I don't have it yet so I can't post photos,
On a sidenote, I was told that one lug is a bit bent, like just slightly. Is that a huge issue? Is it worth the risk straightening it? And is the bent lug a good indicator of the whole watch being 18K?
Bending lugs can be tricky. Even if you manage to do it without breaking a lug off, often the bend that happens when you bend it back is not the exact reverse of what happened when the bend happened (likely from a drop) initially.
Bending lugs back can actually bend/distort the case, and if the watch has a snap on back, or is a front loader that relies on the bezel to help hold the crystal in place, they can be quite risky.
I don't have it yet so I can't post photos, will do when I get it.

Also, do I need to be extra careful when picking a watch maker to service it if it's 18K? Does it require more skills?(for example opening it without scratching it)
You're going to need a skilled jeweler to fix that without causing more damage, good luck.
Why are you being so coy with the info? If you want meaningful advice it going to help if you post all the photos you have along with a description and price.
Otherwise everyone’s giving you generic advice that’s isn’t necessarily specific or accurate to your wqtxh.
Look at OPs post history, they're almost all weird. 😕
Lol. I will post pics if I manage to buy it(it's a Seiko watch and the price is around 1000$). The bent lug isn't that big of a deal I suppose.
Thanks for the tips everyone.
