Re: What a waste indeed
In Response To: What a waste indeed ()

You're right Fabrizio about it being a damn waste. I make it 3 watches though; the 11063 case, the dial from a 2nd generation Siffert and the hands a 3rd generation Siffert, with a lighter shade of blue.

: This one has attracted attention and much ridicule also on the
: leading Italian Heuer fora.
: Now we see some very good parts of two valuable watches, a first
: generation cal.11 Siffert and a late 11063 case, all mixed up.
: So many precious parts, and in so good a shape, that would make
: happiness of anybody trying to bring proper (i.e. not this
: Frankentypes) vintage Autavias back to form.
: This seller is really a mixed bag: some very good items from time
: to time, some "unknown unkwnons" (to put it the Dick
: Cheney's way), some questionable booklets and catalogues that
: many of us consider reprints, and now this.
: By the way, they're also offering a nice Omega Speedmaster 176.0012
: (also known as 'Mark 4.5') at what is probably four times its
: market value.
: As long as they find people willing to buy overpriced but legit
: items OK, but the Frankens are really a shame, and worse for us
: a waste.

: Cheers,

: Fabrizio
