Hi Chaps,

First post here, and of course looking for help.

I bought a watch listed as a Vintage Heuer recently, mainly because I liked it, however I have my doubts as to if it is a Heuer model, a fake or a mix and match.

The dial has been restored, it's got signed dial, hands, case and 7733 movement, however I see no reference in the catalogues available.

The case I have seen on some other Heuers sold previously from different places in the world, but then in the Fakes gallery on OTD a similar case is shown and stated it was never used by Heuer, but then another picture of a Carrera in the Fakes gallery with exactly the same case mentions nothing except the hands being too small.
It's not a hugely desirable watch overall and has no model name on the dial to "add" value, so makes me wonder what this watch is.

The hands appear to be the right length, chrono hands are hands used by Heuer and numbers on chrono's not being horizontal was also something Heuer did. A lot of things match up and makes me wonder if this was a budget model made by Heuer or just a Frankenstein.

Cheers,
Daniel
