I saw this Carrera, Ref 2456 (in 18 karat gold) when I visited the archives, in January 2013. The dial appears to have been refinished, and I believe that it has fluted pushers (which would clearly be replacements). The giveaway for the refinished dial is the messy logo, with all the geometry on the "Heuer" being incorrect.
It is unfortunate that Watchonista selected this sample to display so prominently, but I suspect that if we bring it to their attention, they will use a better sample, going forward.
