Yep.

Again, red is more common, but no problem with a black date wheel.

Nice watch by the way! (I have a soft spot for the cosmo as I have recently acquired a display back version). Again, if you can get serial number and / or movement pics it will help.

The black date indicates a 'pre' version. They're the first batch that came out and usually date to 1968. I've had two of them over the years.

I would think $1800-$2400 is fair for a good example. Maybe a few hundred more for a mint one. $4200 seems high to me.
