Hey guys. So what'd I miss?
lol what the hell is up with that bracelet tho. Is that supposed to be a grand carrera clasp, on a formula? Interesting. Couldn't even do that if you tried, seeing as how the clasps have female ends, while the cheaper formulas have male ends.
next issue is, that bracelet is supposed to be a ceramic center links one. Next, is the bezel, that is also supposed to be ceramic.
So, what your saying is, dont worry if it gets beat up 😁
@de157 If those movement shots are from the F1 whose pictures you posted recently, then it has a Rhonda quartz movement that Tag doesn't generally use. Typically one would find an ETA movement in a Tag quartz watch. Now the rhonda is also a swiss quartz movement, and a good one for sure but it is missing some features normally found on Tag Quartz watches, notably the 4 second jump to indicate a low battery. My fake aquaracer had a Rhonda movement. Based on other comments showing bezel irregularities etc, I'd say your F1 is fake.
D de157A follow up on this. Attaching the photos.
Looks like a real movement though..
you're a couple years behind. Every year, they are getting better. Just like serial numbers are almost all now valid and for the correct model. I have multiple fakes with gold ronda movements. Chrono and non chrono. And as far as I can tell, they all that cheap looking white movement holder. And so far, none of them have movement holder screws, but at the same time, the movement posted above, has screws that look nothing like OEM, at least from the angles he showed.
If I understand correctly, this screw should be like this

yes but also no. The fake AUTOMATICS do have screws, such as that one. Having an automatic movement be loose, will be a problem real quick. Quartz don't have screws because it doesn't really matter.
