: The Carrera's a total fake. Wrong case, wrong pushers, wrong crown,
: wrong bezel (all 3 of them! 1/5th of a second, tachy AND MH?
: Heuer's not Breitling...), wrong hands (except maybe the 30 min
: register needle), wrong size... need I go on?

: For a dead giveaway, look at the third photo down when you enlarge
: them. See how sharp "Automatic Chronograph" and the
: numbers on the registers are? See in contrast how blurred
: "Heuer" and "Carrera" are?

: Not sure what the model was originally; and can't be bothered to
: find out, it's such a mess. Looking at the clumsy
: "Heuer" engraving on the movement base plate, I'd
: wager it wasn't a Heuer though.

: The Autavia we've seen quite a few of, including one in for service
: at the TAG Heuer museum. I've seen one in the metal too and
: though unusual, it's much more convincing than the Carrera - I
: plump for original as far as these go. They never made it to a
: catalogue, sure, but then neither did the yachting Carreras. It
: happens with Heuer.

: The Carrera is nothing but a desperate fake.
