Not sure how much this particular model would be worth. However you don't want anyone to mess with the dial on this watch. Not much chance of you being harmed by the very little radio active material on the dial. I wouldn't let just anyone service your watch. But for me this would be true no matter what Rolex we were talking about. Hopefully a more knowledgeable person will come along and give you a better idea as to the value of this watch.
