It sounds like you are looking for a quick and simple way to tell which is better. But do not be so desperate for an easy answer that you accept a bad or misleading solution to your problem.
When dealing with VINTAGE anything--especially mechanical devices--you really cannot shortcut the process. You HAVE to evaluate the individual vintage pieces based on their current condition and recently measured performance.
There is little importance to how well a vintage watch was adjusted when it left the factory. That was 40 years ago! A lot will have happened to the watch in 40 years that will effect its current performance.
The number of jewels is also a red herring. The reason some older models are more desirable are for any of a number of attributes BESIDES the number of jewels.
