It's listed for parts/repair. Can't imagine it would be worth the cost of repairing.

Considering the potential cost of putting it right both mechanically and cosmetically (which could easily run into the several hundreds), and then also trying to source an original bracelet for it, then I'd say it's absolutely one to avoid.

For $1145 you can buy an (apparently) mint condition one on Chrono24 -
