Want help evaluating 18k seamaster

Hi. Looking for a vintage omega. Would love your opinion on this one I found off ebay. The dial looks redone, though seller claims all are authentic as to his knowledge. But he is an individual seller, not a professional. He is asking for 1500 $(should be able to bring it down a little). I would like your opinion on it. Because it's 18k gold it will have at least the scrap value was my thinking. I am not a collector, this might be the only one I buy( at least till I can save up for a pie pan deluxe) and never used any quality Swiss watches before and would like the experience and also want it to be an omega. Right now I am price sensitive and can afford only around 1000k and a couple of hundred more for the right one with a decent omega vintage experience.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your response. Message recieved. I was blind sided by the gold. We Indians love our gold. 18k gold is worth around 55$ per gram (4600 Rupees) in india. This watch will have atleast 20 gms of gold. So around 1100$ worth of gold itself. But I am not looking to buy gold but a genuine omega. So point taken and passing this one.

Point taken. Disaster averted. Thank you.
