Yes -- It Was Authentic
In Response To: Ebay item #4933679271 - thoughts on authenticity ()


Yes -- this one appeared to be an authentic Orvis Solunagraph, made by Heuer for Orvis. Early version, with polished steel hands and minutes / hour bezel. Later version had the military style hands and tachy bezel.

Following are :

  • the one just listed on ebay (auction ended today)
  • another sample of the early version
  • a later version of the Solunagraph

The one just sold looked nice, with the original leather strap and the box significantly adding to the value.
