Thanks Jeff. I read about "fakes" a lot, when sometimes a watch just has the wrong hands, or maybe an unsigned crown. As someone posted here last week, Heuer kept things interesting by using all manner of parts on ocassions. I used to think that if a watch didn't appear on otd, then it must be fake, but as I've read more you come to see that it's sometimes very hard to be definitive about what is 100% genuine and what's not.
