The subject watch as shown in the watch cleaner basket has not had the auto winding mechanism dismantled, the manual wind mechanism dismantled, minute train removed, or the crown wheel removed! Don’t let the sender convince you to pay a premium for the “service” this watch has received. It will need to be done again, and there is a possibility that parts might be required. Faulty or worn out parts not identified because of the sloppy repair job. In fact, I would suggest you walk on this one!

what are your thoughts on the lower one?

It does to me but also heed what Canuck says, he's a watchmaker.
I’m listening to everyone! I really appreciate the help everyone is giving me! Really don’t know what to look for atm. Trying to research but sometimes you just need the opinion of the experts

You see that fancy gizmo attached to the regulator arm? Omega thought that movement was capable of keeping very good time, so they added a micrometric regulator (fancy term for "fine adjustment"). That's a bonus if that's the steel Seamaster.

My recommendation is that you aim at one of the later calibre Omegas. For example, a caliber 565, or one of the models akin to the 565. My understanding is that replacement parts for the older calibers you have shown, are tough, or impossible to get. As to the second movement you have shown? If you ask someone how a vintage car parked by the curb looks, it is impossible to tell without putting it up on a hoist, and running a bunch of tests. Look for one of the newer calibers where you have more options once you own it!

Yeah that’s the silver one. Does everything look alright to you on that? I know the dial and case are rather battered but I don’t mind that look to be honest.

Does this cal of movement mean that I have a date window? Just because I don’t really want one. I’d prefer the watch to be time only.

I used the calibre 565 as an example. In the link I included, the calibre 550, 551, and 552 listed, are basically the same movement without calendar. Check the listings to the right of the movement pictures.
