Please help to appraise this vintage Glashutte in stainless steel. I am wondering if it is genuine as it has English words on case back. Seller said that this watch was made in the 1960s.

It looks pretty authentic to me. BTW, English was also the international language even back then so you would see Made in Germany, Japan etc on products. The dial might be redone and it might be a 1970's + version. Just a guess. You would have to look it up in a watch book.

I think 1960s is correct. It's EAST german production "GUB" though...these are fairly cheaply made watches.

Should I be paying around $150 for this? Or is it worth much less? Thanks very much.

I think that's OK, but it will most likely not increase in value as a collectible.
