I just purchased a watch. It is a model wt1110-ba0550 link. It feels solid and came with the tag box and warranty card (not filled out). The card not being filled out makes me a little nervous, so I opened up the back to see the movement. It is not marked with much that I can tell, but is stamped "there jewels". Other than sending it in for an appraisal, is there another easy to verify its authenticity?

 

The watch looks authentic to me, the movement could be a replacement, as I would expect an ETA 955.112 in it, not this later model F06.111, but is a minor thing, you only have no End Of Life function on it when the battery is almost dead. Any serial number on the caseback-plate?

 

Yes. The serial on the box is also stamped on the case back.

 

This is what my sel chronograph movement looks like. I assumed the movement in the link should have been stamped the same. Unless my sel is a fake.

 

Serial number on the caseback plate looks good too, I wouldn't worry about the missing TAG Heuer description on the movement of the Link, it could be replaced in the past. The movement in the S/EL is an ETA 251.262, totally different as it is a chronograph of course. The TAG Heuer 2.95 description on it means TAG Heuer got it in stock on the second quarter of the year 1995, that's all.

 

Cool. Well that puts my mind at ease. I picked up the link for $440. I thought it was a great deal. The watch is a bit rough, as can be seen in the photos, but I think with a good cleaning and a polish, it will make a great watch.

 

Absolutely, just make sure its water-resistance has been tested before you clean it with soap and water.

 

It's surely a "concept" that pioneered "cenifugal" forces.

The ridiculous is strong in this one.

 

It's that extremely rare limited edition "merces benz"

Even a 'defective' TAG Heuer turbillion would be more than $200. It's obviously fake, just look at the letter spacing on the strap. Hilarious.

 

The strap would be the least of my concerns when looking at this monstrosity...

 

Indeed, I have reported it to EBay.

 

Nice looking Monza Re-edition on ebay right now. Legit seller but the signed crown just looks wrong to me. Thoughts?
It's item number 121910773712.
EDIT: Here's the pic. The logo just seems small? I can't find a decent pic of re-edition crown to compare it to.
EDIT #2: Hmmm, based on Google Image search, it seems correct. Decisions, decisions.

 

That looks like a fine watch.

I have yet to come across a Monza replica.
