Re: Chronograph 12-110 Ebauche Suisse

Stewart,

It might not be just a donor caseback that has been used, it could be the complete case.
Please have a look:


I had never seen a Valjoux 7765 powered Heuer housed in case like that... and I have had a few of those.

Have a great weekend!

: To me, it would suggest that a donor caseback has been used, and
: the original markings removed and a brush finish applied to
: disguise the originality of the caseback. Coupled with a old
: sticker placed ovcer the top, this is clearly an attempt to
: hoodwink the suspect originality of the caseback.
