I am confused a little bit (what else is new one might add)

It seems to me the general consensus here is that its most likely a 'put together' watch , or 'Frankenwatch' as we (the collector community) calls these
Yet there doesnt seem to be a big outrage about this and the estimated price , which seems high to me for a Frankenwatch, is accepted as well

Coming from a different area (Vintage Breitling mostly) we really do 'frown' (politically stated) on these put together watches or even watches that are even slightly incorrect or smell incorrect

is this accepted as almost fact in the Heuer world , and is less emphasis put on originality and more on desirable dials than on the 'correctness' of the watch itself as a whole ?

trying to learn here
thanks

: Dear Jeff, dear OTDers,

: I believe it is no secret, that most of the very rare dial
: executions (2446cSN, 7763SN, Skippererra, 3646T...) are put
: together from the standard watch and a dial found somewhere
: else.

: Most likely it's the same with this 2446cSN. In addition to that we
: have some unexpected hands and bezel, that would better fit into
: a 2446C GMT and an Orvis. The little needles shouldn't be any
: problem.

: Anyhow, the dial is very rare and in nice condition, so this one
: deserves a strong price. The one who's going to buy it will have
: the pocket money to sort the other little issues...

: Is the 324550 the serial number??? If so, that would confuse me a
: little.

: Best,
: Manuel
