In Response To: Re: In my opinion, FAKE ()

I have been chasing vintage Heuer chronographs for around 10 years . . . multiply that by 10 to account for the most active collectors on this forum.

If we haven't seen a particular model or execution over this combined century of searching, then it is probably a fake. [Of course, the other explanation is that it is a rare model or even a prototype, but who would subscribe to that theory, especially with a watch that has all the telltales of being a fake -- wrong markings on movement; wrong movement; strange hands; etc.; etc.].
