1st execution 2446 autavia

Folks

I have a question ...

I recently showed some interest in a Heuer Autavia 2446 described as having a first exec case. On requesting further information and clarification, I was not convinced it was a first execution as the inside of case back and v72 movement seemed to be signed "heuer leonidas" and not "ed heuer" as I would have expected.

Just wondering if i missed something and my knowledge is pretty lousy in that that early cases can have different markings ... Gut feeling says no but I would appreciate a definite statement from the experts.

thanx in advance.
