First Rolex and I'm Nervous!

[whofeelitknowsit]

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I've been in love with the 1675 GMT for a long time, and I'm finally ready to pull the trigger. I'm partial to the two-tone 1675/3 (or /34?) with the black nipple dial.

There are a couple for sale on ebay that look (to me) to be authentic, but I'm wondering if some of the experts wouldn't mind chiming in.

First one is from a seller who has decent feedback on this forum (Ermitage Jewelers): http://www.ebay.com/itm/282198408077...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT



Second one is from a seller I can't seem to find anything about (EmpireTimeNYC): http://www.ebay.com/itm/201669818269...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT



Any major issues with either of these? Thanks in advance!

The second one has lost some of the E from Rolex. That would drive me nuts. The first one looks ok but the hands look rather white. Check and see if they glow as they may be luminova rather than tritium.

Can you tell a real Gmt jubilee band from a regular 62510h that is used on a datejust?

Pass on both... Did you check the for sale section of this forum?

For my own knowledge, can you tell me why you would pass on both? I want to make sure I know what to look for. Thanks.

The second has a damaged dial, and the first appears to have replacement hands (or something weird about the trit on the hands). It's not a super rare reference and these aren't "oh my gawd" examples. You're not missing out by looking further

I can't see the numbers in the pics, but I was assuming it's the wrong jubilee based on the clasp...
