MTM - Special Ops watches?

Does anyone have one of these? They sell only from the MTM www site, $450. I saw one in person the other day and they are the epitome of cool, the lights (both led and the "flashlight" functionality) are very nice.

Wondering if anyone has a good spot to get these second hand? For me it'd be more like a novelty and I don't want to spend $450 just to wear it once in a blue moon. Here's a link to the watch I saw:

Doesn't Jack Bauer wear one on 24? I don't know to much about it though.

I dunno, anything that's reffered to as Spec Ops... etc seems to be trying too hard to be rugged IMO....I doubt a real Spec Ops soldier would ever wear it. But if you can get one on the cheap, go nuts and enjoy!

Well MTM Special Ops claims that before going to a public audience their watches were strictly made for military personnel. Perhaps, this may not be a fluke watch after all.

Eh, I still don't buy it...what does a tool watch need with a CF dial and allen key screws?

But as I said, if it can be obtained for a couple of hundred bucks, enjoy.
