: Greetings, not a frequent poster here but a keen observer.

: Curious what you think of this Heuer chronograph triple date
: moonphase? Do those watches turn up frequently?

Franken examples of these watches turn up from time to time.

: I know nothing about these watches but would worry the dial looks
: almost too new to be trusted.
: Dial condition appears inconsistent with the patina on the day
: disks, I seem to recall Artesia CA has been identified as a
: hotbed of redials and frankens.

: The black print (including on "Heuer" logo) appears faded
: in place -- not quite inconsistent with the overall newness of
: the dial.

You may not know these watches but it sounds like you know how to look at watches in general. I agree with all of your suspicions about this dial. When there is money to be made by taking a generic watch and making it into a Heuer or some other valuable brand watch there will always be someone to do it.
