It has no numbers between the lugs, but the dial and case are stated to be made by Heuer. It has been fitted with a Heuer movement and Heuer hands.
I share many of Bruce's thoughts and questions from his message yesterday. It is unclear to me: What does the absence of model or serial numbers tell us? Is that the "give-away" that they are not from the Heuer factory? Maybe they were never actually assembled by anyone, until a few weeks or months ago??
Thanks for any further information.

Here is another from Watchco (Australia) - - -
Though there are many questions, it seems almost certain that these watches, as such (cases with dials, movements, hands, etc.), were not produced or assembled by Heuer.
: hi amh
: the watchco Silverstone you have directed me to
: does have a genuine cal 11 movement fitted
: as you say. there should be a case reference
: between the lower lugs that should read 110
: 313 and a serial number between the upper
: lugs, but these are missing. the dial, case,
: hands and bracelet seem to all be correct
: apart from this one ommision. marcus at
: watchco has been the source of many of the
: nos Monreal and Autavia case and dial sets
: which are covered by other posts on this
: forum. perhaps this is one of those with a
: movement sourced or from the same casemakers
: consignment made as a prototype?
: whichever way, it would seem not to be a full
: production model.
: why not ask marcus where it comes from?
