It looks like a genuine Camaro case, but that's the only element of the watch that I am able to identify. The dial looks much older / from another era; unable to identify the hands; etc.

: Hi Wynonie.
: I'd have to agree, I don't think it's original either. Looks a bit
: like an old 347 or 407 dial, which were obviously not
: contemporary with the Camaro case. They quite categorically
: wouldn't have had a date window at that vintage either - the
: movements simply weren't around to do it and the Vj7734
: specifically came along more than 3 decades later.
: Of course, a window might have been punched in an older dial for
: that purpose - not clear from the photo, on the phone at least.
: The Heuer shield looks a bit off too, the upper right corner
: looks very rounded.
: Looks a bitsa watch, cobbled together from various Heuer and
: potentially non-Heuer parts, I'm afraid. Good luck to the guy in
: setting up shop though.
