We found this watch at an estate sale today. I have read up and seen what this can go for. I want to make sure I have the real deal. From what i have read you need to take the back off to tell, so I suppose i will have to go to a jeweler. Is there any otherr indicators? Has anyone any idea what one of these would go for with original box and paperwork? Before selling would it be worth it to find a band and have a jeweler replace the crystal and service it?

Nice find! Hope you got it cheap. Servicing and cleaning etc are going to cost 350 to 550 range if you are in north america. Unless you have a good connection who can do the work cheap it might be better to sell it as is. The costs of repair will erode your winnings. Direct it at someone who does their own work. As it is now you can get probably 700 bucks. If you were selling from europe 800 euros. I've had the watch before I sold it through my friend in europe. Germans like these and they pay good. But they won't buy it if shipped from the usa. 28% import tax is not pretty. Just my opinion, could be wrong though.
