    Look at the case/lug shape.

    Only wanted it to be true, guessing the $1,200 asking price makes it even more egregious then ::puke::

    Better they all point in different directions than all point the same except one...

    What you trying to say? You don't think AP will make those screws perfectly symmetrical for £26000? :cautious:
    And anyway, aren't those 'screws' actually nuts that sit in hexagonal holes so can't be wrong?

    Well yes, it's pretty ridiculous. Worse than faux rivets on a bracelet :)

    But you seem to have moved this discussion into the Is My TAG Heuer Authentic thread somehow :)

    Hi Rob, this Hublot looks authentic to me, you should feel safe buying it. Great choice man.

    yeah, they really didn't do anything good when it came to those models. No point I guess.

    oh that feels so good. I think people like the idea of the randomness. But no, not I. Don't you dare give me a screw, and tell me I cant straighten it.

    I posted this on WUS but perhaps I'll get a different set of eyes here.
    I realize it's only one photo but can anyone offer an opinion on this Ebay watch? Seller has the usual generic product pics but this is of the actual watch. Listed for $899 and seller has 100% feedback on 200 sales. I have contacted him and he provided me with the serial number which shows up on the TAG site but I found out with my last Chrono24 purchase that this means nothing. Thanks in advance!

I’d love some advice/opinions here. I purchased this Tag Heuer Aquaracer (CAY111A) from a seller on eBay. He has a 99% rating with almost 5k ratings, and appears to mostly sell high end watches, parts, warranty cards, and manual booklets. The watch itself looks great and unworn (though - in taking these pictures the flash shows some scratches that can’t be seen otherwise - polished maybe?). The issue/cause for concern is the warranty card and the listing title. He listed this watch as a 2022 Tag Heuer, yet the serial number came back warranty activated in 2017 (and the serial number on the warranty card has a typo). When asked about this (and I called out the serial check), he just noted that the Watch was from 2022 and kind of ignored the question about the 2017 date. He seems highly rated, so I’m trying to see if I’m overthinking this. Of course, when I go to sell this watch at some point, I will have issues with the warranty card date not matching the online checker. I’m also concerned that the Watch itself is a counterfeit, as I’m definitely not an expert. I’ve noticed that the two Chronograph buttons are somewhat odd, with the top one being more springy and the bottom one being a bit more mushy, but with a much louder and tactile click. I truly appreciate any advice here! 88659C46-D44D-4C0A-959C-8E900F2C4387.jpeg

    Hi there. Any chance anyone could lend some expertise here? I don’t want to wait too long on this watch, as I’m sure I only have so much time to claim it’s not as described (if fake/cause for concern).

    Hello car guy, main rule is to never buy Aquaracer from Ebay. My guess is that 95% of the listings are common models normally faked a lot.

    I am not expert in this model but an obvious tell is the lume pip on yours? To me it looks like a bad fake, when compring to photos of the real deal.

    Look at this video and you will see what a genuine one should look like, in your photos your lume pip looks very different from a genuine one in this video



    Then compare to this video below, posted by this known criminal asshole often posting many videos of fake TAG Heuer watches. The only good thing is that he shows what these commonly faked models often look like when they aren't genuine. This fake version's lumepip looks a lot more like yours
