·So this guy in the TAG Heuer Reddit community posted some pictures of an AR he bought off Ebay and asked if anything looked fishy. Indeed it did with a bad logo engaving on the caseback for starters. Even after pointing a few things out he was leaning towards authentic. Bizarre.
I need to point out the watch was from 2017, looked like new however, has a serial number that matches the filled out paperwork and checks out on TAGs website...
In a comment someone else pointed out a website that sells ‘high quality’ fakes. I won’t share the link here but wow. Tons of fakes, ARs you basically can’t distinguish from real, signed rotors, the works. Never ever buy an AR outside of an AD. There are 275 (!) Carreras on the site as well, including H02T.

·Hello All, the previous TAG Heuer watches I have bought were new from high street dealers, but having been relieved of them by men with guns and wanting a replacement, I looked for an Aquagraph. A local reputable dealer in watches had one and so it has been purchased, but what has struck me is the condition of this item, it looks new which I find odd for a 2004 diving watch. I can return it if I want but so far not seen any reason to besides the suspicion that it is too good. The serial number does not show up in the TAG warranty database, but the neither did my F1 until it went for repair. So here are some photos if you would offer opinions on whether is should be returned or be sent away for validation. The bracelet has 3080 stamped on it and the divers extension has the small locking points. The sub dials have concentric rings when looked under a lens and it seems to match the pictures posted on this site. Thanks for any assistance, regards Rob

·Extremely unlikely to be fake. I have mine on a rubber strap now because of the weight, but the head looks fine.

Yep. I'd only buy a new TAG from an AD. Or bring @jamesbizs with me...LOL.

·Hi, First post here. I recently bought a Monaco Quartz and am a little suspicious about it. Although the quality of the watch does not seem cheap, I feel like I got too good of a deal on it given the condition of the watch. Once I received the watch I ran the serial number and warranty code number and both came back "no result" which further made me suspicious. Any input would be greatly appreciated. https://photos.app.goo.gl/gLr14mewZQJhV4jw9
Edit: Also just realized that the watch has quick release straps as you can see in the photos, while no other photos of the watch online have the quick release that I can see.

·I don't see any particular red flags. How much did you pay? These go for £1795 RRP brand new, so are not hugely expensive compared to others in the TAG line-up.

·I paid $1250 USD / £909 which is why I'm having doubts.
Edit: I also see a US sale for $890 - I think without box and papers (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TAG-Heue...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

·Hey guys. Have you ever seen this style bracelet on the links? Supposed to be for the WJF series. But I can't find any models that have it with the solid two tone style of bracelets, like the old LINKS had.
The new ones all have that tiny section of gold in the centers.

·I don't think i've ever seen the fakes with this bezel lume before. It's almost like they are trying to make them look more real.
