Anyone know if this is for a 285? I'm looking for a parts project

The rest of the watch is where the devil is, the problem, in my view, never was the movement (parts for Venus 178 are available in abundance).
For now a pusher:

A nice Electric dial: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Universal-Ge...318875?hash=item33cc9f389b:g:wIIAAOSwSypY8m9o

Is this watch a Franken or may be real ? The bezel look's new. No serial number or reference according to the seller ...
On another forum rather than Ebay; to follow the link you'll need a login for MWR,

On the plus side it appears to have the extra numbers on the back of the lug which hopefully could be authenticated by Cartier; there's some papers with it but the only legible page is the one from UG. The obvious minus is the price ($4.8k), the slightly scruffy dial and the replacement crown.
I believe that watch belongs to a member here and was at one point posted for sale here as well (but is also here http://chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/index.cgi?id=67220&md=read&page=1). There was some intense discussion about getting the link with Cartier authenticated in the FS ad (and perhaps that's why it's no longer listed here) but I'm not sure anything ever came of it.
