About 1675 root beer's
Hi,
This forum has been so helpful so far, it also made me go a bit deeper in this crazy and expensive hobby :) I am in a quest for a nice 1675 root beer, on strap. Can you let me know what you think about those two examples? The watch I'll buy will be on rotation with 2 other watches, so alsmost a daily beater :). The 2 examples below would trade both for about 22-23k€. Posting them in separate messages below. Many thanks, |

#1 looks sharper overall.

Thanks. Do you think the first one has replacement hands? Also, what do you think about the price? |

Both look very nice. The differences are marginal...
What year are they? I’m wondering if the thin font bezel insert on #1 is original? |

I prefer #2. It has fatter lugs and an original bezel insert while #1 has a service bezel insert and a couple thinner lugs.

- On the #2, tritium of the hands has a different colour than the hour markers. Is that something that happens, or they may be service hands? - Do you think $28k = 23k€ is an OK price? Thanks, 34 (1).png |
