Can I ask the forum's expert guidance? I met a new vintage watch dealer who has just opened the first such store in Dubai - a charming guy and I hope he has lots of success. He had two Heuers - a 1940s Chrono with a (as he told me) refinished dial and this one.

Looks to me like a franken in a Camaro case - but what is the expert view? He was disappointed when I raised my concerns and stressed that he wants to be honest and open, so I hope I am wrong. Crown was signed, hands look all wrong and is the face a fake or from an older watch? He says the movement is signed Heuer Leonidas 7734.

Any expert input greatfully received and will be passed on to the dealer. Thanks All.
