Request assessment of potential purchase

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing my first Omega watch, I'm an absolute beginner.
These two caught my attention and I'm looking for advice on:

  • do they look original or do they show obviously replaced parts?
  • they're listed at 1080 and 1490 respectively. Do they seem fairly priced?
  • any other eventual red flags?

The two resellers are vintage-portfolio.com and dumarko.com: in case you have any remark on either of those.

First one: Seamaster 30 Vintage, ref 125.003 (1080eur)



Second one: ref 185.022 (1490eur)


Thanks,
Davide

Avoid vintage-portfolio. He’s been banned from the forum multiple times for a reason.

The second one is vastly overpriced unfortunately, even for a dealer. If they charge a high amount I’d at least expect them to offer a properly serviced example, not a watch with an old, broken gasket.

Agreed about vintage-portfolio, you want to stay away from him. The second watch looks decent, but at least double what I'd consider paying.
