The 80ies watch everybody loves to hate or hates to love. For a long time I scorned them but one day this piece surfaced and its brutal exterior but still sort of warm and discrete dial grew on me. And this happened when they were at their lowest point. We are talking a couple of hundred US. It has box and papers and today I believe 1500-1800 US would be a fair guess.

That's fantastic! Is the main watch quartz, too? Looks more like a 7750 movement, though. What's up with the surrogate/spawn watch? I can't determine if it's supposed to be a GMT function (the minutes don't jibe with the main watch). Or, is one hand GMT and the other a compass given the cardinal directions on the dial?
