I need Omega advice

Hello everyone-

I am a long time vintage Omega collecter and was looking for advice on this website, since many of the people here sound experienced. First off, I have an Omega Seamaster DeVille quartz cal 1342 with a date, 10k yellow gold filled case, and a gold dial with 9 diamonds on it. I am fairly confidant that the diamonds are original factory stock, but in Omega's vintage catalougue there is no record of this watch (as with many other odd ones I own). Would anyone have a guess to what it is worth? As for as the condition goes it's a 9 out of 10. Any help would be appreciated.

I also have another uncommon Omega that needs an appraisal. It is a SS Seamaster that is completely digital, and has a cal. 1620 movement in it. Has a light and Chronograph and I've seen some Speedmasters with this caliber but never a Seamaster. If it helps I think these were meant for the Austrailian market, having bought this watch from Austrailia, and the websites of the Speedmaster being Austrailian. Once again any help would be more than welcome.

Last I have more of an opinon issue. I am considering to purchase a vintage Seamaster Diving watch. Should I get a Seamaster 120 with a blue face and dial, or a Seamaster 300 with black? I'm leaning toward the 120 since it being so uncommon, but perhaps one of you can change my mind.

Thanks, Spencer
