engraved with loving care on the caseback. It's a little known fact that the logo was all set to be used by Breitling when Willie Breitling himself stepped in and said that he didn't like it. He ordered all examples to be destroyed and this is believed to be the only surviving piece.

Consequently this piece is clearly a bargain!

Yeah I just about followed the 'get out of banking before the banks crash and buy assets that you can sell to China' garbage. Even by looney tunes normal standards this is 5 kgs of prime you-know-what in a 2kg bag!
