Could This Be a Coincidence? / For Peter / Comments ? ? ?

It has been a couple of years since I have added anything to the Gallery of Fakes. It is a tedious process (on a technical / work flow level), and it is endless. there is also the question of how worthwhile it is, to add another 50 or 150 watches to the dozens that are already shown. readers love the page, and learn a lot from it, but at some point, you have to say, "enuf is enuf". There are always more creative, satisfying projects to undertake.

Then this afternoon, I decided that the one shown below deserved a spot in the Gallery. Just when I completed the addition, I received a message from Peter, telling me that he had been sick for the last couple of days, and went to the Gallery to cheer himself up a little. [How strange is that, I ask you??]

So this one is in Peter's honour, with best wishes for a speedy recovery.

If this is a fake (which I have to believe it is), it is a stunner!! Love the dial and registers; love the crown guards. Again, a shame that Heuer didn;t make this one. Or could this one be that "rare prototype" that we would all covet?

Comments? Questions? Anyone else go to the Gallery when they are a little down and need some good cheer?

Jeff
