Authentic 5504 Dial?

Hey everyone! I recently picked up a 5504 and am looking to get the correct dial on it as the current one is either off a 1016 or is a complete franken. The rest of the watch is all original from what I can tell. I've found this http://www.chrono24.com/rolex/dial-d...-id2972908.htm and the seller wants $750. It has obviously been refinished. Would you spend the money on this one or should I pay to have the one on mine, assuming it's an authentic dial, refinished to say Super Precision with gilt markers? Thanks!

Its a refinished dial, so in my opinion only worth 30% to 40% of all original.
And as its "refinished" - original hands will never match?
AND, I am not even sure its "Rolex original"

Please let others comment too
