I know someone who bought one of these, he put it on a NATO because the bracelet was so terrible it was unwearable. I suggested he get the appropriate blue rubber strap but he said he doesn't like rubber.

But he likes NATOs.

WTF?

Right?

 

I don't know enough about these watches. Made before I was born. But I also feel these just can't be fake. Way too good. The fake 1500's we've seen, at least have tell tale signs, but also, they only copied the rare ones. Why would someone make all of these? These aren't all that rare. In this condition? Sure. But in general? Nah.

 

man lol really hard to say. I've been buying inventory for like 20 years. Sometimes my suppliers include this stuff in the lot. Completely useless to me, but still interesting to see. What's really useless, is those damn square prototypes. I also have these weird "cases", that are just cylinders with a case back and crystal, but no anything else. I never understood what the hell those were.

 

Yeah... but then he has four together it looks really shady.

 

Tag do not print Bracelet number under model number in back case to my knowledge.

Referenced to post about last gen F1 from JP sellers. Posted by Snowy

 

Yes indeed! I did not notice that.

 

holy crap lol good catch. They got so lazy, they confused the bracelet number, with the serial number. At least with that first Formula. The ceramic one, I don't know wtf BA0828 is supposed to be.

 

BA0828 is the reference for an Aquaracer bracelet.

 

Not a ceramic F1 bracelet

 

Had a brain fart. I'm normally really good with bracelet numbers.

 

Hello I am new to Tag Heuer and found this watch in an auction that isn't getting much attention and might get it cheap. My issue is I'm not knowledgeable enough yet to tell if its a redial or a fake, and if it is a fake I don't want it at all. So if some of the more knowledgeable people here would be willing to give me their advice I would appreciate it very much. Also I apologize these are the only 2 photos available of the watch.

 

Fake, automatic had monochrome logo and text should have been chronometer instead of automatic. Date didn't have the silver window, case design is not smoothe on this one (lugs), check here:

Definite fake

 

It's a good fake for the time, but it is definitely fake. The case is the wrong shape.

 

Thank you for confirming

This is TERRIBLE!

 

Do these things actually get sold? Some of these are hideous looking

 

yes. Yes they do.

 

I had a coworker that wore one to work everyday. It had 1500 professional written on the dial, but the case was shaped more like an S/EL. She knew it was fake, but still liked it.

 

So what the heck are these for?
