How much do you think is worth? I looked through all catalogs and didn't find the year it was made... a limited edition perhaps? I know they made ladies version...

·Hello everyone. I have I believe exhausted all possible sources in my quest to find out if the Tag Heuer watch I recently purchased is real or not. So I would like to kindly ask experts on this forum to help put it to rest...
As you can see the watch in question is Link Stainless steel and 18K gold WT 1150.
I have included pictures what I would believe could determine if it is real or fake.
As far as functions...it has a screw down crown and rachetting ring.The quick adjustment of date works only in correct position of hands. The watch weights 170 gr or so. In case the pictures are not clear there is number 955.112 inside, a logo with "eta" inside, SWISS V8 and also seven 7 seven jewels written on the movement. Back cover and band has numbers and letters of style and serial number of the watch. It had Renata Swiss battery (dead) before I changed it. I know it doesn't mean a thing, as you can buy them online for few bucks....
Thank you all for your inputs. I couldn't find the date this watch was introduced...
For those who would like to know...I paid $200 (auction). I figured it was worth the risk... round box and papers ( no warranty card) were included. Radek
Seriously tho... where you getting these.

·Holy crap, you paid $200 for that? The bezel costs more than that, MELT value. By auction, do you mean ebay? I can't believe that would ever sell at $200, so I can understand why you would be concerned. The seller really got screwed in this deal. I've never seen a fake one of that either. The other LINK, looks good too, but I'd need more pics to answer you 100%. I could show you some fakes of that model tho, and you'll see the difference right away...
Seriously tho... where you getting these.
What other interesting would you need to see on the black dial Link? On contrary..I paid double on that one 😀 Radek

·Thank you very much for your reply. I bought it on local auction held about 20 minutes from us.... over the internet. I'm not sure if I can say the name of the platform that is incorporating all the auction houses in US and abroad... they had problems with theirs servers on that day probably due to the huge snow storm and although there was another bid not another person bid. So I figured only $200 was price I didn't expect to pay

·Didn’t you say you paid $250? Well, either way, the gold one was the one you got a great deal on. With a little tlc, you could sell it for $800 easy. The other one isn’t as valuable. But still could probably double your money depending on condition. I’d need to see a full on front pic. With these; the bezel is usually the tell.

·I paid total of $250 and that includes $50 premium. Sorry for the confusion. Didn't mean to be changing my story by any means.
If I add a shipping I had to pay on the black Link it would be close to double of what cost me the gold Link…..Here is the picture of the other Link.

·Super newbie to watches and am learning that the watch I like is prone to be “replicated” by less than honest people. This weekend when buying a gift for my wife at a trusted local jeweler, I found a pre-owned Batman Aquaracer GMT that if authentic I’d love to buy. I only have one pic at this time bc the proprietor just sent me one and have attached it. Can you please take a look at the pic and let me know what you think? I’m glad to ask for additional pictures if needed but before this I’d like to get a first pass. Thanks!

·Should certainly be in a grey oblong box, not the old brown square box. If you buy you could sent to TAG free of charge for authentication, at least if you buy it from a jewellers if it proves to be fake you can take it back. No jeweller is going to risk bad publicity if you have written proof from the manufacturer that they have sold you a fake watch.

·Good point, just check first that this free authentication service is offered in your country. I am not sure this is offered in all markets.

·At least the wrong box, is a real one. So that's good. I have a ton of boxes like that. For tag. Omega. Etc. So I have been known to put a watch into the wrong box...
But as said, just not enough pictures to go off of.

·Thanks. I have an update:
-SN checks out as registered to the right model. Also googled the SN and it doesn’t come up at all. (Is there a registry online for SN’s we know are compromised?)
-picture of the back looks real (not the mess that was seen on the Aquaracer fake posted on Reddit last year—I’ll post this evening when I can redact the SN out. )
-The original receipt is from a local AD and maps to the date the watch is registered online
-warranty card is included
-jeweler will refund if found to be fake
-the jeweler said that the watch came in w the box as is.
I’m not buying it until I can go back and see it this weekend. The price is a bit high so negotiations are ahead of us. I’d love to have a Rolex Batman but the current costs are just more than I can justify. I want a nice watch. Not one I can’t wear bc I’m afraid I’ll get robbed.
thanks to all. I’ll keep you posted!
