Can someone give me a check on this Tudor?

Hi guys, I'm new to this so these real and fake watches confuse the hell out of me. I found these Tudor oysterdates for a fairly cheap price. wasn't sure if they're real though. Could someone please give me some advices?

Those both appear to be authentic watches but the dials may have been resprayed.

Both are real, but the first one has a repainted dial, and the second one seems to have some corrosion on the case back. I wouldn't buy either one.

If the first one is real but have a repainted dial, why wouldn't you buy it? sorry, I'm really new to this. And the second one, the corrosion spotted on the case not the movement right?

A repainted dial devalues the watch, and the attraction of older watches is the originality.

The corrosion of the second one is on the back of the case, around the edge where you see the movement exposed. This can affect water/air/dirt resistance. If not now, then soon.
