Finally got the Chrono Cross Seiko Chronopolis watch. Seems the going rate is $1200-$1500 these days.
I'm deeply sorry if anyone who was bidding on that with me is from these forums. I'd been scoping that watch out since 2003. I always considered it my "green jacket", to use a golfing analogy, for all the effort I'd put in to extending the Chrono community and building the Compendium. It's poetic that I finally get it just as the community, at long last, has died, with all hope for a new game extinguished, and all time needed to make ROM hacks taken by other dreams and obligations in our lives.
But the Compendium will stand as a timeless tome, like the vigil of mythic heroes said to retire to mountain tombs to await a new crisis requiring their sacrifice. What we have found shall remain found.
Lot of PMs to answer. I'll get another update out post June-9th.
