Mhhhh!
Seemingly a 5513 from 1983-1985 if all parts except bezel and hands are contemporary. Bezel seems from some 14060 from around 1995 and the hands are likely superluminova replacement (as Bill says). I know that because of the many original replacement parts on my 5513 from 1967.
You can define a fair price after searching for a watch with similar specifications in the Internet and checking for which ones have replacement parts (brighter hands lume for instance).
And I do not see it heavily polished either…

Try and shine a UV light on the bazel pip and hands they will glow stronger as replacement are luminova vs tritium. Do you notice they are a little whiter?
The bezel pip looks newer but the hands and hour indices are a similar color.
I just used a digital color checker and RGB values are close enough from the photos that I don't think they were replaced. The bezel pip has been changed but that's not uncommon. I don't see over polishing anywhere. The chamfers aren't crisp like new but ...
My observations
- service bezel insert. - could be service hands - not more than “normal” polish. Should not take down the price too much. (If I had a 5513 I would not sell it, but that’s my very personal opinion). To me it looks very well taken care of (without having s...
