I'm in the market for a 125 and have come across two locally... One has the whole package and costs twice than the other which is just the watch in a newer omega case.

Which one would you opt for? Any glaring issues about any two of these?
Thanks!

1. "Full package" one:

2. 1/2 the price of the 1st one:

Hi, first of all good choice to go for a 125 👍 I have one too 😁

I am not an expert but I think I would try to assess the watches based on https://speedmaster125.com/ for originality.
Maybe someone else can judge both watches based on your pictures (do you have maybe some more?). Is there any known service history?

I wouldn't give much for the whole package but care more for the better watch. What are the prices in total? Shall the box of the first be really the one that came with the box originally?
I also would pay extra attention to the condition of the bracelet since they are not easy exchangeable. The bracelet of mine had a lot of stretch and broke. Since then I can't wear it and wait for a new one from Omega to arrive which I ordered in October...

Cheers
Alex

The first is like 3100€ the second is around 1400€, both boxes are in my opinion incorrect. But I am having a hard time getting my eyes straight on these even using the website the cases always seemed like they are melting so I am at a loss in figuring out which of the two cases is "better" or worse... The bad looking lume on the 2nd one is not a dealbreaker for me as I could get it re-done or leave as is but looking at them again now both seem to be having problems with the not nicely aged lume. What has me scratching my head is the case...

Currently no better photos of the 2nd one.
