1930s Heuer /Real or fake?

Greetings gents,

This is my first post here. Fellow members on the Military Watch Resource forum (MWR) pointed me to this place, as I came across early Heuer chronographs which piqued my interest.

I didn't bid on them but thought they looked pretty good in many respects -- curious what experts think.

1/ I really liked this one but its case back is obviously fake (horrendously mis-spelt, etched with clearly modern technology). Also the early Valjoux movement looked correct but the markings on it looked suspicious.
I debated whether it was worth a go nonetheless, considering the dial, hands case and movement looked good.

This one also looked interesting, but again I chose to abstain (I must admit I was surprised it didn't go higher):

Thanks for your thoughts and best regards,

Sylvie
