Price on a vintage SM 120 Diver?

Hi All

I have the opportunity to get this Seamaster 120 Diver. It's a ref 166.0088 using a calibre 1002 and the Serial number sets it at 1971.

Checking on the Omega vintage site and other sources on the web confirm that it's all original (except for the wrong omega bracelet). The dial is is mint condition as is the bezel, the hands are showing some signs of age but not too bad considering they are original (including the funky blue second hand) and both front & back casing are unpolished so show some scratches but no dents (and again very good for the age). The only part of the watch that appears not to be from 1971 is the crown which has recently been replaced by the correct NOS item. The watch is being offered by my regular watchsmith who has just serviced it and will give me some kind of guarantee on it.

So, any thoughts on what would be a reasonable price to pay for this puppy?

BTW, has anyone else got one?

Thanks
Andy
