Do you think so? I'm not so sure.

There's plenty of guys here who know more than I about Heuers, but I didn't think that the Leonidas and Heuer names ever officially appearered together on dials despite their merger?

It may be genuine and original, but if I was thinking of bidding (& I'm not) my gut reaction would be - "old Leonidas with added Heuer logo".

As I say though, this may be perfectly genuine & I may be showing my ignorance!! :-)
