That's a bit strong for that watch, even from a dealer, unless it is solid gold. On eBay you can pick one of these up for a few hundred dollars, although asking prices have been rising a little lately. (I am a huge fan of these watches and check sales for these a couple of times a week) I would think that upto 500usd from a dealer would be all its worth and that is still a bit strong.You can also point out to them that if the watch stops it's an expensive fix so you would be taking a risk.
In the past year I have bought a NOS cone f300 for 500usd and a little bit knackered waffle dial constellation for 200usd. They are not popular amongst collectors but do have a small following in the watch collecting community. I would say that the OP model is not a desireable model even for those of us who like these watches. If you really like it and can get it for a sensible price then buy it otherwise keep looking.
