Replacement movement?
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?

David,

Could the movement not have been replaced during a service??, as for the caseback...i see what you mean but can any type of finish be applied to gold??, just wondering.

Not saying its definately genuine but i'd be surprised if its a fake.

James.
