: Hi thanks for the help, i didnt pay much for it, and my dealer said
: he`d pay me back if it was not kosha so to speak.

: However, i would like to take advantage of your expertise and check
: a few things out-i have also mailed Heuer UK to see what they
: have to say.

: Ok, with my experience of fakes, you always find the model signed,
: and as much in the way of markings as possible, hence a `fake`
: for example if fake rolexes were offered with nothing but
: `rolex` on them, no signed movement, no model name etc they
: would be ignored immediately or fetch very little money, no? a
: typical datejust fake however, would cost you God knows maybe
: 400 euros if swiss, and may even be used to con some unfortunate
: collector or amateur.

: were Heuer worth faking at that time? let me know, I am an omega
: fan, this is my first tag.

: I have seen several identical for sale as real, one here in Italy
: for 1,300 euros, identical to mine, and another which i cannot
: confirm as being for sale is on a forum where a guy says his
: father, a well to do American, bought it brand new back in the
: day, from a Heuer shop, all original. However, he bought it
: abroad from what I remember. could it be an odd French or
: Italian model?

: I fear this model is real, and we are ignoring it........but i
: dearly value your opinions as you know a lot more than me about
: tags and probably about watches too!

: thanks again

: Zac
