As crazy as it sounds, I’m tempted to live dangerously. I’m covered by Etsy and my credit card. It would be a hassle to take it to a watchmaker for testing but could you imagine if it panned out? 😬
It would certainly be a great deal! Perhaps you can get the seller to send a clearer photo of the dial, post it here, and, if all looks good, go out on a limb and go for it

Quite certain this a scam account, I recognised some of the other listings on this etsy page pretty easily - they belong to Mister Wolf Time, an Australian dealer who manages to sell very average pieces for eye watering prices. That person would not sell anything in solid gold for that cheap.

Here are a few items from the etsy shop that are listed by mister wolf time.

https://www.misterwolftime.com/prod...-seamaster-tropical-dial-ref-2576-10-in-steel

One more thing - that etsy seller's name had nothing to do with watches, the seller has zero reviews and used an ai generated description for this constellation. Surely all of those things should have seemed odd?

I looked at the link you shared, even his name is different. On Etsy his name is “Joshua” on the mister wolf time website he is “Jason”. So grateful to have this community to confirm with.

Etsy is really not a place to buy a watch. That’s a bit of a red flag even before looking at the listing!

Dial looks repainted to me.
Slanted M and straight M on a dogleg?
Not sure I’ve seen that before.

Anyway for the price, for an 18k Constellation, got to be a scam - even for a redial.
