Thanks John. I think I am following the "rules" (thanks for listing keys), but for the watches where I find less information/images (simply due to them being less common, or at least less information shared on certain models) I start to get concerned what it should look like.
I'll keep searching around for examples of these and check the archives.

Hopefully I don't post here too quickly. I try to do so only after as much research as I can and then come and ask the experts!

The 2nd example just looks wacky to me. The first example I like - I'm trying to find a copper dial, but I don't know if the early hands came on a copper dial so I'm going to keep searching and see if I can find an example.

Thanks John and any else who has any info!

: Be very careful of any watch which would be much more valuable just
: because it says Heuer on the dial or movement. Be very careful
: to note the types of discrepancies you have pointed out by
: yourself. Be very careful to look at the Heuer logo on the
: dials. Be very careful to look at the movement plates which say
: Heuer. Notice any differences between the look of the movement
: plates from the standpoint of patina and finish to the other
: plates. Look at the way the dial logo is applied and what it
: looks like compared to the standards you can see here in the OTD
: archives. Look at the differences in case types in the OTD Heuer
: catalog archives. If a watch is different in any way be
: suspicious...It may be a legitimate variant but it probably
: isn't.

: Lots of Rolex people have been screwed when buying early Rolex
: chronos. Now it is Heuers. Where there is money to be made
: watchfakers will fake. When collectors get screwed some of them
: try to fob off their mistakes on other unsuspecting collectors.

: If it doesn't look right...If the price seems too good to be
: true....If the seller is from some of the more disreputable
: places in the world...don't be tempted. You seem to be going
: about your search in the right way.
