Any help with the Heuer Chrono?

I’m being offered this and I’m not knowledgeable about vintage Heuer, However, I love the look. Any comments on the dial? Refinished? Movement? Thanks!

What a cool piece. Looks as if the movement has been worked on a bit. Is the second hand (sweep) bent? And does it run?

Other than that it looks original. It would be absolutely worth restoring IMO.

Thank you for chiming in. I’ve asked the seller for better photos of the second hand. It may just be bent to offset the curve in the plexi as I have seen in many vintage pieces. Not sure.

As for the movement, it runs. How do you think it’s been worked on?

Thanks again !

I’ve decided to pass on this, the dial looks worked on. I also cannot for the life of me find another one exactly the same which leads me to believe that dial may be a figment of someone’s imagination.
