A very interesting piece, but my inclination is also to be doubtful. Most Heuers I have seen or heard about that were handed out to drivers had the driver's name and blood type on the caseback, as someone else mentioned. And I think (someone correct me if I am wrong) that they usually were gold carreras, not Kentuckys.
I think the most likely person it could have belonged to-if authentic- would be Carlos Reuteman, since he raced for Ferrari in the late 70s and was also Argentinian (which would explain the fact that this watch ended up in Argentina)

The Ferrari engraving is fairly crude, but this isnt that surprising. They didnt have laser etching yet in those days, and it's doubtful they would have done a chemically etched or stamped logo on 1 or 2 watches for the team.

I think since the price is based so much on the supposed provenance, the seller ought to have more proof of said provenance than his word.
