thanks for the additional information, and for your calm in the face of our uninformed accusation / questioning. Let me see what more I can learn about these Divers, and best of luck with the auction.

: Jeff/All

: I do not normally comment on the for sale
: discussions but since it was one of mine I
: will break the rule !!

: I bought this one a while ago from Europe from
: a dealer that I have bought a number of my
: collection, I too had not seen the diver in
: the flesh so was a bit perturbed.

: I have referenced the ones OTD and as shown in
: the pics Jeff posted and the bezel &
: insert match exactly and the hands are
: correct for this model.(You just cannot see
: the notches on this photo)

: The last step was the case which has the serial
: nos and case ref between the lugs, I then
: showed it to a recognised Heuer dealer in
: London who also confirmed that the case was
: correct and only ever used for the diver
: model. So I was convinced.

: The only thing I am worried about is that the
: pics when blown up OTD make it look a lot
: worse condition than it actually is. I am
: selling because my collection is growing and
: growing and when I compared to my GMT's and
: Viceroys I just knew it would be a 2nd
: choice wear for me.

: As a final point if anyone from OTD contacts me
: before & then decides to buy and is not
: 100% happy then they are free to retn the
: watch.

: As they say all publicity is good publicity
