That is interesting. The dial sold on ebay for quite a tidy sum ...

: John,
: It's the same story the world over.. and it's down to us watch
: geeks to try to figure it out.
: Funnily enough, unless there is bone-fide proof of a watches
: originality, then most watches histories are unknown. Who's to
: say that a dial wasn't replaced by Heuer in the 70's while at
: service, or had hands replaced etc etc. Or if you got all the
: correct parts for a 1163 Orange 'Orange boy' and put it together
: - then who could tell - no-one.

: I guess it's why communities like OTD etc are so important, and
: it's about trust. There are many people on here that I would buy
: a watch from unseen - yet I've been offered great watches in the
: past from 'unknowns' and I've turned them down. Buy the seller,
: as they say.
