Re: What Is It? [Strange One Offered on EBay]

Jeff, once again you are absolutely correct, it is a fake, we need to stop these lurkers
As always thanks for helping us all
Martin

: here is an "interesting" one now offered on ebay, item
: number 330346844606.

:

:

: You will notice that it looks very similar to the super rare
: Abercrombie & Fitch Autograph, shown below, except that (a)
: the paint and fonts on the dial are much simpler / more crude,
: (b) the ebay watch is not an Autograph and is missing the
: Autograph's distinctive third main hand, and (c) the hands are
: too long.

: So what is the ebay chrono? My best guess: marriage of refinished
: Autograph dial (upgraded to become a "Heuer" dial) and
: Valjoux 72 movement (from a Heuer chronograph).

: Have any other readers ever seen such a Heuer? Any better
: explanations of what this ebay offering might be?

: Jeff
