: Auto-Graph], seems to have made its way over to eBay --

: 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.
