any possibility of a picture of the said watch, for the seikoholics .    

The SKX007 is the most popular and photographed Seiko ever. Now discontinued, what the OP posted is not a 'real' SKX007, it's successor or a modified watch, with the Prospex logo disliked by many.

Spare links

NH36R movement

Automatic watch

Original back with seal.

Glass back on to show movement. Water tight with fresh seal.

Unfortunately no box.

seller says he bought it new in 2021 and did the modification.

Says he paid £550 did the mod himself as he is into horology. Original parts are now part of his Seiko SKX007J.

He changed the bracelet, case back, gold face, hands and bezel insert

 You can get a used king Seiko for that kinda money, its got a Chronograde movement and some are officially certified or a used Universal, perhaps even a JLC.

I was going to get that but paused and thought, it's worth just asking first.  I am very pleased I did.

It's just a 160 GBP watch. It has quality, brand and it's popular. The Japan dial and caseback are already worth more than what you would be paying, because people drools after them. Do not think too much, if you like it and can can afford it, go ahead and buy. In all cases there are at least a couple of forums around where people does nothing but talk about models and purchases, potential or not. Hanging out there may be also a pleasant diversion and of course it's free.
