Help, advice and opinions please. I am looking to buy a 70's LED watch and have come down to a choice of two.
The first is a LIP Roger Talon LED Square that has original case, papers, instructions etc. The second is an Omega TC1 in white rolled gold with box but nothing else. Both appear to be in very good condition.
What I need help with is; which watch is more collectable, desirable, valuable. I like the look of both, the Omega is a classic looking 70's LED whilst the LIP is a bit more of a design statement and also, to be honest, I had never even heard of LIP until I started looking. Both are cost the same so not a consideration.
So, what do you lot think? Any 70's advice out there please.

I was interested in an automatic LIP but decided it wasn't (in my eyes) worth the price. I do think they're nice. There does seem however to be a few remakes of the LIP watches if you want one at a reasonable price.

I have not bought from these guys.
