Totally agree with what you said, but its one hell of a deal anyway you look at it,

A slightly rough Jo Siffert Dial sold in Feb for $1400 (pictured below) the one in the original post seems to be mint so the purchase price of $2000 for a full watch is a bargain, I wouldn't mind a franken Jo Siffert made from original heuer parts (it won't be factory original but still a nice watch for that price)

eBay item number: 271400307789

: Here's my perspective, the buyer probably paid for the dial.
: Everything else, hands, bezel, case and movement not original to
: this dial variant. On the bright side if the buyer has one in
: pretty bad shape like the dial gone awry bad, swap it with the
: original parts and presto a spanking looking new first series
: Siffert back in its former glory...

: On the other hand if you're on a budget and did not care about its
: originality this would be an extremely great buy.

: Just some observation...
