Everything that is not original affects value, also a watch that has been polish will lose some appeal for some collectors that prefer the “survivor” style, I think that hand will not be easy to find because is not a very common watch, value depends in how much it bothers you the hand and how much do you know about the watch, a seller that do not mention the problem with the hand doesn’t know what is selling or is trying to hide info because he really knows what is selling so be careful.
If I were you I would ask for some movement shots, if there are problems outside who knows wants is inside… the price is ok but you need to be sure about the movement, etc.
I found a photo of what is supposed to be the movement....a manual Valjoux 7740
