Hi, I'm fairly sure what the answer will be, but some confirmation will be appreciated!

After clearing some of my Dads old stuff out, found this watch. I don't remember him ever buying or wearing it, so probably a tell tale sign in itself. The movement is still working and the bracelet has become ... awful, if that's any help. Thanks for any thoughts.

I emailed a company earlier called 'Watches and Crystals' because they were showing the green Aquaracer on their website - and basically asked them up front if they were genuine because these watches were hard to get and now are showing up regularly. I was expecting the usual brush off, but they actually said they are now taking them down because they are concerned they might not be genuine as they are from a new supplier (and not 'direct from the manufacturer' as their website claimed').

Hey All!

First time poster here, and I'm hoping some of you will weigh in and hopefully give me some peace of mind.

I purchased this Carerra off of eBay, for a reasonable price. It came from an eBay seller in the US with over 3k past sales dating back to the early 2000's, great reviews and what looked like a lot of watch parts in his store. I also purchased eBay's third party authentication guarantee where the seller mails it to an authenticator of eBay's choosing. In this case it went to Stoll & Co. in Dayton, OH. They came back and verified it is authentic. Now for peace of mind, I'd like to come here and ask some Tag enthusiasts the same question.

I apologize in advance for not so clear pictures. I didn't realize until a few minutes ago, how difficult it was going to be to minimize glare.

Please let me know if you'd like additional pictures of anything.

Thanks in advance all!

Someone from China got in touch with me about selling Tag Heuer watches at wholesale. These scammers must be desperate. Even sending me a fake Authorisation.

Not new to TH, but new to whatever this is. Says Deville on the back and google has failed me at identifying it. Unsure if it's a weird Omega/Tag fake or just something not well documented. Anyone know?

Dear God! Look at what's happened to the case of the watch. Real stainless steel does not corrode like that. Looks like it's made of pig iron.

That TAG x Deville fake is a tough act to follow. But this Monaco might just have it beat!

Interesting, as if someone decided to design their own dream Monaco twist. You failed the assignment but you get an A for effort
