Too old to me and have no interest in it.
If it was worn by a family member or something it would have some value but definitely not a stranger’s 50 year old watch.

Sounds steep. You could get an immaculate 16710 for that.

The value in older watches is in originality.

A changed dial, insert, and hands doesn't leave much there to ask top-dollar for. It's probably a very nice watch but priced too high.

Negotiate for a better deal. Too much for me to even look at the watch
Good luck

Old GMTs with all original parts are quite rare. I'm seeing less and less of them each year. But ones with service parts? Very common, yes.
