A modded(Franken) Green HMT Kohinoor

So I saw a HMT green Kohinoor for sale on OLX and could see that it has been modded heavily even to be designated as a franken. I got it from a private seller. Here are some pictures and cons of modding improperly.


Modded portions 
Dial is not original. If you look carefully, the kohinoor font is different from the original one on the blue kohinoor I posted earlier.

The hands have been changed as well, but this is to my likes, though they are not lume.

The crown is projected 1.12mm from the case. I need to take it to a watch mechanic to have it fixed.

The back is having a exhibition case and the movement is indeed a HMT

The change was done by someone who didn't mod the frequency correctly. The watch is atleast 5 minutes faster per day. 

The straps are not original either.

But for 1600, this for me is still a watch that I would like. But if you are a fanatic, better to authenticate and buy a watch.
