Welcome to the forum, an introduction, please and thank-you are always a good way to join a community.
The pictures are really poor but I think it’s likely the first one has a refinished dial.
T TomolokThanks Davidt for your input!
I’m going to pass on these, however while doing my research, another question has come up.
I found a constellation with date window but the caseback says 14900, shouldn’t it be 14902? Seller says it’s original, and I’ve come across other listings like this. Is it a wrong caseback? Replica watches or did omega just piece together parts in transition periods?

One thing you've learned is obvious.....sellers can say anything....
very true, thanks for everyone’s input. I’m still learning, and wanted to know what y’all thought of redials and price? Seller says this one is originally but it doesn’t pass the MOY test, what would you pay for this?One thing you've learned is obvious.....sellers can say anything....
14900 steel, 14902 for gold capped, so it is correct for the steel case.
I’m not sure where you found this information but it’s not correct.
14900 no date dogleg - later, 167.005
14902 date dogleg - later, 168.005
As the dogleg mid-case is common to both, if a dogleg has a date and a 14900 caseback, either the movt/dial have been replaced or the caseback has.

For the C case models I think the MOY rule is not always followed there are more dial variations. This grey dial is quite attractive. To evaluate case need angled photos to show if edges are sharp like this. Note the end of lug with sharp bevel as well.
Movement photo blurry but you can see regulator needle all way to one side which suggests need for service, as well as pretty heavy rotor rub so I would factor cost of service $300-500 range.
I would hold out for one with sharp unpolished case these are often overpolished.
What is asking price?
And great article on these C case by Desmond

Thank you for the correction!
