Questions:
1) It is very common for this to happen.
2) The one picture is not the best. It looks fine.
3) Yes, provenance and accessories does add value to waches. If you are seeing them for 10-12, get one of those... They are not common in the market place with papers. The owner or dealer establishes the prices. I agree with you, some are ridiculously priced.
4) Yes, they seem correct. Does it glow when exposed to light? I doubt it. No ideal if anything was replaced, looks correct.
5) It was normal to buy these watches without bracelets and down the line buy one. A person can buy replace jubilee or oyster bracelet to their taste... Does it hurt value, no, I think it is a premium, if in good shape.
Anything else - See if the dealer will open the case back to see if it has a year date stamped, also to see if it has any corrosion or other issues, just for your information.
Good Luck!
