    The first one has a nice case design, but the dial may have been refinished as I see some hour dots not aligned with the hour markers (could be due to low picture quality though), crown probably not original but does not look too out of place here. OK if the price is not too far from the gold value of the case, but if dial is original then its value would be much higher.

    The dial of the second one has some light ageing, but it's hard to judge due to the crazing on the crystal. Not sure if the case is solid gold or just gold filled, but if there is no brassing and dial is original then this one is good too if the price is right.

    The other two are not good due to the bad condition of the dials.

    Good luck with finding the right one.

    I'm not familiar with this model and the Omega Vintage database has not been working for me for several days, so here is my observation: The movement's serial number indicating its age around 1952-ish, not 1940s. The case has been polished a bit too much and rounded off the edges. Dial and hands are new replacements so you can see they still glow in the dark. The crown is not original Omega. This watch, if already serviced and runs well, would be good for wearing at the right price, but does not have much collectable value.

    All of these watches are either redials or if original, are in such poor condition I would not recommend even making an offer on them.

    Keep searching!

    Don't like any of them, especially the redial on the last one. If a gun were held to my head, I'd take this one:
