When the big batch of NOS Caribbean's surfaced, (more)
by Bill
back when MWR was just starting up, the initial popularity had posters guessing that the watch would soon be going for over $1000. My impression is that this hasn't happened, and that they topped out around $800. That would be for mint, or pretty near.
The black dial seems to be the more common. The blue less seldom seen.
Note that even an untouched NOS specimen will require an immediate full mechanical, as the movement will be bone-dry and the seals will have turned to viscous goop.
Also to be considered, the high, scratch-prone crystal is almost impossible to replace.
