Vintage Matte dial Sea Dweller question

Ok I know this is sort of a broad question and Im unable to get photos right now; but can you guys give me a ball park for a reasonable price on a transitional plastic crystal matte dial Sea Dweller. It will be in very good condition with the dial showing little age and bracelet showing normal wear. I know its broad and Im not looking for a dead, spot on price; just a ball park. Thanks in advance

I've always believed the transitional Sea Dweller have sapphire crystal.

But I can be wrong.

X2. Greek is right on. Nice ones are rather expensive though.

That was a transitional 16660 sapphire crystal. Rare and collectible but not in the same league as the one I should have coming. I just dont know as much about the vintage "grail" watches as I do the modern grail watches. It's nice though, I wish I had detailed pics but I havent seen the watch yet, I just got a phone call from a source gauging my interest. I was just looking for a ballpark on what I should offer and what it may bring. Thanks again for all the info guys.
