I've never had a vintage watch but a couple of days ago I came across one that I couldn't get out of my head. I ordered it pretty fast, only to find out later that it's one of the most faked/frankestined watches out there. I am wondering how much of the one I ordered is authentic (dial, hands, case, crown, etc.). And if the parts are not authentic, if they have been swapped with parts from other Raketa watches or something else entirely.

For context: the seller already disclosed that the crystal has been replaced, and my own digging around tells me that the movement is slightly different than the original (Raketa 2609 HA instead of the original 2609 HP).
