As Stewart brought to our attention in his posting -- http://www.chronocentric.com/forums/heuer/index.cgi?page=1;md=read;id=63845 -- there is a debate raging on the TZ-UK discussion forum, regarding the authenticity of a Baylor watch like the one shown below. Here's a link to the thread -- http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?273357-Funny-how-fashions-change

This watch had been acquired by the gentleman who owns and operates the forum, and he and several others are defending the authenticity of the watch, against some skepticism from Stewart and from me.

To make a long story short:

• Jack Heuer confirmed to me, by e-mail (a) that Heuer ceased producing the private-label Baylor watches, in either 1958 or 1959, and (b) that he had no recollection of this particular model of watch.
• I posted this information, along with my suggestion that the watch was not made by Heuer, as it was produced well after 1959. Within minutes I was blocked from viewing any of the TZ-UK forums and banned from posting any messages.
• Soon after that, I received an additional confirmation, from our best expert here in the US of A (who was with Heuer from 1962 to 2002), that this watch is a fake.
• Of course, the operator of the forum and his buddies continue to post messages claiming that the watch is real, and challenging my information, while blocking me from even viewing it. [How many times will we hear the suggestion, "They can't prove that it's a fake."]
