Re: Another Fake from the Auctionata Crew

Hi Jeff,

For the story, Auctionata replied me a first email without any elements. Just to remember me that i have to pay for the object.
After insisting to have a model number, or the year where i can find the item on a Heuer catalog, i have now this reply:

"thank you for your email. The watch does not have a model number as it has has a neutral, unsigned watch case of stainless steel. You can find this information in the description which is also attached as a screenshot."

No Information !! and they are "experts" !
I bought a lot of watches all over the world, never seen that...

Sincerely

: This one does not have the honor of being a Franken (made from
: Heuer parts) . . . it is a pure fake; no recognizable elements
: made by Heuer.

: Auction listing --
: https://auctionata.com/en/o/194265/heuer-chronograph-switzerland-c-1978

: My advice -- refuse to pay for this fake, or return it if you have
: paid . . . ask them about their guarantee of authenticity!!

: Good luck getting this straight.

: Jeff
