Is my Vintage Heuer Authentic? All questions here please

This 1938-1940 ish Heuer based on the serial number, case/font, and the lack of branding on the movement.
I think this is a re-dial or a non-catalog item. What's confusing is that everything seems right enough, you just don't see it in the years OnTheDash has for catalogs, nor to you see any like it out there. The dial seems to have the right patina, fonts / logo details are correct, movement has the right details relative to the serial number, etc. The only thing I saw was the way the paint bleeds a bit on the dial when you look under a microscope.... but I haven't seen any other similar dials under a scope.
Note: the phone camera distorted the shape...everything is round.

This one looks OK to me, but we can be much more certain if you will post photos showing the outside of the caseback, inside the caseback and the movement. Or send them to me by email -- onthedash@bellsouth.net.

Recently I got a Heuer reference 1059/33 (caseback) on an auction. Any idea if is a fake or original heuer and the reference?

Hello good people
New tinkerer here and first time poster (and sorry for any mispelling - English is not my native language)
Any help in following is much appreciated.
I wrote seller with an offer on a closed auction (starting bid ~€670/749US) with zero bids and seller accepted the offer from me ~€590/660US. Havn't picked it up or paid it yet.

First alarm went off with me when there were no bids but the seller had listed the sale for pickup only and no shipping, so maybe that explains the 0 bids...

Allegedly it should be a Valjoux 7733.
I can't find any similar online.

What are your thoughts? Is it a walk away?
Thank you in advance 🙏 😀

If you are looking for a Heuer, walk away as it isn't one! There are no genuine Heuer parts here from what I can see.
If you just like it for what it is and are happy with the price-go for it!

Hi Steve
Thanks for the feared confirmation. Does that include the movement?
Is it worth the price alone? Assumeing it's a genuine Valjoux?
Cheers.
