Fancy Dial; Long Second Hand . . . Lots to Admire Here

Yes, there is definitely a style that we see, regularly coming from the Ukraine. This one offers lots of style, with the decoration on the dial, and that's about as much second hand as we ever see on a Heuer!! So if you want a fancy design on the dial and an extra long second hand, and authenticity is not a concern, then this may be the one for you.

: See if you can top this one! Pretty elaborate and shameful layout
: for a fake using the Chinese Venus 175 movement with a
: "shaved" chrono bridge. A lot of fakes are starting to
: show up from the Ukraine. They are getting close in volume to
: the crap coming out of S. America. Does no good to report these
: on eBay, they would loose too much money. Before eBay blanked
: out winning bidders email addresses, I would send an email to
: the buyers of fakes from time to time. Incredibly, most of them
: didn't want to hear it so I gave up! Craig
