The description was obviously wrong and maybe unknown to you, however you did the decent thing and sent photos of the front and back. If he knew what he was talking about when he bid he wouldnt have bothered. My guess is he wasnt sure, got the watch and took it to a repairer to be told the bad news.
If it were me i'd be saying "sorry you saw the description and the pictures, the pictures would have told you the discrepancy if there was one" He was happy to bid on the item based on the pictures and at the end of the day it works as described so i dont think he has a leg to stand on.
I bought a scanner radio off of ebay a few years back and the seller failed to send the manual, belt clip for the radio and 2 parts of an aerial and ebay said it wasnt materially different to how it was described. Based upon this experience id stand my ground if i were you. At the end of the day he will give you bad feedback but its not your fault

Receipt is menaingless as it doesnt match the watch. Not saying it is but it would be argued as being for another watch unless it has a serial number on it

Whatever you do dont give a partial refund as this indicates you are admitting fault.
