Steve - he might "think" the case and movement are original but those signatures are not correct. Besides - a set of 45 minute gears and a 30 minute register are a BIG red flag.
Sorry you are not getting your Iw magazine in a reasonable time frame. You could probably send them an email which should be available in the magazine. Thanks for the nice comment. 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.
