: Thanks James, I admire the Eterna Kontikis but I don't know much
: about them so you're post was interesting.

: It is interesting to see a mil engraving on a known model used by
: the IDF which also doesn't look like it was made with a rotary
: tool.

: So maybe there are other styles of engraving. I have mainly studied
: IDF Autavias from the 70s and 80s, which have consistent
: engraving made with a rotary bit.

: With this new info, maybe the Autavia on eBay is valid, it's
: certainly more questionable for me than before. That's the great
: thing with Heuers we are always learning new things - and why I
: tried not to be too categorical in my first post, just to
: present the "contra" arguments.

: Any other views out there?

No worries Shaun, just thought it was worth mentioning but i may have read somewhere previously that those numbers were faked too, so hard to say whats genuine and whats not to be honest.

Best,

James.
