: Poor quality piece, in a version that we have never seen

: distinguish precisely between a "fake" and a nasty

: The made-up AQ description probably transforms an awful refinishing

I guess I am just being semantically picky. The watch appears to be made of all Heuer parts at least one of which has be refinished. I think calling it a fake stretches the definition into something that makes the term much less useful.

What ever it is, I will certainly agree that along with the description the whole thing is "Garbage". The dial is truly ugly.
