1675 Opinions needed

Found 2 here but I don't know enough to be able to recognise service dials and things. What do you all think?

Thank you

First one has replaced/service: hands(maybe they are a close match), bezel, bracelet, end links, dial... It looks like it comes with the original bezel in the package but its still too much $$$

Among other things, the second one has been polished too much for my taste which is a deal breaker imho...

What is important to you? An all original, correct piece will likely cost you about the price of the first one w/o any paperwork. The second is probably priced OK for what it is.

Get off ebay and use the sales forum here. Im sure youre going to get PMs as well.

Echo that but here in the UK good ones are so hard to find!

I'd like something that is period correct and not over polished. They are tough to find in the U.K. though.
