Not a bad BIN price on this one for it's condition:

I got the same watch, but cleaner, on a BIN for $150 recently. Great watch. 285 movement with quick date set function by going from 10 to 2 o'clock repeatedly. This was easily my best ebay find by far, but this one at $199 is good buy as well if somebody wants a classic manual wind Longines with a great movement.

I mention this watch because at current price would be a really good deal. Not a particularly collectible flagship by any means, but a really solid manual wind movement with date change that does have a relatively quick date change function built in (have to keep moving between 10 and 2 repeatedly, but better than cycling through 24 hours). Watch wears very well (I have one that gets a lot or wrist time) and can easily replace that metal stretchy band if not your thing. One should be able to get this watch for a reasonable amount as I can't see it generating much interest, as nothing particularly special about it to the average viewer. If interested in movements then the manual wind with date function is pretty cool, especially as this was not done a lot with manual wind watches and Longines only had a few (would have to consult my Linder movement reference to name the others - ulackfocus could probably rattle them all off in his sleep). If price stays where it's at, may pick up to have a spare movement/parts, but would rather somebody else wear and enjoy it.
