Is this a fair price for 2001 Ladies Datejust with stretch (pics)

Hi guys

(Or if you don't know, just an opinion on how bad the stretch is would be great).
I have the opportunity to purchase a 2000/2001 Ladies datejust for £2000, or about $3200 dollars. I think it is 79174.
The bracelet is pretty stretched, I have uploaded 2 screenshots to show
- Can you advise how bad this is on a scale of 1 to 10?
Also the watch has never been serviced but runs well. Other than the bracelet the watch is in good condition.
It has a factory mother of pearl face (no diamonds).

The quandary I have is I do like the watch, but it is quite stretched. I like the mop pattern
- Is it quite hard to find a particular mop pattern you like?
I have ruled out buying a newer version with the super-jubilee bracelet as I just don't really like the design and updated contours.
Also
- Is £2000 pretty close to what the RRP would have been in 2000/2001?
- Is it reasonable to pay for this watch?

Would appreciate your thoughts, thank you

From that photo I could tell you more about the condition of the brick wall than the watch. Do you have so anything clearer?

:) sorry no, that is what I was sent by the seller, a short vid which I have screencaptured. Hopefully the overall angle tells a tale of some sort?

Like I said in your other post, don't worry about the bracelet but try to negotiate the price down a bit.

So Adam, what condition is the wall?
