Not surprising, considering the low price, and that this is one of the rarest Pulsars ever made (only the 18K versions would be rarer).
In eleven years of daily searching, this is the first of this model I've ever seen (from the pictures, it's not clear whether this is the men's or ladies model). About US$1100 in gold, so the asking price didn't involve much of a premium. These were among Time Computer's later (fall of 1976) offerings, and so little is known about them, beyond their rarity (well beyond that of the P1 or 18K Calculators, and closer to the 14K Pulse-Time, or 7409 Dress), that even I had started to suspect that perhaps no examples existed (I should have learned my lesson about things like that with the 14K P1, though it remains, more than three years after its' appearance, a unique watch). Given that these were made in Europe, I'm not too surprised that so few of them apparently made their way back to the States. Finally, we have here a Pulsar that truly deserves to be called "ultra rare". The seller did get the model number wrong, however; this is either a 7918-2 (men's) or 6921-2 (ladies)...there is no 6503 Pulsar.
