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

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. |

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

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
