Pawn Shop Find Vintage Tudor Sub for $2k -- What's all wrong with this thing?

Found a very peculiar old Tudor Sub at a sketchy pawn shop. It's a mishmash of some original vintage Tudor and some not so original aftermarket parts. They told me they bought it thinking it was real and got burned, so they're trying to get out from under it hence the asking price.

I'd like to get more experienced eyes on this thing just to see what all is wrong with it. I know the dial is trash, the bracelet is trash (clasp highly questionable), and the bezel is aftermarket. The movement looks right though, as does case/crown/crystal. Hands are questionable.

Please chime in, I'd like to see if I missed anything obvious when looking at this particular example.

I'm not interested in buying it so much as I am curious about what has all been changed. It's not everyday you just find a vintage Tudor in the pawn shop, thought it would be fun to examine it and learn some things as I'm no vintage Tudor expert.
