No Worries Carlo,
I have to say.. despite the mistake, your instinct is bang on, and for that you should celebrate.
I don't want to offend anyone who owns one of those, but they are VERY un-Heuer-like.
I'll be honest - I think it is an abomination of a watch, and if I didn't know any better, I too would call it odd/not right/something not 'right' with it.
When you consider some of the sublime designs that Heuer have made over the years, this one is a true 'outlier'.
Heuer seemed to have a couple of 'mad moments' and produced some proper nasty pieces.
Some people can't spot a franken or a fake for love or money, some rely on the tiny details to spot 'bad watches', some tend to have an overall feeling that something isn't right - I fall in that camp, and it seems you do too. It's a great instinct to have, and 'bad' watches can be flagged for further investigation.
Cherish your instinct!
Best
