There are no red flags on the watch; I am guessing those engravings were done by the Italian distributor.

It's funny how many people are given and inherit fake watches. I really hope my family just bin their crappy fake watchs rather than passing them on to me

It's the lame excuse to justify a purchase.
It's always a gift, or an inheritance.
Throw it on poor grandpa or office colleagues.
Never fails.

By my observation tag heuer "inheritence" "story" at least still have 20-80 chance. 20% of being real and 80% of being fake.

But for Vacheron Constantin or Patek it have the chance of 1-99. 1% i am being nice not giving it zero and 99% of being fake.

The typical description for toilet paper on ebay is:
"I received it as a gift during a party at the office, and have no need for it".

"I bought this while I was in Africa/Asia, but if I say it was a gift I can pretend I don't know it's a fake".

"I bought it off eBay without bothering to spend any time looking into it. After ripping my hairs out and losing an hour a day, I'm selling it as inheritance from dear old uncle billy"

Not sure if I should ask this question here but...

My fiance and I came across this watch as we were cleaning his mother's possessions after she passed away and I have no idea about the model and what year it is from (or if it's real or not) -- as we are planning to have it restored. Can you kindly enlighten me more about this watch?

Thanks in advance. 😀

Looks like a genuine older-style F1

Don't think so. Looks like a normal movement dressed up as a pendulum movement (plus there are other problems as well). Wasn't this a Tag Heuer concept watch anyway?

Thanks, imagwai. I tried looking for it on the internet but I only saw black/red and green ones so I had doubts. Is this colorway uncommon?

I think the model number is WA1410. Do a Google search on that and you'll see lots of pictures of it. Looks like a ladies (28mm) model.

@Gvelarde once again, for security reasons, please don't post links to a shared-drive; please post the pictures directly on the forum.

Please mind these questions need to be made on the existing thread.

Yes, thank you. Having links to shared drives or "unknown sources" pose a security risk, as they could lead to malicious content (malware, phishing, etc). That is why I removed the link both times. We all have to be vigilant and extra cautious online. Security is everyone's responsibility. 😀

This is a fine example of toilet paper.

I picked up this watch today and I can't find another like it. It would appear to be a professional 200m with sapphire movement and a glass back. As it has a display back I can't find any serial numbers. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
