Which of the two?

I'm in the market for a vintage DJ and found two local sellers. Both watches cost the same. Both are ref 16014 and both from 1982.

Watch 1 - 9.25/10 condition, 20 links, service card from 2013, runs to spec

Watch 2 - 8.75/10 condition, complete set (box/papers), plus service card from 2019. Runs to spec but date only changes over at about 3am.

I know which I would go for and it's not even close but I'd love more opinions.

I wasn't planning to upload pics. Cosmetically nothing out of the ordinary.

Watch 2 is a easy fix. Hands are set wrong
