I had seller protection, yes, not sure on the value though..
The item was also trackable via parcel force (international datapost option)

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the update.

Before I say this next part, I mean no disrespect nor do I intend to be rude, but..

I'm not willing to issue a refund i'm afraid

I say that because I advertised the watch as fairly as I could, given the information I had on it's condition, history and general information about the watch itself.
The information I obtained from the original reciepts and warranty, were that the watch hadn't had any parts replaced and I went on that information on good faith, including (Again) screenshots of all original documentation on the ebay advert (link to website with the photos)
I included several high res photos of the watch, including the back/case on the original Ebay auction so people could inspect (up close) the casing, dial and other parts including the bracelet. (link to website with the photos)
I expressly stated that the watch would more than likely need restoration work, or servicing and you agreed to that in an original question asked before the auction ended.
Of those questions asked, you agreed that various parts would probably need replacing, including the crystal and strap.

If you wish to raise a dispute with Paypal however, please do.

Best wishes,

Adam
