Great job, thanks!

This boxes were produced by the same dealer who usually sells fake booklet as in pic.

: I bought a 3 Heuer Autavia Boxes from a seller on eBay who
: claimed they are NOS I won the auction, I than asked if he has
: any more, he said he only had two more so we agreed on a price.
: So I bought 1 on auction eBay and 2 on PayPal.

: After almost a week he listed another one on eBay, and since has
: sold 2 after my winning auction.

: So when the boxes arrived I had a feeling they didn't look right on
: first glance, having 8 years experience in the printing business
: I got my eye loupe and started to inspect the print, which
: turned out to be 4 color process printing (CMYK) instead of 2
: colors spot Red and Black which would have been the case on
: simple box like this from that period.

: The seller claims they are original and not fake, I doubt what he
: say, does anyone have a genuine box to compare it with

: If you have a genuine box could you inspect it and see if it is
: printed in spot colors or in process colors (CMYK)

: The other thing the paper on the fake one I got is coated while the
: original from pictures seems to be uncoated

: I have looked at pictures of existing pictures online and they seem
: to be 2 spot colors instead of 4 color process (CMYK)

: The original from pics I've seen online has crisp lines and no
: blurriness while the one I received its clearly scanned and
: reprinted lines are not crisp

: Seller claims he consulted a collector which verified they are
: genuine, I know printing as mentioned I have 8 years experience
: and I can spot these flaws.
