Any thoughts on this one?

No, don't buy it. It's a totally overpriced, redialed watch.

Thanks for the advice! Tough to find a good one at present.

Yes but I think with your enthusiasm you maybe getting slightly off track, the OP is looking for a black dialled Seamaster from the 60's or70's.

If the text on a black dial is white, it's most likely shite.

A lot of original black dialed 60's dress Seamasters will have black gloss dials with silver or gold gilt text. This is what makes them desirable in the first place and why they are often re-dialed. They are pretty hard to find in good original condition, and by good I mean with a perfect and damage free glossiness to the dial.

Be skeptical/suspicious if the one you are looking at is missing either of these attributes.

A good proportion of the dreadful 60's dress Seamaster black re-dials that I see around have the wrong finish to the dial ( matt or not glossy enough ) and also white text. These are easy tells and should raise warning signs. I reckon at least 95% of EBay watches in this category are re-dials so watch out!

Here a few original black dialed 60's Seamasters, all glossy and gilt.
