In Response To: Re: Good to know ()

What made me suspicious and got me to his or his friend account was auction below.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BREITLING-DATORA-ref-785-Vintage-Chronograph-Triple-Date-Valjoux-730-Papers-Tag-/181058793824?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2a27f1f160

He recently was selling it on his account.

Its either chronoaddict and gravek are same person or its two guys doing the dirty businesses.

If you look through the stuff Gravek sells and his feedback History then You will see Poor Man Heuer parts bought and sold.

That made me very suspicious.

If you go back to chronoaddict then You can see cases from Zodiac Yema Clebar and so on.

Please blow up the pictures and go to Master Reference Table. There are wrong movements in wrong cases, really bad engraving in some of his watches, restored dials and so on.

I do know enough about Heuer to tell that straight away.

Will post some more info soon.

I will wait for senior experts also.

Cheers

: The other chronographs looks genune and correct to me. I have

: But I know there have been some problems with this seller.

: Most of the watches you list is correct, but overpriced.
