The bracelet pins are a giveaway but I can't remember what they are supposed to look like. Also the lume pip. Doesn't look like it has a ring around it to me.
Shouldn't be a ring around the lume on this reference

And yes, ask him to send you a photo of the bracelet pins

I saw this when you posted on Reddit - honestly, it looks okay from those pictures. Dimensions (indices, hands) look correct, bracelet pins and collars look fine - the only concern is the bezel lume pip, and that could be fine and it's just bad pictures.

Aquaracer is a terrible Chinese copy so if all of them are posted by the same criminal I think one can assume the rest to be fake as well

This comment was made on /r/tagheuer after someone asked if a CAZ1011 was genuine:

Which I replied was bollocks, so they challenged me to find two fakes in those five (their throwaway account was banned a short time later).

I've already made my observations and conclusions, and was wondering what everyone else's opinions were.

Difficult to say how truthful that comment is, but it is worrisome when people start talking about that it does not matter if a watch is genuine or not because fakes are now so well made that they can be repaired by TAG Heuer under warranty

I've only ever heard anecdotal evidence of this - nobody has ever provided proof, so I just assume it's a fabrication (as is the claim that two of those five were fake, which is demonstrably false).

Your watch does not look even close to a WAY201A. Simply compare yours with this photo of a genuine one

You started a new thread to ask about the authenticity of your watch, and I -one of the forum moderators- moved your question to this specific thread to ask such questions, as the thread name indicates.

No, you need to carefully inspect and compare the details between a genuine one and your Chinese version. The main give away and tell on your fake watch is the bezel lume pip

They don't mean it looks 'nothing like', they mean in the details it's not accurate.
