You need to start a new thread for your inquiry

A 2913 seamaster can be valuable depending on condition. You really need to post a pic for a proper assessment. They've sold in a wide range of prices lately. Does the watch have it's original bezel? Intact original bezels are a premium.

Hello all. I too am new to this thread. I am looking for some
: advice on an old Seamaster 300 I found in some old family
: belongings. The watch appears to have some damage to the
: numerals and dial, and there is no second hand. I did some
: initial research online and narrowed down the model to the late
: 50's. I took the watch to my local jeweler and he removed the
: back. Below is what he found on the inside mof the back cover:

: CBN: 2913-3
: SC
: Movement 20 jewels Auto
: MCN: 6297613

: The jeweler did not think there would be tremendous value for the
: watch because of the apparent water damage, but he did admit
: that the real value is what someone is willing to pay for it. He
: also thought there could be parts value because of the 501
: mechanism.

: The issue for me is I don't know enough to get an idea of the
: relative value of this timepiece. I understand that I also have
: the option of sending it to Omega to get repaired and make it an
: heirloom, but that could cost over $1,000.

: So essentially I am looking for some input on what I have, how rare
: and old is it, and suggestions about what to do with it? The
: watch does keep accurate time. Having trouble taking a picture
: that gives detail.
