Thanks for posting the photos Pedro.

Nice watch and they've been quite sympathetic with it - the case hasn't had its model and serial numbers polished off, for example. The hands are the right type for the watch too - one of the things I was wondering about when you mentioned it had been restored. Personally, I'm not too keen on relumes - the hands are fine, but the markers are a bit blobby in a couple of places. Still, that's a personal preference of mine and nothing to affect the value.

I'd stick with the range of values in my original reply. If you are thinking of selling, you can stress the fact that it has been serviced. I'd lean towards keeping it though, these aren't the easiest of watches to replace if you find yourself hankering after one again in the future!
