None IMO. I'd wait for a 41 without issues.

Sorry guys
Has to be between these two .

Still can't decide which to get .
I have a large wrist and have owned both sizes in the past and think the 36mm actually wears better

36mm could be on the small side depending on ones size. I'd save more and get a PO.

I would go with the 41 mm and the scratched crystal. Not a fan of the 36 mm as I have a full size wrist at 7.5 inches.

On the full size
My OCD is: seeing that the bezel insert doesn't look aligned

Looks good, I’m trying to find one myself. Trying to hold out for a full set or one with a recent service.

Very nice, congrats! This is the one with the scratch? You should be able to get the crystal replaced for not too much money.

I've had several watches, including quartz Seamasters, that I've sold and then had to buy again because I missed them. It's a hard, and sometimes expensive lesson.

Hold the watch like this with the clasp closed and take another picture. Clasp should be centered when held level like this.

Friend of mine picked up an Asian market Seamaster on eBay a few years ago for $800, Automatic Chronometer. Not exactly sure what's up with it as far as the model and what not, but I know it doesn't have a wave dial. It required a service (through Swatch Group), but that watch turned out to be a bargain for him.

There are deals to be had...
