·I'm considering these two watches and I'd like to hear any opinions on them.
Option 1: 1958 Seamaster gold cap 2849-9SC. $550. Looks reasonable to my untrained eye. Probably a bit high in price, but I've been having problems finding reasonable 1958 examples. (I'm looking for a birth year vintage Omega.) Doesn't appear to have suffered the punishment from the dreaded buffing wheel... Movement clean.
Option 2: 1958 Seamaster 14k dome. Seller asking $1625 thinking this a pie pan. While I do see it being domed, it certainly does not have the pie pan angular lines. If this is a redial, it looks to be a pretty good job. I'm thing the price for a 14k should be in the ~$800 range, but I'd like feedback on that assumption. Movement appears clean and case not over polished.
I'd like to keep this watch for a long time, until I'm fully horizontal, so I have no problem waiting for one to come up for sale here. However, searching the archives shows very few 1958's offered for sale.mas
