Tudor may be called a Poor Man's Rolex because it had a different movement and other components were made differently. These Heuers were made exactly as ones with Heuer on the dial so to me they are Heuers.

: I was reading the recent posts by Jeff Stein (and company) on 4.19
: regarding the TimeZone post "Poor Man's Heuer Myth
: Clarification". This basically stated Heuer did
: not manufacture watches for others (i.e. Zodiac, Clebar,
: Tradition/Sears) in their factories. (For reference both series
: of posts are below).

: I found this all quite interesting. As such, I thought I would
: write this post. Recently I acquired this Zodiac. Looking at it
: closely, I would find it very hard to believe (if not
: impossible) that Heuer did not manufacturer this watch for
: Zodiac in a Heuer factory. I am sure they would not allow their
: branded cases (along with model numbers) to be sold as a
: "component" to another watchmaker.

: Take into account identical hands, fluted pushers and dial, and the
: proof here is more than compelling. If the term "Poor
: Man's Heuer" refers to a watch assembled by Heuer for
: another manufacturer, then indeed this must be an example of a
: true "Poor Man's Heuer" in my humble opinion.

: As always, I do not claim to be an expert. I am a enthusiast. I
: post to support the belief that Heuer did if fact produce for
: others. I welcome any thoughts (for or against) you may have on
: the matter.
