Not sure if you have handled either options yet, but i would definately do this before any purchase - as these are big wathces (all dimensions) and the thick deep case does get knocked about a lot.
Me, I,d go vintage, but you may have to patient. Good examples are around, but there are a lot ropey examples about. (In the end i went for a Mark 4.5 - as patience is not one of my strong points!)
Good luck with your search regardless
Cheers paul
