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

Hi Paul
Hi Steward,

Thx for your replies!
I did bought this watch but it's already on its way back to the original owner.
As I clean up my watches and sell them I only want the best.

I was quiet sure that the dial was ok. I think the hands are aftermarket
The case looks wrong to me, not only because of the edges at the crownguard, but also the finish looked odd, I think the case was chromed and not polished ss...never seen a fake oversized case before though...

You think the movement was ok? Shouldn't there be an Heuer logo on it?

Best regards
sanne
