1675pepsi Purchase Questions

It's a only watch and an unpolishing product. It's the all original parts, and it looks like a bubble on the 9 o'clock dial.
The price is 12,000 dollars. May I buy it?

It seems totally original, look at the serial numbers and you can find out the year, the price is right.

It looks like an MK1, all original

Is the price cheaper? Or is it appropriate?

Is the 9 o'clock bubble going down the value?

get a photo of the caseback stamping on the inside ... and does the date wheel have closed 6 & 9 numbers?

Yes the 9 o'clock bubble is going to reduce the value. Is that the only blemish? Use a loupe.

Enjoy the watch and don't worry about the date wheel. Whether right or wrong, it's nothing to worry about or that crystal which is not 2 1/2 magnification (could have an overly polished date bubble affecting the magnification.)

Yes, that's the only flaw.
I'm thinking about whether to buy it for 12k or add some more to it and buy a better product.
