: Hello Jeff, Tim, Tony:

: I agree with you, the fishy 3647 on ebay has now 112 followers, and
: surely it will sell.
: Unfortunately the watch has been bought from parts, and most of
: them have never seen the Heuer factory.

: I criticized the movement: you can just perform a simple query on
: google images, typing "Heuer Valjoux 92"
: and you'll find out that the 3647 we are talking about has
: engravings made with very different typo from all the movements
: you see in the google results.

: Here is the comparison, first is the fake engraved and then the
: other two ebay watches that we are talking about in this
: thread.

:

:

: About hands:

: the typical central second hand of the 60s Heuer watches has a
: deltoid-shaped queue.
: Also, the little hands in the subregister are too long, they reach
: the border of the register while they should cover just a small
: part of the
: markers.

:

: About dial, it's not easy to see from pictures, but markers in the
: registers look too heavy while the Heuer shield is printed with
: a very thin line.
: Not the same look we are used to see. Incidentally, most of watches
: from same seller show dials with these features. Why?

: What i would like to transmit is that comparing just prices of
: watches has small sense, the first and main comparison has
: always to be about quality and genuinity.
: Only after that assumption we can say if a price justified or not.

: My compliments to the buyer of the carrera sold at 6400, it's
: genuine, beautiful, in need of anything but a crystal
: cleaning!
