Another empty stomach warning: Heuer Le Mans
In Response To: Warning; only view on an empty stomach... ()

Another one that is not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs . . .

Love the very careful, highly detailed description of the dial:

    A very nice, preserved in good condition for it's age. However, it is not in perfect condition, i.e. it has some aging marks - it's surface is glossy the same way at all areas (therefore I pictured it in different lighting intensivity and different angles). The letter 'E' of the 'LE MANS' is somehow worn ('white-washed'). I do not know the history of that defect.
    Minutes and hours hands, by a desing, are partially covered with a glossy layer - there are aging marks visible as micro-breakages on that surface (it is pictured on the photos).
Oh yeah, and I forgot one little detail . . . it's a fake!!
