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

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

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.

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.

is 17500 usd too much for the 2nd one?

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

For Head only? That seems insane to me.

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

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

Or an aftermarket crystal.

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

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