Looks OK, a bit worn/polished but not abused, an honest watch.

Check SOLD listings on eBay for pricing.

Very nice photos by the way.

Looks like it would be a fun watch to wear, a decent example from that era. Might sell in the $US 500-600 range, assuming the movement is in good shape.

If unserviced (or if there is no evidence or paperwork to confirm service) around £350-450. If serviced perhaps £600.

These are private sale prices. A dealer will obviously charge more.

Thanks for the reply everyone. The only things that’s kind of bothering me is the lack of the black accent insert on the hour and minute hands closer to the tip. But I suppose it gives it character. Also, was this meant to be more of a dress watch back when it came out?
Here are some more pics.

I like to think that a watch such as this was marketed as a better-than-average quality, everyman's everyday watch which could be worn for work or play. In the mid-1960s there were plenty of other options available for dress watches, that didn't cost an arm and a leg -- often gold plated or gold filled.

It's supposed to be this way, those areas are filled with luminous material.

Where would the luminous material be on the hour markers?

At the outer end of the markers, you can see the little lume dots. And at the ends of the hands.

Ahh gotcha. Just out of curiosity, if one wanted to keep everything else the same but restore the lume, I’m assuming you’d have to replace the entire hand/markers?

no, you would remove and reapply the lume by a specialist, keeping all original parts. It can be considered, as to the luminous characteristics and the color of the lume, with the specialist. For someone to do a very nice job, there are not many and it is expensive. Probably not worth it, from a financial perspective, on this particular watch. It can also affect the value of the watch to relume so it should be considered.

there are more people around, who can do an OK job, for less $$
