Seems our mind crossed: anyhow for if Heuer did all the work: hands and dial and whatsoever its still an original watch. I mean would this mean all Autavias with servcie hands are not original anymore....or any Omega which mess up watches much more: for instance when you giv them a Omega albatros 1611 they do exchange the ahnds to smaller hands, the crystal gets one with silve back print than whie, the moevemtn is exchaned and the omega printing differs, the dial is silver printed rather than white and and and....so for me still an original omega watch.
