Not uncommon and doesn't effect value.
Agree with everyone about the price.
OP, if you're open to buying a stainless steel watch rather than gold, this one might be worth considering. Sister ref. 2576 with a subdial, otherwise similar configuration as the one you posted with the added bonus (at least for me) that it doesn't have radium lume on the dial and the BoR bracelet.

Disclaimer: It's not my watch, and I don't know the seller. If I didn't already own enough watches of this style, I would buy it for myself.
I find it interesting how a simple 14kt Rolex OP goes for $4-5k yet a vintage gold omega with a nice dial is valued less
Add Patek into the mix and you may find it increasingly interesting. At a time where the value of gold is at an all-time high, the price of an entry-level gold watch is dominated by the value of the gold, while the value of more prestigious brands is still dominated by collectibility.
