Orange diver scrubs up well

This came to me in a bit of a mess - incorrect crown, chipped bezel, scratched glass, incorrect hour & min hands... I emptied out my drawers and found some spares.. sent off to James, who worked his magic. Thanks bud!! I treated it to a near mint bezel, and James took some donor hands from another 42mm Heuer diver, sanded and spray painted them gloss black, then relume. The bracelet I believe to be an original and elusive Heuer oyster. I suspect the endlinks have been replaced, as the undersides don't look familiar, but I've never seen another for comparison, so I don't know for sure. The dial has some scratches, but thankfully they haven't broken the paint and can't be seen on the wrist.

Anyway, it has scrubbed up well, and if you are wondering, it is accompanied by an unusual leaf I spotted whilst out walking the dog!
