Need help identifying if rep or gen

[rally4444]

Hey guys, I received this watch as a Christmas gift from my cousin. He is super into antiques and always has good "barn finds". He's had this for around 6 years now and I always tell him I want to buy it, so this year he just gave it to me. I haven't been able to find a single comparable model online and I was wondering if any of the pros can help me identify.

Thank you

anybody?

I'd say gen - just by the patina, the finish on the case, the quality of the dial, the movement - it all says gen. Impossible to imitate/replicate.

I've never seen a fake mouvement like this one, But I think it will need attention as it has water damage.
Nice find!

Wow.
Very nice.
Almost looks like......pre-Autavia Heuer ?

I'm curious, but just about the dial sub spacing (3&6 are not symmetrical) and the only part that's scratched up on the movement is the piece that is inscribed?
Would the dial spacing not be exact?

Again, just curious as I would wear that in a heartbeat!

IMHO It's frankem. Heuer bridge is not matching the rest of movement, has been aded from destroyed movement. Movement holder is modified-you can see gold fragments where was cutted to make place for screws.

curious that is yellow there, IMHO is possible that base material is brass (yellow) coated by nickel-chrome plating (white). In such case definitively franken.

IMHO Heuer never wrote about rubis and incabloc on the dial.

Welp, think I might need to sell this guys. Anybody have any clue what I should price it at? Gonna say it's a franken at best.
