    Its an honest watch, but the movement ( well what you can see of it) has been worked on by a gorilla - rust, terrible mangled screw heads etc. There is lume missing ( blue 24 hr hand) and not sure if the red hands are correct ( not an expert on these)

    Biggest red falg is the movement - why isnt there a photo of the WHOLE movement ?

    So unless you can see this, you will have no clue what else is wrong

    It is always better to pay up for a stellar example than get a "Deal" on a mediocre one...

    Both of these watches look very tired and unappealing (to me at least).
    Not the kind of vintage watch I would like to buy, or recommend others to buy..

    And i forgot to mention - these are massive, and get lots of knocks - just look at the case / lug nick on the second watch you posted ( bottom right lug)

    These sit high on the wrist as well
