Seems like, in the early days of OnTheDash, the 24-hour Masters Times were scarce, and were commanding some sort of premium to the standard 12-hour models. I have not noticed such premiums recently, perhaps as we have seen a few more of the 24-hour models.
In general, the market for the dashboard timers seems to be relatively thin. A couple of enthusiastic car guys can come in, looking for the "cherry" to put on top of the nice restoration, and we see the market move up. Then, these guys go away, and the market returns to the previous level. I would say that the market is stable right now . . . prices not so different than the normalized prices five year ago.
I am not sure that I can detect any real differences between the US and other markets. People here in the US are still baffled by "military" time, although the rally guys and other racing enthusiasts may appreciate these clocks.
