    So along with my previous post from this pawn shop about the Klearback Seamaster, he also had a watch I might be interested in. I'm more interested in the Seamaster, but he also had a Connie that I liked in addition to the Seamaster.. possibly would buy both depending on the consensus of everyone here. Unfortunately he didn't want to take the case off the Connie at the time.
    Are either a "good" buy and how much should I pay for them?
    Either of these would be my first Omega and I don't want to rush into anything unless it's a smart buy.

    The Connie is polished - not dreadful but rounded all the same
    And a poor redial

    Any inside/ movement pics of the Seamaster? Tritium dial, but lume in hands looks like radium (or paint?).

    Connie case has been polished and it looks like there is some rubbing going on in the movement.

    I nearly posted - don't mix up your pictures
    After I re-read his OP
    It's the Seamaster movement.

    The tritium might react differently on the hands and dial, just a thought. The style of hands and everything else looks legit, in which case it's a good little watch and worth getting if you can get him below say $300. Might be worth waiting for others to post in case I have missed anything.

    The Seamaster looks fine, the aging of the hands/dial lume is consistent with several others I've seen. That dark-greenish colour is probably because of moisture ingress at some point. The movement looks fine.

    Taking in consideration that the same place tried convincing you that a Kleerback Seamaster DeVille was worth $10-15,000, I'd say that there is no way in Hell that this is going to be offered you at a reasonable price.

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the input. I'll see if I can get the Seamaster for <$275 otherwise I'll pass them both up and keep searching around!
