They're both real, so that's a great start! Textured dials with pink gold furniture are generally worth a bonus point or two....but of course the price is key as to whether or not you did well....?
519€ for the automatic with 344 bumper movement, 399€ for the manual wind with 265 movement.
Yeah, I wouldn't say you've done really bad, but not really good either, as @padders says above your movement doesn't correlate date wise with your case back of the manual wind watch...so basically it's a Franken. Then the other one doesn't have a case back, so actually an incomplete watch with a funky display back.
The proof of whether you did alright or not will really be decided when you come to sell them!
Someone put these together from parts, perhaps to make use of movements that had been orphaned after scrapping gold cases. I would be curious to see how the seller described these on eBay. If they were described as original, for example, you would definitely have grounds for return.
With the age of them it's understandable for a replacement part here and there. Myself and many of my friends are about the same age and have replacement hips, knees, as well as screws and bailing wire holding us together.
