Re: imitation casings
In Response To: imitation casings ()

Does any one know of similar shows/fairs in the U.K.? with the tunnel link close by I should include France Belgium etc.... What does the Cortina look like, any scans about.
Hi,

: Some days ago i read a contribution on price
: levels at a German auction in the Black
: Forest.
: Yesterday I visited Holland's number one used
: watch show.

: There were less Heuers on this show than I
: expected. I saw 5 Autavias. Prices ranged
: from USD 700,- -USD 900,-. I saw one Carrera
: for approx. USD 900,-, one NOS white Cortina
: with box for USD 1500,- , one mint Montreal
: for USD 1500,-. No Monacos or other types.

: Interesting detail: there was a standholder
: offering new cases for certain Heuers (
: Montreal,Carrera, Autavia) incl.
: dials.Quality was good. In talking to a
: Heuer expert I was told that they were
: copies from Poland.They also had casings for
: Omega, Zenith etc.also lots of crowns.
: Sorry, no Autavia bezels.

: Poland is no part of the European Community
: yet, but will be next year. I wouldn't be
: surprised when these casings will appear on
: Ebay soon ( there is no Ebay Poland as far
: as I know but it will come sooner or later).
: So when this happens, you know what to ask.

: Greetings from a sunny Holland.
