·Hi,
I am new looking to buy my first vintage watch. I really like the look of the late 1968-9 Omega Geneve blue sunburst series like 166.041 / 135.041.
I was thinking of getting an automatic movement for my first outing, so a cal 565 or similar, rather than a 601 or 613.
1) Can I get feedback on these examples?
A) 166.041 - cal 565 - £850 - looks ok but not sure, seems over priced £350-550 seems to be where the money it

B) 166.041 - cal 565 - £850 - is the black dial legitimate? assume not as not dial only shot. the crystal looks original / scratched although the listing say it was replaced.

2) For my reference and to build up some experience, I assume both of these have been heavily overhauled new crystal and cases polished. Welcome any observations on either to help guide my radar:

3) Where else beyond eBay is a good place to seek out such vintage watches (based in UK)? international is okay.
Discounted options
166.041 ? - cal 565 - sold for £330 and relisted, photos too bad to purchase from.

135.041 - cal 601 - manual cal and photos too bad to purchase from.
