is this a fake/franken? *LINK*

Hi All,

I found this on Ebay and while it seems interesting according to the info I have gleemed from this site it would appear to be a fake or "franken" Leonidas/heuer. This site says the merger happened in the '60's but the watch claims to be from the 20's and appears to be a leonidas movement in a custom case with a heuer/leonidas face. I was interested in it but now that I am skeptical of its origins I am staying away.

What are your thoughts on this timepiece?
