Re: Another Fake Heuer on eBay.
: What I like best about this one is the 30 minute sub register on
: the dial but the movement has a set 45 minute sub register gears
: - ops! Also, there is something covered up on the lower part of
: the dial. Regarding the case, it's the same one I am using for
: my latest project (see
www.chronodeco.com ) and I am sure that
: Heuer never used this one. Craig

I sent a note to the gentleman selling this watch on e-bay. He replied and seems genuinely concerned that his watch is considered a fake. He claims the case and movement are original but that yes, the dial has been re-done. He says he would never knowingly sell a fake as he is concerned about his reputation. Just wanted to pass his comments on . . . .
By the way, I think Craig's Chronodeco 1968 watches are pretty awesome looking! Nice article on Craig and his latest editions in the current issue of IW magazine, too. This brings up a question I'd like to ask everyone; anyone experiencing problems getting their issues of IW in the mail? My last three issues have been weeks late, arriving 2-3 weeks after they are alledgedly mailed out by the printer. I love the magazine and Jeff is right, they are the best magazine source of articles on vintage watches but I'm getting awfully tired of seeing the magazine at Barnes & Noble 1-2 weeks before I get mine in the mail.
