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

The case does look strange. It's hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like black PVD on brass, which would be wrong. The 'cuts' in the crown recess are wrong. The minute hand looks wrong, the seconts hand looks white, which would be wrong. I'm pretty sure that there was never an 844 model that had 1000 on the dial. The crown is wrong too.

Cheers

: Strange case? Ever seen a case like that? Is it legit?

: Thx
