Alright, here are the pictures of Bruce's watch:
Bruce said that he bought the watch 42 years ago. He's still working on the serial number to establish the exact date, but the watch is completely compatible with a mid 60s watch. I've said before when commenting on Navitimers that it's very difficult to put an exact date on them based on the look because items were in transition - red numbers on the slide rule had started to appear by around 1963 for example, but all black was still common.
Bruce said that it was serviced last year with the crystal being replaced - you can see the condition is good. A mid 60s Navitimer is a fine watch, but from a collectors standpoint it's nothing spectacular, but I think this one's a bit special. The watch is what it is, but this is one owner from new, still has the paperwork and still has the original bracelet (Bruce told me that he put a new bracelet on 20 years ago but kept the original).
A Navitimer of this vintage and in this condition, with the slightly more attractive (to collectors) AOPA wings is a $3,000 watch, and should fetch nearer $3,500 - especially with evidence of a recent service. With the history, documentation and the original bracelet that price goes up, but probably not hugely. I'll conservatively say $3,500 - $3,750, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it fetch more.
Bruce, if you choose to sell somewhere like eBay I would try and get some better qulity photos and I would make a big deal of the provenance, paperwork and service (include photos of the service receipt if you can - with personal information hidden).
