Heuer Logo on Movement is AWFUL
In Response To: Fake? ()


in my view, the nasty engraving of the "Heuer" logo, on the rotor, is the clincher that this one is fake.

this is the style of engraving / style of font (if you even call it a "font") that we see on lots of fakes coming from South America.
