Do you have a better picture of the one on the left?
Service history, if known? |

Dial on the left looks suspect, possibly redone. Crown does not look right.
I would prefer to see a better picture. I am sure others will chime in... |

Dial may be ok. Perhaps the crystal is making it look distorted.
Obviously, the mag bubble is huge...possibly aftermarket.. |

Tough to tell with just these photos, and there are so many other factors. Have you seen movement photos, for example? Any service history? However, just based on these photos, I think the one with the faded bezel insert is nicer. The other one looks as if it might have newer hands that don't match the dial. (Could just the the angle of the camera, though.) Good luck either way.

I like the one with the faded dial with a chunk of metal missing from the bezel because the hands & dial look original.
Good luck deciding... |
