What is the price range, in decent working order? I feel a purchase comming on..
I’ve seen them from $600 to $2500. Be careful to check the movement, Wakmann made them on contract for Breitling so they have decent, but non-Breitling guts.
The Mighty Turtle, the 6309 and the SRP 777 are classic.
I think my grandfather has a Seiko purchased at the Subic Bay NEX in 1963 that he still has.
@GroundPounder...like Griz, I’ve seen them listed for sale from about $600 to $2500. The highest I’ve actually seen one sell for was about $1200. The Breitling that I pictured previously was a gift from a fellow watch collector...so I’m not very familiar with prices other than what I’ve seen on the internet. I don’t believe these watches are rare...even though sellers like to advertise them as rare. Also, I don’t know much about military watches but I’ve heard there are dedicated military watch forums that delve into the specifics regarding these watches...I’d check out those forums if you continue interest.
There are a few things that are for certain:
1. Condition, condition, condition...lack of corrosion and/or dirt in the movement, lack of marks on the screw heads in the movement, dial and hand condition, case condition, etc.
2. Buy the seller.
Omega announces a contemporary reissue of @mad dog 's "Echo Whiskey"
Pretty big news and a beautiful watch on its own merits
Its what all the cool SNA's will be wearing in 2020 - to replace their Apple Watches.

Beautiful watch, but $14,000. ?
Omega and their 900000000 limited editions they've released in the last 5-10 years . . .
I hear you. I don’t believe Omega classifies it as an LE...however, due to the manufacturing process where one watchmaker will build and be responsible for one piece at a time, production numbers will be fairly low.
I don't get the watch at that price point. Should it sell at a premium over the regular Moonwatch? Of course. But for $14k you're well into Rolex territory (the supply issues of the past few years notwithstanding) and I doubt the 321 will hold it's value as well compared to steel Rolexes.
Absolutely gorgeous watch though.

It’s a nice watch...but too pricey for me, dude...
I’ll stick with my vintage birth year 105.003-64 “Echo Whiskey” [pictured below]...
Speedy Tuesday...
