Autavia 2446 Rindt

Hi all, I was lucky enough to purchase my Autavia 2446 a few years back before it became as popular as it is today (purchased off the bay)
However unfortunately with life changes (wedding and future house purchase) and its current popularity, I am looking at exploring the opportunity to sell this from my collection
So before I did, I just wanted to get everyones view and understand if all is correct with the piece

When I purchased it, it had incorrect pushers (rolex style pump pushers) and what I believe is an incorrect crown (seems like a larger and later Heuer crown)
I then had it fully serviced and sourced some original 2446 pushers. I did however leave the crown as found
Serial # 857xx is fully visible between the lugs and bezel looks good (apart from a few scratches from general wear and tear)
Dial looks clean and untouched as well, and from what I can see lume is all original
Case looks really good as well, appearing to have never been polished and lugs are sharp and crisp
The seconds hand won't reset exactly to zero however, it's slightly off as per the photo

So just wanted to get peoples view as to whether I was missing anything in regards to its originality? As I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Cheers,

Andy
