Mr Smith, I am not sure if you are joking of if this is a serious question.
Fake TAG Heuer watches are everywhere. Thousands always for sale on shady places like ebay.
I will refer you to some entertaining reading in this thread

unknown or near new with a greatly reduced price
Hi Jim
No it was a serious question, I am new to Tag Heuer and looking to purchase my first watch so I am just in the research stage at the moment, trying to learn as much as I can before making a purchase.
I do see a lot of watches on ebay for sale that are unknown or near new with a greatly reduced price under retail, so it is tempting but then the concern regarding if they are genuine or not.'
Thank you all for the help and information, I am enjoying reading the forum posts here and learning from you all.
When it comes to fake TAGs, the ones that are most often (convincingly) faked are the three-handers, quartz, and entry level pieces. So Formula Ones and Aquaracers, and to some extent the 3 hand Carreras. Chronographs are less faked because it is harder to get them spot on. There are still Carrera chrono fakes of course, but are a little easier to spot. I've yet to see an ultra-realistic and convincing Monaco fake (you can buy them but they are pretty obviously not genuine). The most convincing TAG fakes seem to be the 3 hand Aquaracers, and also the F1 series. If you go onto the TAG Heuer Facebook groups, they are awash with people selling fake models and they are very often the same specific models that you see a lot.
Agreed! Although someone posted a quartz Monaco chronograph that looked quite good. They said a friend was offering to sell to them. Some friend! I can't remember which forum I saw that, but it was either this one or WUS.
