I think this highlights the problem with EBay - and I've nothing against either of these people - but I personally would never spend more money on there than I could afford to lose.

In the end, I think that the situation has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction. It's a shame with E-Bay that this sort of error is bound to crop up. The vendor doesn't know the complete history of the watch, and even if he had removed the back (not advisable as they're a bugger to put back), then there's no difference in the two backs apparently visible. The only way that the purchaser knew there was a problem - he took it in for repairs, which he knew were needed to some extent.
