:
: In a message posted above, EM asks for some
: details and information regarding the fakes.
: I am not as familiar with the Leonidas fakes
: as I am with the Heuer fakes, so here is one
: of the three fakes and some comments. Go to
: the OnTheDash Gallery of Fakes for
: additional photographs.
:
:
: Some elements that suggest fakery include the
: following:
: Heuer never used a dial marked "Incabloc
: Chronograph"
: Heuer never used these hands (squared tips)
: Heuer never used this case
: Heuer never used white needles on the white
: registers bezel insert is missing
: needles are mismatched
: The list goes on and on, and gets longer when
: you look at the movement.
: If you go through the old catalogs, and go
: through OnTheDash, and the chronograph
: doesn't match up with anything you see, you
: should be suspicious. When you notice that
: every element of the chronograph is
: "wrong", then you know you are
: looking at a fake.
: Thanks for the question / suggestion . . . it's
: good to keep some perspective on these fakes
: and how we acquire knowledge about them.
: Jeff
