The original intention of my post about my unhappy purchase was to get some advice from other more experienced buyers/sellers.
I didn't name the seller as I hope we still may be able to resolve the situation.
Jeff you have an incredible site which has ignited an interest in Heure watches as a hobby and will be an invaluable aid in identifying watches and learning more about them. So I'm sorry to have caused any negativity but I am very grateful for all the advice and will keep you informed of any progress. I have made may different purchases on ebay and only once had a problem and then the seller refunded me no questions asked. I quess with the forum I was just unlucky,on the whole I believe people are honest.
