Re: Heuer 844 fake or real second attempt with pics :-)

Hi - after two previous attempts to reply to your post, this is my last try (neither appear on the forum). In summary, case has been modified to take an incorrect crown, movement looks fine except for missing holding down screw and dial looks fine. Lume on dial and hands and the second hand look white - maybe the lighting but it is strange. If you are looking to buy this watch I would suggest getting more pictures and a BIG discount for the modified crown guard. Finally, Heuer made these 42mm automatic divers in large numbers and we find quite a number of dial variations so 1000 below the Heuer shield is yet another, probably mid 1980's and probably has an engraved back case.
Hope that helps
regards
Paul
