Re: 18k Gold Heuer Diver?
In Response To: Re: 18k Gold Heuer Diver? ()

Hmmm. I'm not convinced

Heuer Leonidas inside the case back, Heuer on the dial and TAG Heuer on the movement? Heuer Leonidas was sold to Piaget/ Lemania in 1982 and then TAG bought from them in 1985.

What about the finishing of the Heuer logo on the caseback- compare to this photo below. There is no textured finish above behind the logo...and is the logo the right shape?

Bespoke hour markers, bespoke bezel...very unusual.

But, as you say...why go to all that effort to fake an 18K Diver?
