Sadly most watch companies are not experts in their past. People (usually sellers) often wave around proof of a franken watch that they have a service receipt or similar that somehow serves as proof of a watch being correct. I often hear of people sending their watch to Rolex and because it was serviced they think that means the watch is 100% original and correct. Sadly that just isn't the case at all, collectors remain the best judges of what is reality and what is not. I do think it would be a good idea for these big watch companies to employ a real expert (or at least seek advice) but at present this isn't the case.

As Jeff says the dial is original but does not belong with the other parts and it is not a genuine Heuer.

: watch is a fake -- case, hands and movement, definitely not made
: by Heuer. Dial might be authentic, but that's all.
