seamaster 2531.80

hi there. im new to this forum and im currently contemplating my first omega purchase. favourite at the moment is the 2531.80 and whilst researching online i seem to have come across two separate instruction manuals that appear to be availible with this watch. one is a red hard-back version with gold or silver lettering whilst the other is a colour picture cover of what looks like a watch and somesort of watchmaking tool. also on the back of some seamasters i have noticed an engraving of the omega symbol directly below the seamaster emblem which seems to be absent from others. can anyone clarify if these are indicators of age or authenticity? or exactly why they vary? finally the seamaster box should be the red leather bound one, right? sorry for the long post and thanks for your time,dan.
