Original? I doubt it. The hands look new, or restored, because they don't match the dial, the pushers and crown also look new. And technically it's not an AOPA unless it says AOPA inside the wings. Dial is probably an older relume or replacement.

and no import code on the movement, clearly wrong.
on the angle closeup the lume looks fine, though ?
still, clearly a lot of work has been done on that one, asking price is ridiculous.
