Re: A manifest
In Response To: A manifest *LINK* *PIC* ()

: With all these fakes going around and the
: imense interest which they rightfully
: generate in the Heuer community, my thoughts
: will be no great surprize to those who can
: read the sign of times.
:
: It is a must for every veteran Heuer collector
: to start collecting fake Heuers!

: Just take a look at the Gallery of fakes.
: Admire the variety, the creativity, the
: undeniable rarity...

: Dozens of unique pieces, oozing quality, are
: there for you to learn their stories, to
: explore their idiosyncrasies, to discover
: their little details, to be impressed by the
: craftsmanship of the anonymous Heuer seller
: who created something beautiful from what
: was just spare parts.

: Oh yes! A collection of fakes would be the
: obvious next step in any serious collectors'
: life. It would take you one step further,
: one step above all others. Just imagine: not
: only you will have a truly unique collection
: theme, but none would ever question the
: authenticity of your watches. Now take into
: account the relatively lower prices of some
: of these pieces and you know you have to
: start collecting Franken/fake Heuers!

: In a few years these models' prices will
: skyrocket. I bet that especialy the works of
: some very talented and productive
: Heuer-creators will achieve cult status and
: a passionate following among collectors.
: (these Heuer-creators would even take orders
: for custom Heuer watches, but hey would cost
: a fortune - think AHCI)
: Mark my words: in a couple years an
: "elvirab Carrera" or a
: "chileantiques Autavia" would cost
: two times the price of a "McQeen
: Monaco" or a "Shiffert
: Autavia".
Good post, but I have found even with a good fake evn with real Heuer parts it just is not the same feeling i get when i wear them.

I will try and post a fake 7750 I made with real parts, B ut still can not seem to post with out posting some where else 1st.
