Jeff,

Thanks for the link. I don't subscribe but I thought this was a really well thought out and well written article. I guess the only thought I disagreed with was the following paragraph...

Counterfeits are a “one-brand” problem. Outside of Rolex, fakes seem to be rare in the vintage chronograph world. Sure, “Frankens” exist and pieces come up that are just plain wrong, but I just don’t see a cottage industry sprouting up to create fake Wyler chronograph dials. Maybe I’m underestimating 3D printing technology or something, but I just think the offerings are too varied to create a good market for fakes.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the above. It seems to me that fake and franken Heuers are all over the place and very easy to make. Want ads for Heuer marked bridges can be seen on many forums.
