I saw this on IG, and I thought it was a lovely looking watch - I even commented - but I think I said something like "I'd not seen this type before", as I was also a little sceptical about it, as I've never seen that type of dial.

Problem is with IG, is that it's not a platform to openly question a watch (and discuss it), without being 100% sure, otherwise it could openly become a cluster-f**k.
If wrong, I would look a dick, if right, the owner might feel uncomfortable. Also, I'm not so hot on the Heuer triple-cals, so did that thing of 'going with the crowd'.

Also, IG pics are relatively small, without a zoom option, so details are hard to investigate.

I'm glad that the owner got his money back - but you know what, I'm more sad that it wasn't genuine, because it is actually a beautiful watch!
