Keep in mind many watchmakers will also swap parts to keep a watch running, and just use what is available rather then seeking out the exact correct replacement part. Not something I would do personally, but many don't see the problem with this. It's not necessarily a sign of a franken watch put together to mislead, just someone using a part that works that is not 100% correct - I would not condemn the whole watch because of something like this, and yes it can be fixed by installing the right parts.
