Mike,

The article was great and this was a small bone to pick. We all know that as soon as it becomes profitable to fake...faking will be done. There are also many degrees of faking from making frankens out of parts to re-engraving/new engraving of cases and bridges to fake dials. Heuers are being slapped together by a lot of unscrupulous "dealers" every day. I will agree that the fake Rolex market is more sophisticated but I remember almost getting burned with a pre-Daytona Rolex chrono years ago when the watch was worth only 6 grand in great original condition. The fact that the faking is more sophisticated now is only due the increased potential profit.

Please keep up the good work.
