Recently bought this from a seller that seemed trustworthy, here's a link to the post + more pictures.

I assume it's just an aftermarket bracelet - which is common for this time period? Was hoping for some reassurance on the rest

yes very you could have gotten something so much nicer for that amount $767 is ludicrous
Case is badly worn dial is all marked at the hour markers I would honestly consider getting this returned. you can easily pick these up in better condition for under £300 / $407

The hour and minute hands look like they're from a Speedmaster.

Yeah, are you referencing the flat caseback here? From what i've seen it's common on some of the older 166.051 like you can see here and this was also mentioned in the post so I didn't think that was nessecarily cause for concern

I think he's referencing the gold plating being worn down to the base metal.
