It doesn't read CWS but rather CM/S...

: OK, guys . . . Under the bezel, I see a Tachy
: scale and a Telemetry scale. On top of the
: rotating bezel, I see a Minutes scale. Can
: anyone suggest what the other scale on the
: rotating bezel might be?? It has marks for
: 15, 16, 18, 21, 24, 28, 33, 42, 55, etc.; it
: also has letters that look like
: "CWS", at the end of the scale.

Jeff,

That does NOT say CWS, it says CM/S As in CentiMetre's Per Pecond... Unfortunately it appears to be going in the wrong direction to be some sort of CentiMeter per Second Tachy or Tele.

: what in the "world" would this scale
: be for?? what do we think about authenticity
: of this watch?? They just keep showing up,
: but can they possibly be authentic?

I think the chances of this being an authentic Heuer is next to nill (gut feeling). The "optimist/pessimist" (depening upon your feelings about this design) will say that maybe there is a 5% chance Heuer made something like this. But if they did, why doesn't it, or something with this case, or bezel, or dial, show up in any catalog we have or have ever seen?

Seems odd for a "real" model doesn't it?

Chuck
