Damaged and Franken = Parts Watch

I'm not seeing much redeeming value in this one -- (a) the three main hands (two time of day plus the chronograph seconds) have been replaced, and (b) there is damage to the dial . . . and, yes, the red date wheel is not original to this watch. It's an early 1163 MH dial, and there is usually some value there, but with the damage and the surrounding "franken" parts, this one is for salvage / parts, IMHO.

: Hi there

: A user from another Forum posted this Autavia 1163 with questions about the red date.

: The hands looks strange too. I'm asking here with his permission as he wants to know more :)

: Very rare or very franken?
