Re: Is this really a Poor Man's Heuer?

Should have included a link:

: Hi all

: Not many posts here, but I've found the forum a wealth of
: information and have a question I'm hoping someone can help
: with! I'm watching a nice looking Titus chromo on ebay, very
: similar to a 60s Heuer Carrera. It has a Landeron movement. The
: seller says it is a 'Poor Man's Carrera' made by Heuer for
: Titus. Titus is not one of the brands I've seen in the various
: resources as 'Poor Man's Heuers' and I thought the Heuer watches
: from that period all used Valjoux movements but I'm no expert -
: did Heuer manufacture watches for Titus? The watch is currently
: at a low bid and I'm probably going to bid anyway, but just
: wondered if anyone could offer a bit more information than I
: currently have.

: Any help much appreciated!

: Cheers
: Steve
