And if it were genuine?

Jeff,

at a first glance i could agree with you.

But... giving a deep look i can't assume it's definitely not original:

The "Heuer" shield and the "Automatic Chronograph" printings are 100% genuine, no doubts.
So just the white registers should have been reprinted.

Again, who is the crazy guy that takes off all the steel indexes for reprinting just the registers,
leaving an outer track so damaged from water, and then fits again all the indexes?
Nearly impossible in my humble opinion.

Can't it be another "never seen before" execution? Should not be the first time!
