Derek,

Thank you so much for your help. I went ahead and posted a picture if it helps - this is just like mine, but mine has a silver face. I REALLY appreciate your help with this difficult decision.

Thanks again - All the best,

Melissa

: That is very hard to do based on only a general
: description like that. The name
: "Seamaster Cosmic 2000" is not
: enough to identify it specifically--there
: were several styles within that series. But
: I suspect that watch was made somewhere
: around the early 1970's.

: Without a more precise reference number or at
: least a photo, any value estimate would be a
: very rough guess.

: *But*, as a general guideline, most steel
: Omega's over 20 years old in good shape tend
: to sell for $200-500. The exceptions are
: ones in really mint shape, a few
: particularly unique models, or those with
: solid gold cases.

: That is about half to a third of a new ladies
: basic steel Omega. Also may equal or exceed
: the value of the watch *after* it is
: restored. Sure seems a lot to put into
: restoring what you have.

: But then dealers like to push you to a full
: restoration when possibly a much simpler fix
: would make the watch servicable for a few
: more years.

: I'd suggest telling the dealer to send it back
: unrepaired. Then take it to a small watch
: repair shop and see what they can do for
: you.

: The 8-digit serial number should be *inside*
: the watch, on the movement.
