Wow, this looks original. If so, it must be rare!
Take note that since it has a red dial, the second dot that's normally red is now white.

That is original and not often seen. To my knowledge, the red was only available in the square case too.

That is one that I have tried to find as well.  After all of this time I thought that I would have found one, but I have never even found an original red dial or the red reflector ring either.  I would like to have it, but I am too cheap to part with $500+ to get it ;D

I have also seen this watch last week when I was fooling around on ebay...

I was wondering how much it is "worth" ?
Do you think one should pay $500 for it ?

I guess I would buy it immediately for 350-400

I have always said it is all about whet a buyer is willing to pay. For an excellent Astro, or a rare one, I do not think $500 is unreasonable. Would I pay that, no way, but then I am not a fan of that model.

And a cheap b@stard too.

It was just like christmas for me today!  Just this morning I purchased a NOS stainless steel square astrographic case, with the NOS red reflector ring.  After all of this time looking for one, and unexpectedly one came to me.  Now....where to get NOS a red dial......
