Hey folks,
First sorry if this has been asked before, but I figured this might be a good thread to get an answer. I picked up an old TAG 1500 (wd1200) and I was trying to find out when it was manufactured. I bought the watch at an AD, so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't real. Anyway, I identified the serial number and am looking for a guide to translate for it. Anybody know how to read them or where to look online?

TAG Heuer aren't at SIHH because they aren't part of the Richemont group. That aside, that looks like an awful fake 馃檨 !!

Also.. I think you'll find they are. Or at least in a boat in the car park.

They may be in Geneva, but they are not formally part of SIHH!!!

Yep- gets straight to the point: "Made in china, not original"

Both look fine to me

Thanks, I thought they looked fine but always appreciate an expert opinion.
Some little sod has bid on the cheaper one.... 馃槨
Still, I guess I can see a logical bid limit here, since I could get the limited edition for 拢699 or less...

Good day everyone. I picked up this Formula 1 Series 4 looking watch from a watch repair shop at a cheap price. Can you please help me identify its original or fake? Thanks!
