Yes. Fascinating that they can produce such "good" copies but are so stupid to miss details like the clasp

this is quite common with a lot of very very accurate fakes. in the rolex world the first place one looks at when handling a used modern watch for sale is the bracelet. however the fakers seem to usually have the tag, omega and breitling bracelets copied pretty good.

Hi everyone - just wanted to forewarn anyone shopping on Ebay for used Tag Heuers. There was at least one seller (from the UK) that has flooded the market with very good fake Tag Heuers. Of course he is long gone, but he sold many fakes and I am sure they will get resold by others. He continued to get good feedback because his fakes were so good. I am a long time buyers/collector of used Tags and even I was suckered. He did give me a refund less shipping, but not a good experience. My advice if you are buying a used Tag - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Also, if possible I would recommend buying from an individual seller who is not selling many other Tags.

Happy Tag hunting - just be careful out there!

I bought a tag off amazon.it and this is the warranty card. Legit?

I know Canterbury quite well, but even looking on Google maps shows no bricks and mortar store at that address. Possibly the registered office address of a grey market dealer? In which case, the warranty would not be valid. Having said that, I'm not sure there is a limited company called that - at least Google couldn't find it.

Indeed not... you don't say whether the watch is current model or not, the warranty card looks pretty battered, probably left blank originally and this seller has decided to fill it in, though that won't make the warranty valid...

Just for avoidance of doubt - to be valid, the warranty card has to be stamped by an authorized Tag dealer. You can look up whether a store is authorized by visiting Tag's website. But they do not sell on Amazon.
