Re: Nasty Looking Refinish / "Carrera" Written Over "Monaco"
In Response To: Nasty Looking Refinish / "Carrera" Written Over "Monaco" ? ? ()

Good job spotting that one Jeff - I did not see it at first glance. They should all get a good Hong Kong "caning" for that one! Craig

: Yes, the hands are wrong, and this refinished dial should not
: have been too difficult for the folks at Antiquorum to detect .
: . . the "Carrera" has been written over some other
: word. Unbelievable as it may seem, could the refinisher first
: have made this dial into a "Monaco", and then realized
: that it was more likely to pass as a "Carrera"?

: Let me report this to my best contact at Antiquorum, and we'll see
: where it ends up.
