Heuer Autavia Frankenwatch - What to do?

A few years back I bought a Heuer Autavia. My stepfather is a watch repairer so I asked him to service it and he got talking to a regular customer about it. He's now reported back that it's a bit of a Frankenwatch!

Apparently the watch is a mixture of:

Viceroy Dial
Viceroy Handset
Cal 12 Movement
1163 Case
Minute/Hour Bezel

Hopefully that all makes sense!

So I'm now in a position where I don't know what to do - I can try and find the right parts to make it a complete watch but which one? The other option is to look at selling complete or breaking for parts. What would be the potential values complete or split? Would I be better trying to sell on chronotrader or ebay etc?

THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY FOR SALE! I'm only after ideas as to what I should do and potential values.

Many thanks in advance.
