"Albino" as Prototype or Put Together . . . Only a "Guess"

If a watchmaker paints the hands white and puts them on the watch during the day, on the instructions of the boss, then maybe we call it a "prototype"?

If the same watchmaker does the exact same thing that same evening evening, on his own time and on his own watch, then we call it a "put together"?

This is why I call it a "guess", as I have no idea at all whether the "Albino" was produced during the day or after hours!!

Let me suggest a "cool off" on this thread, then we consider whether we should begin a new one. I believe that some of the "after hours" watches are fantastic looking and would have been thrilled if Heuer had actually put them into production.
