They seem to suffer from the absence of a model name (Carrera, Autavia, etc.) and some collectors aren't fond of the design, but they are Heuers.

while it is difficult to comment on this authenticity of this specific watch, Heuer did produce these no-name / no-model watches in the early 1970's. Here is a page from a 1971/ 72 bruchure showing watches similar to the one offered on ebay.
: Hi,
: Very interesting topic.
: On one hand these watches seem to be of lower
: standards than your common Heuer (at least
: aesthetically). To be frank, to my eyes they
: look so err... ugly that my initial reaction
: is "this can't be a Heuer". And
: the non signed crown reinforces this
: feeling.
: On the other hand I have seen very similar
: (identical) watches in a couple Heuer
: catalogues. So unless the catalogues were...
: fake, they are true Heuers.
: Maybe they were (designed and) manufactured by
: Monin, a subcontractor of Heuer who was
: responsible for some other models bearing
: the Heuer logo.
