Counterfeit Watchers Discussion Forum

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches -- including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces. Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization, repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.

Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.

heuer

i have a yacht timer that i think is a heuer. i can't find a picture of it on the web. it says heuer and yacht timer on the face. it also says on the bottom of the face " made in switzerland". one difference i can see between mine and the others on the web, is that the numbers run backwards from 55 to 5 clockwise.the movement is also clockwise. it has one knob, the hands are red, there are two of them. the center of the face is divided into 5 different colored sections, numbered backwards from 4 to 0. the four has a yellow backround, 3 green, 2 pink, 1 blue and 0 white. there are no markings, serial numbers or model numbers on the back as far as i can see. i do not have a website to post a photo, but if it will help i can e-mail a photo to anyone that can give me any information about it or identify it as either real or a fake thank you very much. steve miner to contact me directly my e-mail is minertribe@comcast.net
