What about Frankenwatches? My concern is buying what looks like an original watch, but which has perhaps had a replacement bezel fitted or dial from another Milspec. It shouldn't really make a difference to the watch, I guess, provided all the parts are authentic, but I'd rather one that was wholly original.
When I've seen them occasionally for sale and enquired about originality, I'm usually advised that the watch was bought from an established collection or suchlike, but that doesn't always mean a great deal these days.

It all depends on the well known combinations of dials, hands, bezel and serial numbers.
It takes quite a long time to be sure... Best, Nicolas
