Pass the Trash / Refinished Heuer in Auto-Graph Style

The chronograph that we discussed on this forum around 10 days ago [refinished dial, inspired by the Abercrombie & Fitch Auto-Graph], seems to have made its way over to eBay --

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Chronograph-Heuer-Pre-Carrera-Valjoux-72-Rare-/160542250665?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item25611056a9

Seller tells us from whom he bought the watch -- Sound of Time -- and also assures us that the dial had been "expertly restored to its original specifications". What a shame . . . seller seems to believe that he has a genuine Heuer watch, refinished in its correct style, when --in fact -- he bought a fake some 15 months ago.

Let the buyer beware; let the potential buyers do their research before making the purchases.
