Orient Racer 27 jewel chronoace black dial

Hi all,
Just looking for some information on this particular watch. I understood the earlier ones had the 27 jewels. I have had this one for a couple of years, and had kind of been looking for a crystal for it, to no avail yet, some scratches and marks on the crystal. Also is there a collector market for these watches, looking on the big site and others I see they go for a fair amount of money, but who is to say.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
