·Hello!
I am new to the watch world and fell in love with collecting watches after watching YouTube videos with my little brother from a YouTuber named Nico Leonard. I'm sure a lot of you guys have heard of the YouTuber Nico Leonard and I just finished watching one of his videos where he builds under a $1,000 watch collection. The first watch he brought up is a Tag Heuer 2000 Series, Ref. 999.713K and I fell in love with the design! Had I known about this watch much earlier I would've done my research (like I am doing now) to understand this watch as well as learning everything I can about this particular Tag Heuer as I would've purchased it over my Tissot PRX. I have bought the Tissot PRX (35mm Quartz) and I really love the watch however, had I waited about a year after I purchased the watch I could've saved up and purchased the 35mm Powermatic PRX instead of the quartz version.
What's appealing to me about the Tag Heuer 2000 Series is the case size as Nico states it's 34mm which is perfect for my wrist size! Another thing is that it's also a quartz movement so I don't need to worry about purchasing an automatic watch stand. I really need help in understanding how to tell the difference between real vs. fake Tag Heuer's specifically for the 2000 series that I want. I know since the Tag Heuer I want to buy is old I will have to look online so anyone who can help me will be greatly appreciated! I'm excited to start my first "watch hunt" if anyone even says that haha! Btw I do collect sneakers as well so I am not "unfamiliar" when it comes to hunting sought after/rare items. What sneakers have taught me is having patience pays off and it's not what you know or how much money you have; but it's really who you know that helps out tremendously! Again anyone who can help me understand the Tag Heuer 2000 Series as well as possibly even where to look to purchase an authentic one will be greatly appreciated.
