    I am stuck between two vintage omegas

    the two watches in question are:
    a 145.024 Jedi with a blue dial for $1060

    a Seamaster cal 321 with a gold case and white dial for $1800

    the Jedi is in really good condition, keeps perfect time.
    the Seamaster has a chrono issue. when you wind the watch, the chrono seconds hand moves with the seconds hand. the pushers don't do anything. the seller told me that its a minor adjustment and any watchmaker can do it. I don't know how much it would cost to fix this, is it worth the money?

    thanks in advance for your input!

    Funnily enough I would choose the Jedi

    It's a rare blue dial, and MUCH easier to care for.

    The 321 chrono has problems that only a proper service will cure. Most watchmakers, in my experience, will not be in a position to fix it, no matter what they say.

    The Jedi is a bargain, if you don't want it, I do

    If I have to choose one from the pics provided, I'm choosing the 861. Condition triumphs.

    +1 for the Jedi - very cool looking watch - have seen way better 321s for not much more $$$
