Good day all.

I'm considering purchasing this Mk2 1675. I noticed the GMT hand Red line doesn't completely reach the arrow head.

Also the bottom right hand corner lug seem to be quite thin....

Is that normal? Seller based this to be a one owner watch.

He didn't advertise it as unpolished though.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi,

Not sure about the GMT hand, you might have to look at other 1675 and compare.

Case was polished, this is certain, lugs are a bit thinner indeed. Most of those tool watches are polished. Buying an unpolished one would have an impact on the purchase price

Hello Frederic.

Thanks for that. Some GMT hands are like that. Some aren't.

After looking through I think its okay and normal.

thanks though 😀

@sdre
See how that spring bar is peaking out at the bottom right?

Agreed with above - Those lugs look pretty damn skinny

In general, I would want better pics of the lugs from an angle view. Also, one mistake people make most often is fitting the wrong spring bar which then extrudes from the lug hole. In this particular case, you can clearly see the spring bar extruding from the bottom right lug which would suggest thin lugs.
