Critical Notes: - This watch contains authentic Heuer components but they were not originally assembled together as a complete timepiece from the factory - The dial, case, hands, and movement may be from different Heuer models or production periods - While the individual parts are genuine, the overall configuration reduces collectibility and value compared to an all-original example - Buyers should be aware this is essentially a "parts watch" assembled from authentic but non-matching components
