·What do you guys think of this one? I'm pretty positive it's fake and I explained to him that current generation AR fakes use genuine movements, and for some reason after knowing this he took it to a random non-tag AD and had them authenticate....by looking at the movement. Has all the tell-tale signs that the watchingo fake I analyzed a few weeks back had. Look at the pip.
Also the serial comes back registered to an entirely different watch. And he didn't buy this watch from an AD to begin with for it even to be registered.
The movement inside is indeed a genuine Calibre 7 ETA movement.

·Shows that I have been out of the game for a while, as having worked in UK marketing as product manager for TAG Heuer from 2003 to 2009, I could smell a fake a mile off then, but it seems that it is considerably more sophisticated now. My usual giveaways were obvs logo discrepancies, polished where it should be brushed and vice versa, flimsy push buttons and crown, dodgy bracelets, dimensions and amateur tooling, inconsistent packaging and literature...coupled with the fact that I am not writing product sheets on a daily basis and don’t know current models so well. That will hopefully change though...

Nice to have an ex-TAG Heuer staffer on the forum!

·But I prefer if we can have a more direct contact, restricted to us and James H. If we create a thread we will have to always wait for him to visit the forum. Whatsapp or similar would be instant and less stressful for me.
