Help needed: Two Seamasters compared

gbesq

You don't want either. The first appears to have a refinished dial and a heavily polished case. The second is very overpriced. Your best bet for finding an authentic vintage Seamaster at a fair price is right here at OF on the private watch sales forum. Stick around, read as much as you can to educate yourself, ask questions, and most of all -- be patient. The right watch will come along at the right price. eBay and Chrono24 are bad places to start looking for a vintage watch when you're just venturing into the hobby.

This is my first and probably last thread here. I am on the lookout for a vintage Omega Seamaster and I've managed to narrow my selection down to the following two pieces:

Since I have no prior experience with buying a vintage Omega, I could really use some advice. Like most people here, I want to buy an accurate piece, not something that was put together from old parts.

With these two pieces, am I looking in the right direction? And if so, which one is of better value?
