nice work David, and thanks for this posting.

you know, I get lots of e-mail thanking me for publishing the Gallery of Fakes, but it is difficult to even attempt to keep up with the flow of the fakes. I could easily spend 30 minutes or an hour per day, updating the Gallery of Fakes. But that wouldn't leave me much time for the fun stuff / the more enjoyable, creative stuff.

so I am resolved to playing with the Gallery of Fakes only when I have some spare time (??) and when the spirit moves me, and lately that has not been very often. There's just too much great stuff happening in the world of vintage Heuers to spend all our time chasing and documenting the fakes.

so it is all the more valuable when you post messages like this one.

. . . it takes a village!!

Jeff
