路Long time lurker and big "time" Omega fan. I have been spending many hours reading many posts trying to digest the vintage world which is very fun, entertaining and yet very scary since true good condition vintage seems to be scarce. I appreciate your passion. I do understand "good condition" is subjective. Thank you for all your expertise and commentary. It's very impressive. I'm looking to obtain a 60's seamaster such as a Seamaster 30 or Seamaster Calendar. I really dig the linen dials too. I'm specifically looking @ 2 on ebay but have some concerns. I am interested in adding a vintage piece to my collection/budding addition/attire. I'm sure there will be more to come, but this where I am at. The help I am seeking is further point out good/bad or inconsistent details with Omega standards/quality to help me determine if I will pursue any of these.

The first one looks like the Omega Refence135.003: https://www.omegawatches.com/planet...ache=1&cHash=4a7b94a72dac0713b0a33001e0ed0bff
It does not have the coathanger S as the picture does, which may be ok based on the 20.46 million number. The lume appears to be aged on hour markers and hands. The hour markers appear to be placed within the reference as does the " swiss made" markings. The "30" seems a bit dark and the O in omega seems off. Is this due to linen? The case looks pretty original and not polished. I don't know what to say about the band. These are my opinions after 6 months of getting into the beauty of omega vintage pieces. Please be gentle.
The second one is confusing. The lume is consistent as well as the hour marker placement, swiss made , case back. However it looks like a longines case. No pics of movement either馃檨.
Thanks in advance for all your time and knowledge. It is much appreciated. I'm really excited about getting a nice vintage on my wrist and have patience. Please forgive my opinions if they are off mark. I just want to show that I'm in this for the long hall. I eventually will want to collect more fine vintage pieces. This is way harder than obtaining new pieces! I have no interest in obtaining watches to flip. I did not know if posting links is better than attaching photos. Let me know.
