Live in a town where classic vintage watches are not easy to find, but not uncommon either. Stopped in an antique store today and they had a gold plate, Turler Seamaster (manual wind), sea monster back, original strap. Hasn't been serviced. Said they'd take $485. From the collective knowledge here, is that a fair price? My ideal would be a steel, automatic version, but it was really nice, and I like that it was a Turler.

 

Based on the condition - which can be clearly deduced from the pictures you provided- the answer is maybe....;-)

 

Sorry. I know no pics. The antique dealer didn't seem hop on it. The case was a little scratched, but no show through on the gold. The acrylic was clear but could be replaced. The dial had some shadowing, but I found it to be nice patina on the dial

 

then the answer is ... maybe!


(look at the for sale section here and flip back some 20 pages and give yourself an answer if this is a good deal or not.)
