Two vintage LeCoultre chronos

[Arlen]

After finally acquiring a vintage Sub, I've been thirsting for a white dial chrono as a counterpart.

In my search on eBay and WatchRecon I saw these two beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre E335 "Master Mariner" chronos pop up.

1950 LeCoultre Master Mariner 3 Register Chronograph Wristwatch Val 72 Box Papers



Vintage LeCoultre Stainless Steel Chronograph Valjoux 72 Wristwatch 1960's




The amazing thing is that both come with original box and papers (the later and more expensive one even comes with the original purchase receipts)!

Do you know anything about this reference? Obviously the Valjoux 72 is legendary and was used in Daytonas, and LeCoultre is an elite brand, but I can't find much about this model.

Are the prices fair? Would one of these be a decent buy? Which would you go for?

Thanks!
Trevor

can just say one thing, I prefer on looks alone the first one from the 50's, it's a great brand but I don't know anything in vintage just what seems to look the best IMO
