Thank you for all of your replies and help. I see the Speedmaster hands are black in the centre and not white, is that the problem? Simple thought - why not take the works out and repaint the hands? Is it that difficult?
I've weighed No2 (the solid gold) it it weighs exactly 140 grams. How much to deduct for works / glass / crown and other sundry steel bits?
Here are the other 2 for your critique.
A 1948 winder (?), which, according to his notes, he knew had an incorrect dial and (probably) hands. (The case numbers match) And it is a Dennison ?
Personally I like this best of them all!

A watch he referred to as a Sheik Special! Mid 90's quartz.

I have a document that stated the diamonds are 0.84 carat. The whole watch at a somewhat unrealistic $6550. Surely not the new price?
As someone mentioned above, the size of these these 2 would make Ladies' watches. Especially "blackie".
Plus a Breitling Chronograph (810)
Plus a Ladies Omega. (1960's) Tiny.
And a 1933 Ladies Jaeger LeCoultre. (Cocktail watch)
And a 1923 Ladies Rolex.(Cocktail watch)
And a 50's 18ct Chronograph. It shows "Ascot De Luxe" and "Incabloc Chronographe Suisse" on the dial.
Quite a varied collection!
