YEP -- sorry to report that it is a FrankenHeuer, and worth only about $50. But because you are such a nice guy, I'll offer you $75 (if you pay the postage). Just kidding, of course.
I get tangled up with all the labels:
- frankenheuer
- fake
- put-together
- reproduction
- restoration
- recreation
- reenactment
- refinished
- interpretation
- continuation
Let's just say that if you are honest about what it is, and what it isn't, the Heuer world will be a better place for the great work that you have done on this watch. It looks fantastic!!

: Gentlemen,
: I would like your opinion. In May I acquired a
: 1940's vintage, Heuer two-register
: chronograph. The dial that was on the watch
: was old and had been re-finished. Although,
: the quality of the workmanship was good, the
: dial was ugly. Subsequently, I acquired a
: factory original dial and replaced the ugly
: one. Does that constitute a frankenwatch ?
