Refinished Chronomatic Dial Will Be Easy to Spot
In Response To: Re: Lets see who buys this :-) ()

Whoever buys this refinished Chronomatic dial can enjoy it for himself, but I doubt that we will have too much trouble spotting this dial, if anyone attempts to sell it as an original.

  • wrong markers
  • crazy looking "Heuer"
  • the "O"s are not round
  • date frame is missing
  • blue hash marks are wrong
and the list goes on and on and on.

Shown below are the refinished dial (above) and a couple of the original dials (below).

Good to have this one on the forum, so that future researchers will be aware.

: Original and refinished? Fake dial, fake indexes, missing date
: frame.... but the 'professional' wrote AUTAVIA with the 'flat V'
: hahaha
