I've just bought this shiny 1816 and I'm comparing it with my 1817 'dirty' one. In your opinions, which has the greater eye appeal?

The other one looks cleaned.

The one has been cleaned and a bad job at that, note the crud left inside the letters, check microscopically for cleaning marks, bet you'll find some. I hear the value swirling down the bowl...

Your 1817 has the 'RRITT' flaw too, so even better.

The 1817 is far more attractive, nice original surfaces.
