What's a restoration worth?

Folks, I know this is a Rolex forum, but I'm looking at a 60s model vintage compressor watch that has been fully restored. I'm negotiating a price vs a another in similar condition but with no service history.

Provided that all else is equal in regards to condition of the case, crystal, dial, etc., what might a full restoration on a vintage watch like this be worth?

$100? $200 $300

I know that service and restoration will be different for every watch depending on its condition and movement, but I'm trying to get a realistic idea of how much more the restored watch is worth. Not to mention the hassle of actually having it done.

I guess the better question to ask is: How much more would you pay for a watch that has just been fully restored?

Any feedback is appreciated and a photo of the movement during restoration is included below. Thanks in advance.
