I don’t want to spoil your newest purchase but I fear that you might bought a redial.
The dial of the original gold plated 145.029 should look like this
Hands also seem to be replaced.

oh interesting Max. I wonder if every gold top example is like your photo. Or could there be any variation through the years of production? I am very curious now and simply do not know 70s seamasters.
Hi OF,
Let‘s see some 145.029 love! This ref is somehow not often seen around here, even less so the blue/white panda version! So I‘ll kick this off with a little history on my watch:
Let‘s see how many 145.029‘s linger in the collections of OF!
Have a nice weekend OF!
Cheers,
Max
There might as well be other variations. It would help if you could post some higher resolution in focus pictures of your dial. Especially from the sub registers.

Of course now that I review the photos...there is a homemade quality to the dial.
No reason to be ashamed. We all paid some noob tax. Question is are you happy with it, and if not, can you return it?
You could also start hunting for an original dial. They do come up from time to time, keep an eye out on ebay.
Cheers,
Max
