Visible damage to the dial, and poor quality / placement of the printing on the dial, make me skeptical that this can be original / produced by (or for) Heuer.

I do appreciate your questioning the suggestion that this is fake, but it still does not look right to me.

: all the indexes?
: Nearly impossible in my humble opinion.

: Can't it be another "never seen before" execution? Should
