    I too will be very interested to see where this goes. I have no intention of selling my one, but it gives a kind of warm and fuzzy feeling to know that a timepiece is holding its value or even appreciating.

    List price in the US was around $5700, remember the euro was round 1.45 when the LM came out

    The Liquidmetal Limited Edition was sold out a long time ago. To my knowledge, they are only available on the secondary market. As Solesman and others who own one know, they are truly stunning in person. As impressive as other current P.O. models are, my opinion is that the LM LE is in a design, materials and aesthetic class by itself; never mind that there are only 1948 in the world.

    Re: PO LM LE on the bay

    I ordered an LM 2 weeks ago that was basically forgotten about the the safe of the dealer, went to collect it and the bezel was out by 1/2 a degree at 12:00.

    So the day i picked it up it was sent off for a warranty repair to the bezel.

    I had a call from the dealer this morning and I am apparently being given another. The strange thing is it is coming direct from Switzerland, brand spanking new from stock! Great stuff for me, Happy Days!

    The original LM I bought will sent back to the dealer with the bezel problem sorted. I'm unsure on what basis it will be sold though?

    So basically there is still a small amount of stock available on Switzerland and soon to be one in Leeds branch of Berrys Jewlers.

    It's been a long wait so far, but hasn't reduced my HUGE desire to get my hands on one.

    Berrys are still listing a new one for sale on the website so they're not sold out yet. The bay one looks like it's set to exceed the new price from Berrys.

    Yeah it is still listed, that is the one I bought but they didnt remove it from their website. My replacement is coming from Switzerland as Berrys only had one in stock. I guess Omega kept a few in stock for occasions such as this?

    Its quite incredible that they are holding/ increasing in value, I'm over the moon with it. Makes the new purchase less of an issue with the wife

    timenut, didn't you find a brand new one at an AD not too long ago, which is also for sale?

    Seller seems to have quite a few negative feedback over the past twelve months. I would think twice.
