Omega Seamaster subseconds - gorgeous creamy dial - dauphine hands - 1960 - This is a gorgeous stunner in excellent original condition! The original white dial has developed a gorgeous creamy patina, it looks absolutely amazing. The pictures really don’t do it justice, it looks 10000x nicer in the flesh than in the pictures. The steel case is in excellent unpolished condition, with light signs of use. The caseback is engraved. The crown is original and Omega signed. The watch is a ref 14389-6, powered by a manual wind cal 268 from 1960. It was last serviced in March 2017, it works perfectly and keeps great time. It has nice wrist presence, measuring 35,5mm diameter without crown, and 43,6mm from lug to lug. - $599 incl worldwide shipping - pics: https://imgur.com/a/e8ZI9OT

My comment: I love the patina color!!

Based off the appearance of the dials: 2. Also in bed the pics in future posts....hyperlinks inhibit longevity if they ever get pulled.
Thanks!!!

Which is a better deal, might be different than which model would I like to own. Personally I like the size and small seconds dial of number 1. However patina is in the eye of the beholder, and I don't find it as appealing of a dial as number 2. As for 2 being a better deal since it has been serviced, depends on if you know and trust the servicer.

FYI, if you posted the pictures you would likely get more replies. Not many will take the time to go to three different FS ads to look at these for you.

I wouldn't waste my cash on any of those. It's possible to find better for the same money if you look. And the descriptions are full of bullshit which is never a good sign.

Dat is true - not paying the ask price (I never do) - even if discounted with a strikethrough price showing, is the key. GLWP.

#2 is a redial.

Is it just me or does #1 look like a redial?

The Seamaster text looks a little off to my eyes.
