: I need a spot of help finding out whether or not my vintage Heuer
: chronograph is a fake. I bought this watch 18 months ago from a
: reputable jeweller and had not initial concerns as to the
: provenance. It was sold a 1960 chronograph with a refurbished a
: dial. After a minor repair, its authenticity was called into
: question and I'd like to know if my graduation present is indeed
: a fake.

Well...I don't know how learned I am but I would question whether any part of your watch ever visited the Heuer factory. I can't see the movement very well in your photos and these movements were certainly used in '60s Heuers but the marking appears questionable. None of the rest of the watch looks at all Heuer to me. Sorry about that. These seem to be a plague on the world these days.
