I just got the 1973 Seamaster today so doing an in depth comparison would be a bit hard. The first thing I noticed is just the sizes of the watches. The '73 model is a 38mm and the '15 is 41mm. Both are Automatic movements but the exact movement of the '73 I'm unsure of at this moment. The '73 seems to fit my wrist a bit better and it's at least two or three millimeters thinner than the '15. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
