·Hi 😊 Hope you're all doing well.
After spending a bit (a lot 😇) of time browsing Chrono24 recently, I've been trying to get a feel for what to look for when comparing different vintage Omega listings.
I like the Seamaster 600 153.011 & found two, very similar listings (at least in my view). Similar pricing, the same model, etc.
Both are from well-respected professional sellers - so if we put aside things like authenticity - that might be questionable in some circumstances.
What are the things here that one would look for?

I hear about dial originality being important. But how do you really know?
The quality of polishing & avoiding over-polishing. Is less polishing & more scratches better?
The level of servicing done in the movement. Can something be "over-serviced"? With vintage watches is ever a case of: if it's not broken don't fix it?
If we take these two listings as examples ☝️ - what does a more trained-eye see here when comparing these - that someone like me does not?
