I am still learning things about spotting fake dials after 30 years of self training and working with various mentors who have been around the block more times than I. I am a relative Heuer newbie having only caught the bug 3 or 4 years ago. Having said that this dial has all of the signs of being a reasonably good fairly modern fake. The lines are not sharp. It appears to be a recent refinish job. I would never buy this watch from a dealer or anybody. There is simply too much about it that is suspicious.

As regards the two recent "fake" discussions, TZ UK seems to be going the way of a certain former NAWCC chapter which was originally called the internet or online chapter. This chapter was thrown out of the NAWCC after it was found that the movers and shakers (one in particular) seemed more interested in commerce and pushing their/his own agenda than in the stated mission of the overall organization. They began to stifle the opinions of skeptics and doubters and actually engaged in some fairly corrupt practices. They now run an independent internet forum but they seem to lose a lot of members after after these members gain enough knowledge to make their own judgements.

Who knows,

Best,
