Best thing to do for market value is check eBay- but 600€ is very low for a vintage Navitimer.

well, it isn't 1960, but quite a bit later; seems to have a service replacement dial; need a shot of the caseback please to say anything relevant.

movement is a correct Venus V178, produced before 1968.

no matter what, the price offered to you is FAR too low.

Hey,i disagree (partly) with Fred for once ?
I havent seen the serial number , nor have I counted the beads but it may very well be a 56 to 64 model ?
Used to have a black or b/w original dial and now has a service dial

Would need the serial number to know exactly what the watch looked like

I do agree with the valuation, should be quite a bit more than 600 , parts by itself are worth more

So according to the serial number the watch is from 1960 but it has a replacement / service dial

Rene is, of course, correct; did just quickly look at dial/hands and totaly missed the bezel.

Full service replacement: All hands, scalering and dial. I really like the replacement dial but not with rice beaded bezel...
