Thanks! Now...
Thanks for your honest and knowledgeable input!
So - you are saying the parts were probably not even original Heuer parts - i.e. generics or aftermarket stamped with the Heuer logo down the line? Or are they themselves "genuine" Heuer parts but from various different period Heuers? I would love to find out how these individual parts started their lives.

Thanks again!

Thanks! Now...

Thank you for the detailed descriptions of the issues! Going back and examining I agree those are all strong pointers to the fact that the parts are not original and have been tampered with. It's all in the details and you are helping me get a better eye ...
