Crown & Caliber Heuer Autavia 1163 "Orange boy"-style watch

Hi guys,
Just came across this watch and wondered if this really is the kind of watch that Crown & Caliber wants to sell.
https://www.crownandcaliber.com/buy/heuer/heuer-autavia-1163-erp52973

Pushers, bezel, all the hands incorrect and dial repaint.
"Replacement parts are authentic"?? Really? That bezel insert as well?
"Dial is believed to have been refinished at some point in the past as “Swiss” logo above date window does not match other models."???
To me that dial looks like a complete fake.
No specific info on the reference, no serial number number,.....
I remember a dramatic result of that Heuer100 auction.
Not sure this will help to restore confidence.

This is really something I cannot understand.
Is this ignorance? Let's hope it is.

Best,
B
