Very cool.Last weekend I stopped at a flea market. I made about 6 or 7 rounds through the market; each time noticing a small, toy-looking diver watch on a table. On my last lap, I finally stopped and looked closely at it. It was a cheap looking ladies' diver on a plastic Speidel strap. The dial said 'Heuer,' so I was sure it was a fake. A little girl, about 4 or 5, was staffing the table with her mother. "Um, the watch is $3," she told me. I couldn't say no to her sales pitch so I forked over the cash and headed home.

When I got home, I did some research. As it turns out, I stumbled upon a genuine Heuer, known in collector circles as the "Bo Derek" because it is what she wore in the famous movie "10." (Picture edited so my account doesn't get nuked from orbit.)
