Done.

Though it's hard to believe it's fake when it says certified chronometer on the dial...

I'm almost tempted to email the seller and ask what the sub dial at 3 is for, is a second date? Does it actually move? Because it looks like it's on the same wheel as the actual date.

It must be a date GMT function 😎 you can see the date of two date zones!!

The writing of the "Grand" could easily be written by illegal under age minor worker

Same worker that spelled SWISS MODE at the 11-12 hours mark.

I love the way the exhibition case back gives us such a delightful view of the gorgeous El Primero movement complete with its fine finishing!!

That is a beautiful movement.... like Irn Bru it's made from girders!

Hi guys. Been reading through the post. I am looking for my first TAG Heuer. Found the following that I am interested in and is within the wife's budget. Since this is my first time, can anyone help me identify if this REAL or FAKE? It comes with box and papers as well. Also, are their serials on the watch itself that I can match to the papers, example like Omega's.

Logo removed from store photos. Any help will be appreciated! Many thanks!

Looks fine to me. Is it a reputable store as you really need to buy the seller when buying second hand (as well as authenticating the watch).

Thanks for the reply! They should be reputable. I haven't dealt with them before, but they also have a brick and mortar store here in town, have been there for a while. The boss was pretty straight forward when I went in, he got these as new old stock from the boutique store and told me not to buy on impulse when I visited their store. He told me to go home and do my research before I make any decisions. lol~

It's not a replica; I've seen a replica the other day in person, the date window was at 12 o'clock and it had the Indianapolis logo.
I think I posted it somewhere in this thread before.

I agree with above.
Interesting that these Carreras have been rolled on as NOS to an independent like that.
Sounds like he's got a few from what you say. What's he asking out of interest?

Hey Big A, not sure if I can post that here directly (please correct me if I am wrong), but it is around half of MSRP from my calculations. They have only one of the anthracite, do you think this is something I should jump on?
