Is my TAG Heuer Authentic? All questions here please

E Efe Çakıroğlu

Another screenshot belonging to another watch on Chrono. So, apart from the looks of the movement, which I have to ignore as a comment based on the info I have just provided, can you give me anything that indicates that my watch is not authentic?

Very fake.

Looks fine to me - early CAR2110 before they switched to the tachy chapter ring and the revised 1887. Likely serviced, which is why it has the early rotor and column wheel but looks like one of the automatic winding wheels has been updated.

Movement is Ronda but has no tag heuer stamps. Legit or not? Thank you.

His second caseback pic seems to be ok:

Your watch doesn't even have the black text on the rotor? It looks nothing like the one from chrono24 either.

Your watch clearly has a fake movement

LOL @flawless are you saying TAG Heuer manufactured this movement? It looks like a bad Chinese version wtf

Is this text black enough? Or should it be black"er"?

TAG hasn't used signed quartz movements for a long time. It looks okay, but your pictures are blurry. Take a clear, in focus closeup of the front and back (see pictures in quote)

Apologies - I did my best here. Hopefully better focus.

Much better pictures.

My concerns as follows (your watch second image in each comparison):

Uneven edges on 6

Inconsistent dimensions on bezel 5s (compare top left 5s with lower right 5s)

The usual tells of inconsistent index width, dial/chapter ring print, and hand dimensions are not present - this model has a lot of fakes out there (as it's "easy" to do well enough to fool most people), so either they're getting insanely good at this model or it's a genuine TAG with some very minor issues QA missed (and the bezel 5's could be down to the photograph, even).

If it's fake, it's the best I've seen.

Thanks for the information. I am gifting it to my kid. I am uncomfortable gifting something with a slight possibility of being fake. I have paid a fair price for it and I hope those photos gets me definitive answer. Thanks again and much appreciated.

I would personally say it's beyond reasonable doubt, but if you want to be sure then send it to TAG (contact via their website)

Guess they've been overrun with eBay fakes and just don't have time for it anymore
