    The eBay one looks horrible.

    The Etsy one looks like a nice example of a restored vintage Heuer 11630. I had one like that, with the very faded yellow (instead of orange) hands and dial markers. A friend has one just the same.

    The Etsy one looks great yes, but at under £2k too good to be true surely.

    The Etsy one looks to be extremely cheap.

    Agreed, one hilariously bad, the other rather good, albeit with a rather "re-created" bracelet

    Is the insert correct on the Etsy one ? Shouldn’t it have serifs ?

    The eBay one looks to be a re-edition TH Monza case that’s been polished, with an aftermarket Heuer-branded dial. The lower text is incorrect and the ‘Heuer Autavia’ logo is the wrong size. There’s a French seller on eBay who sells them.

    The Etsy one looks like a genuine 11630 though the price suggests it’s a scammer.

    Edit: just seen the photo of the caseback on the eBay one. Perhaps it’s a fake Monza case, certainly hasn’t got the genuine caseback
