I think if the caseback says WE1110 without -R or -2, it's the correct indices and date window (-R doesn't have the white border, for example).

Amazing condition.

It has the R on the caseback. If this was an EU watch I would have bought it, however shipping from Houston, TX.
Available from Reddit under r/watchexchange is anyone’s interested.
I just bought the other set.

If I was into watches like that, I don't know if I could have passed up getting such a pristine example, unless the prices were just way different.

I understand about buying local - so much less hassle. However, I did love the look of the tritium dial on that US one. Congrats on your purchase, though, Yago. Post some pics of the one you did get when it arrives.

Yeah I figured I have that perfect 1000 with lume markers so a 2000 with applied markers makes sense. It being a solid original full set made me pull the trigger. If I like it I can imagine myself diving a bit deeper in ‘80s and ‘90s (TAG) Heuer. These funky watches seem too cheap.

Yes, 80s and 90s watches are fantastic to collect and they don't break the bank!


This dial looks wrong to me.

It does look weird... I'll be honest tho, I'm not very good with formulas, at least not from videos and pics. The box appears to be real tho. So maybe he buys real and fakes and just is too stupid to know the difference.

I've actually seen a real one and this just doesn't have the same look to me.

Look at the sticker tag and judge on text placement

Got this last year from a reseller here in the Philippines. Never had the chance to verify its authenticity but the serial number has no problem when checked using Tag’s warranty checker. But read a lot in different forums and FB groups that fakes nowadays look authentic.

thank you!

Just seen this same post on Facebook 😀 I thought it looked alright also, and if it checks out on TAG's warranty checker, then I'd say you're fine.

you know, the sad thing is, fakers can easily grab a real serial number ( such as from the OP's pics....), so you'll have 100 watches that all check out on tags warranty checker...

Agreed, although most of the fakes I've seen seem to bring up a different model.

thankfully they are still too stupid and or lazy to make perfect fakes. They still make more than enough money, clearly, so they just don't care. And no one is stopping them.

If I were in charge of making fakes...... man, we'd all be screwed hahahha.
