Glad you put JWA and not Ford in the title. At the end of 67 Ford was out. John Wyer & John Willment took over Ford Advance Vehicles (mid/late 66 when Ford decided to build the J car in the US). With FAV they got rights to build the GT40s. FIA banned the 427 so JWA built what was basically an aluminum tub MKI and equipped it with a 302 sporting Gurney Westlake heads (I guess you could say Gurney won it 68 & 69 too). P1075 won LeMans twice the only GT40 to do it. P1074 - Mirage M1 - would have been more competitive with it's sleeker roofline but it had been destroyed in 67 at Nurburgring some of it's parts were used to build P1075. For 68 the cars got their original roofs back - but I do prefer the JWA roofline as a natural progression. The handwriting was on the wall the car even though much lighter and more reliable was no longer competitive. JWA took their Gulf Oil money and bought a Porsche.

John Wyer was a bit of a genius to say the least was he not?  I particularly am enamored with the 69 design of the Ford GT over the others.  And the Gulf livery is so choice.  I still lust for a Tag Heuer Monaco with the Gulf livery on its face.

You want the older one with the stem on the left (correct side). They are 5,500-6,000. A new one will set you back 8 grand and it doesn't have the early type internals. I also like the blue strap and orange stitching on the early watch.

The first one you linked is the most desirable I believe out of the other two.  I would only get used but it will have to wait.  That kind of money is going toward my father's 65 to move her into R model territory.  But is is a sweet time piece.
