No, they're not rare. In fact, they're pretty darn common. The seller states that there is only "one model" listed in Shugart's with 2-tone damascening, but he doesn't mention how many tens of thousands of that "one model" were produced. The fact that Shugart doesn't even give the watch a single star should tell you something.

These recent sales remind me of the shopping networks in then early 90's that wree selling rather oridinary pocket watches at hideously inflated prices. A little hype goes a long way, and a lot of hype goes even further. Ehtics? Honesty? Who cares, as long as you can fleece some poor sucker by convincing him that your common-as-dirt watch is "rare" and "investment quality."

Just my opinion, of course...
