: I recently purchased a used Stainless Steel
: Seamaster 600, with a 601 calibre movement,
: movement serial number 23289281 and the
: internal case number 135.012 It has an Omega
: stamped crown, but the crown appears to move
: and slightly move the dial/internal
: mechanism, I suspect this will prevent the
: waterproof seal from being fully
: operational. It does 'mist up' slightly. Any
: suggestions, any details on age, the Omega
: site hasn't helped a lot. Value?

Based on the serial number, the watch was manufactured in 1966.
My guestimate is that the value of the watch is somewhere around $500-600. Of course this depends heavily on the condition.
By the way, I would not rely on any 40 year-old watch to be waterproof.
