About $1250 if the plating isn't too beat up

Keep in mind gold plated ones fetch a lot less than steel or solid gold.

How does this late 321 pricing compare to earlier 321 seamaster chronograph models, such as the 321 made in the 1960. similar to http://biphome.spray.se/maciej.kosinski/Seachro61/seachro61.html

What metal are we talking about? That will be the primary price factor.

sorry, had a look at some of your earlier postings. the material is probably gold shell. thicker than plating, but not solid gold.

Maybe slightly more than electroplate, but not much.

so the model itself or a bit older age does not bring any more value? the dial and indicator seem to differ between later and earlier models. the watch is actually very similar in condition to the one that the article is about(pre restored). although this watch is mechanically in good condition and working also the dial is in good shape. any rough estimate for the value?

thanks for your comments

A photo really helps, there is a lot of variety here.
