This is an OBVIOUS and UGLY Fake


key points are:

  • orange, yellow, red and white hands / needles . . . never seen a Heuer with so many colors

  • "Ebauche Suisse" at bottom of dial . . . never seen a Heuer with this mark

  • nasty looking mark / shield on the case-back . . . used on the Yemas (shown below), never on a Heuer


OK -- seller wants to challenge the Gallery of Fakes. Have a look and decide for yourself.

The following two images show the back of the fake Flygraf on the left and the genuine Yema on the right.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

: I see the seller on this auction has referred
: to what is probably the OTD fakes page, and
: still insists his Flygraf is real.

: I realize there is a Counterfeit forum, but the
: whole issue of these watches being real or
: not might be discussed in generalities here.
