Just thought I'd share the recent 3 I've purchased and get your views on them.
And maybe drop a price you think I paid for them or the maximum you would pay.

The first one is 9ct manual wind Geneve
601cal 131/2 5421

Second is a manual wind
267 cal bk 2903 1

Third seamaster 30 manual
286 135.003

Look forward to your views. Thanks

Congrats on your purchases. Don't leave us guessing on the price. We'd be throwing random numbers.

Limited with the photos, but the Geneve looks good to me. Not fond of the dial on the second watch, but still, it's fairly decent. While the Seamaster 30 looks weird. Looking at how close the applied logo and print is, the faded M and the crooked G on the Omega print, it seems like a redial to me. Also the Seamaster writing on these is different; look at the dial below of the same reference.

So the Geneve was £165
Second was £215
And the seamaster 30 £245
You think it's a good price or over paid? On some

yea I did think the seamaster 30 logo looked very close. It's weird and yea I the font is slightly different. I'll have to get a few more better pictures to see what you think. Tho it's got the original crystal with logo in it the serial number is flashing up 1963. And it was purchased in Paris from a main dealer from new over 60 years ago. Only one owner.

So the full number in the back is actually
135.003-62-SC is that make a difference

There is actually one on eBay now very very similar https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115961295290

Even if we wanted to, it would be hard to guess prices without knowing if a watch is solid gold, gold-capped, or gold-plated. Since you already bought them, my suggestion is to just enjoy your watches and don't worry about prices.

I believe it's solid
But prices on these are all over the place. Some will sell for £500/600 one week then the next £200

Good prices I'd say. The most important is you liking them and having wrist time.

For the Seamaster 30. It's not unusual for the Logo to be close to the print. I have an earlier, reference 2504, that does the same. Also the Seamaster text looks well printed. May as well be an original dial, not sure. Maybe a better photo can be more helpful.

Ahh right ok I appreciate your feedback. I'll get some better pictures shortly.

Just to elaborate. The individual parts, the logo and printing, look alright. As a whole, comparing to other dials of this same reference, it looked weird to me. Reading this blogpost, that guy has done kind of an investigation on the different variations of the Seamaster text as it appears in a 135.005 (not exactly your reference, but close enough).

It may be original or a redial. I kind of lean to a redial, but I'm far from an expert. Hopefully someone with more experience and knowledge can give some insight.

Yea that's cool I'm hoping it's not a radial but maybe somebody with more experience knows.

So the seller has told me it's it was purchased in Paris from new at an omega shop. It's got the original crystal I can see the logo very faint may have had a polish. The crown plating had come off. Aftermarket straps but has apparently had the original bucket fitted.

I have just noticed that right at the bottom where is says -SWIFT MADE- it's only just visible in the dial it's like half behind the bezel??

Hard to tell, but it looks like it's being obscured by the tension ring on the crystal. If it's the original crystal and ring, then it shouldn't block. But who knows what part may have been changed during its long life.
