omega speedmaster automatic reduced

I have had this since 1999 & it has been ok, couple of months back I dropped it on the carpet, gentle drop nothing special but it stopped working. It has never been good at self winding since day 1 and I put that down to having a desk job.

i have just got round to getting it looked at & I am getting it has some badly worn bits, so estimate is difficult

It has no sentimental value so what would your limit be on the repair bill before righting it off as a loss.

prob cheaper to sell it to the trade broken, they can fix it at trade price then.

A any one got a idea as to how much trade would offer

Interested in hearing the answer on this one as I came across a few 2nd hand ones the other week (in the £700s) and thought they seemed good value, so asked about them on here.

However, I imagine a service and repair may run to a few hundred and I am yet to pull the trigger for that reason as I guess a fair few go unserviced and I was thinking of picking up a 'cheap' one and sending it to Omega but wasn't sure the 'value' would still be there.
