two 1675 long e gmts what do you guys prefer?
 

option 1

option 2

Any better pics of the top one?

more images of first one

What do you believe may be wrong with the 2nd one’s date wheel? That “9” looks problematic.

does it look repainted? do you think the dial has been refinished too?

Option 1 is over polished (esp the right bottom) lug and has a replacement insert. It also has a spot on the date wheel which can be a sign of other problems.

Not sure what is going on in the photo with the date "9" but so long as its just the photo, #2 is a solid candidate.

is 17500 usd too much for the 2nd one?

I doubt there's anything 'going on' with the 9 - it's the cyclops.

Then it’s the “waviest” cyclops I’ve ever seen :chuckle:

Or an aftermarket crystal.

As you’re new - you may not know - TRF’ers aren’t the valuation kiosk.

Just worn and/or polished. Date wheel is fine.

For Head only? That seems insane to me.

As yes, I did forget about someone polishing the cyclops to remove a scratch [emoji106]

can't agree, Option 1 case looks nice, replacement insert? How can you say that for sure? I see the grubby date wheel but otherwise both are pretty OK in my book.. need much better pics of the dial though.

The first one has newer and/or relumed hands.

The 9 is distorted by the cyclops - from polishing and scratches on the cyclops. Nothing wrong with the date wheel based on the photo.

Agree - that was pointed out by another member, too. I was not considering that even though I have an old DJ with same issue :cheers:
