    It is impossible to say what your particular tastes and likings are. Plus your tastes will likely change as you get more into various watches over time. This is not a watch that I have any interest in myself and I wish that I could be of more help. Cheap? 150-200 is cheap, 4-600 is not cheap if it is for a watch that you don't want in the future.
    The watch appears OK from a casual assessment, might even be a bargain, don't know. You'd have to decide how much you want to pay and bid accordingly and a little above. I would not bid until the end.

    It not a bad watch. There were other cooler dial options but that one isn't the worst. Yes, it has a 565 and don't go more than @ $225 because it will need servicing. These sell in mint condition with a service already done for $350 usually, to an absolute max of $400.

    RUN away, this is a Seamaster COSMIC not a COSMIC 2000. The dial has been incorrectly refinished.

    The COSMIC 2000 is a completely different later line of watches and used the 10xx series movements. There were MANY different COSMIC 2000 designs and this one is NOT one of them.

    This listing shows an actual COSMIC 2000.

    Guess that explains why I thought the "other dial options" were better! :p

    Nice catch.
