Assistance finding the right vintage Speedy

Hello all. Not my first time asking for help here, and all responses I've received so far have been extremely helpful.
I'm trying to find a nice vintage speedy and don't yet have the eye to recognize a good deal from a bad one.
At the end of the day, I'm looking for a nice example that I will be proud to own and wear as often as I please (I have 2 more recent Speedy's so it would be a rotation).

I've had my eye on this eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254448857753 (photos posted in comments below), which looks pleasing to me despite the bracelet being a recent issue. However it's been listed before and didn't sell so I'm thinking there may be some red flags. Thinking about offering $4,500.

At the same time, I've been offered a 145.022 from 1979 (pics attached), also for $4,500 that looks in nice condition, coming from a NYC dealer with a recent service history. I've been promised it's all original but wanted some confirmation. It has a bump on the bracelet and some chips on the bezel, on top of some regular wear and tear for a 40 year old watch.

Would love some insight as to which looks like a better deal for the price!
Thanks in advance.

Not a lot right about the eBay watch.

Wrong bezel wrong bracelet.

The big red flag is the dial plot at 7. Now look at the rest of the plots, they show the same leakage.

This watch is someone’s attempt to make good something that is not.

Your idea of $4500 is not wrong per se , though I would not pay it.

It’s just a watch with a lot of issues that will become more and more obvious to you in ownership.

The NY dealers watch is more honest. I didn’t catch the price.

Asking price is $4,500 for the NY dealers watch.

Need better resolution on the NY watch

This is all I have unfortunately. Dial and hands appear to be original, and wear and tear doesn't seem excessive. 1979 is also my birth year which has some appeal to me. So far it has my preference.

I have two reccos ... Speedmaster 101 and invest in a copy of Moonwatch Only.
