Two concerns that jump out at you immediately... the case appears to have been polished and the bezel insert is an aftermarket as this reference did not have a DON ( dot over 90 ) insert. The case-back is correct, the dial and hands are correct. I have no clue what's going on with the lume as I'd expect to see some slight patina. I'd pass on the one you are questioning and find a better example. Prices for this reference probably range from high 3s to high 6s.
Here are two from your birth year on Chrono 24... you can research the price as it will vary depending on condition, box and papers, bracelet etc. Both examples have the correct bezel insert.

Hello, I am considering buying this Speedmaster and wanted to know if it looks correct or if anything looks concerning...I know the bracelet is not correct, but not much else. SN is 4525xxxx, which I believe is an 82-83. I was looking for an 85(birthyear), but this is close enough I guess... Also, what's a good price on this one?
Are you sure? Have another closer look 馃榾

Indeed, there is something off about this particular watch. That said, thread with caution on Chrono24 as well; the first link reveals a Speedy that comes with a correct bezel insert and what is clearly a service dial. From personal experience; it is actually quite hard to find a nice early 80s Speedmaster at the moment. 馃榾
there's no question the bezel insert is incorrect, but finding a replacement is possible
True but sourcing a decent bezel from this era might set you back $500-700 or even more (if you can even find one). Worth factoring in if you're interested in having the watch fully period correct.
Have you seen this one?
