Re: Real Autavia?
In Response To: Re: Real Autavia? ()

: I don't claim to know Heuers as well as most on this forum, but
: every Primero this seller has posted in the last several months
: has been a franken. For what it's worth.

I hate to cast aspersions, but Lou is right about the seller. A month or so ago, I pointed out switched cases/movements between a Sinn 143 and something resembling an Orfina PD. He switched them out and then put the Sinn-ish piece back on eBay for over $2k. I've regretted enabling the seller since then.

The parts seem to be authentic, but that is all. A grand caveat emptor with the seller.
