NEED HELP Pricing 1675 GMT with Purple Dial

Hello, my watch dealer got the 1675 GMT with Purple Dial the other day from the 1960's (1966 if I am not mistaken)
She got it almost for free as she told me and wants me to tell her how much I want to buy this watch for. What would be a fair price for it so she would be happy and I would get a good deal. What would be my minimum and maximum price in case I would need to bargain? Please help because she didn't offer it to anyone else yet and I am trying to steal this deal.
The bracelet in horrible condition but its fixable.

(MADE A TYPO IN TITLE, ITS 1675)

Offer 5K and take it from there... but get everything checked first.

Highly desireable fuscia bezel insert. Lume on hands doesn’t match the dial. Case is so so. I’d ask in the vintage forum here. Also, not sure if it’s a typo but this is a 1675.

5k would be an amazing deal. After a service and new bracelet you should have a hell of a watch. The bezel insert alone, as long as it checks out, goes for north of 5k.

Anything under 10k and you scored a great deal.

“She got it almost for free”

Sounds a bit unethical...

In this day of the World Wide Web, I can't imagine a watch dealer not being able to come up with a fair price on their own. There are fair deals and there is stealing. Send a pic to HQ Milton and you can get a quick quote. JP (Springer) is the resident GMT expert. You can PM him. In my opinion these 5K quotes are in the stealing range.
