That’s a very nice example! The case and bezel looks very crisp, the dial and the hands look great and it has what looks to be the original bracelet and clasp.

The second one with the folded link bracelet has a later clasp it appears. They are both in great shape, but if it were my money I’d want a different color dial than silver that those prices.

The first one is the cleanest example, a rare find in that condition. The 6609 has a replacement movement, the bracelet is later with an even later clasp and quite stretched out. That dial is amazing though and alpha hands are difficult to come by.

First example looks better to me.

Of the 1625's you linked, the first example is indeed the nicest. Price is in line with others I see on C24.

The 6609 is a much rarer watch and commands a healthy premium over a 1625. The one you linked has a couple issues but I'm most concerned about the dial. The minute hash marks on the edge seem inconsistent and the bottom of the dial should be signed "Swiss" and not "T Swiss T". The printing of "T Swiss T" is quite sloppy as well. The movement might actually be the correct movement. 6609's are based on the cal 1065 which are really cal 1030 with a date.

I'm really looking for a 1625 or 6609 at this time. I did find ione below, but not sure of originality/condition compared to price. I negotiated to $7500 usd.

Looks like a nice example to me, would be good to see the movement though.

got it. I’ll ask for a movement pic. If the movement is good, which watch do you think is best value for money? The first 1625 or this 6609? The 1625 I negotiated to $5000 usd for everything.

also, is the bracelet and clasp original?
