Re: Humor Me, Just for a Minute or Two . . .

Hi all,
Interesting discussion about these fake, re-issue and other dials. Where does quality ends and where do we accept a lower finishing as ok? I don't want to judge a company, but anyway the quality of the Heuer dials varies. This just means that the acceptance process wasn't a fixed process, but the (no) go decision was made/based on a personal feeling.
It'possible that the dials as seen in the examples of Jeff are slip offs, used while servicing or replacing an old sticky dial. On what do I base my opinion :
- no large quantities are known
- variety in dials - different service points ?
- cases are often original
- these dials are often seen while using service hands
Best regards from Belgium,

Gianni
