I am sorry to say i dont think the bracelet is original.
The HLC endlinks are correct for a 70's Carrera , the GF scissor hinge with locking bar & Heuer marked look correct HOWEVER all the beads of rice & outer flat links do not look Gay Freres to me.
I think someone has replaced the beads section to a tired bracelet.

You are also correct to speculate that its very hard & quite expensive to find HLF Autavia endlinks.
Sorry to inform you that you have a franken bracelet.
Good luck - Darren
