Not bad, but $940 is a princely sum for that particular watch. I'd say $750 is more like it and I'd want to see the movement before making an offer.
Again, a little high of an asking price and it certainly isn't rare. The 491 wasn't made in the 60's. If that serial number is 16,xxx,xxx than it's 1958 which is close to the end of production for it, but if it's 18,xxx,xxx than it's probably a franken because the 55x series was in use for a couple years already. I also think it's either a service replacement dial or a very good redial because the fonts are from a slightly later era.
That might be a winner. Case reference matches caliber and the 1966 serial number puts it within the production span of that reference. Not sure of the crown being correct but it is from that time period. At $725 it's a little over average. $600 - $675 is more reflective of recent selling prices for similar conditioned specimens of this type.
