I think the watch was mfg in the early 1980s. It is a sapphire crystal. Many things go into a watches value. I would say $825 is not a bad cost.
: Dear Fellow Omega Watch Fanatics: I drop by my
: local jewelers this morning and was shown a
: beautiful Seamaster that I just can't quite
: figure out and could use some insight. First
: of all it's a 18K-Stainless Steel Seamaster
: Chronometer with a white face. The watch is
: in Mint to near-mint condition. Other than
: the simple operating papers and the Box,
: there's no way to tell the age of the watch.
: The owner of the store took the watch in
: trade 6 months ago and he wore it himself a
: few times. (he loves Omega watches). Anyway,
: upon further inspection of the watch I saw
: that there were numbers on the band that
: said: 1501/823 also under the watch were the
: band meets the head it says: DA-823
: He's asking $825.00, and I had the money on me,
: but thought I'd ask the people who know and
: love these watches. He says he'd be happy to
: hold the watch until Monday September
: 18th,so what I'd like to know is this: 1)
: when was the watch manufacture?
: 2) Does that watch come with a Saffire or
: plastic crystal?
: 3) is it worth $825.00? Or better yet what is
: it worth?
: Thanks for you time,
: Matt
