Verification of this watch

Hello I bought this watch on eBay and wanted to get a second opinion on this watch to see if it’s real or not. It came with box, papers, purchase tag, cards.

Is this genuine please

Thank you for the reply, I've popped out a std pin. I did read a post about F1 quartz using these pins and the auto's a double indent pin. Here you go anyway, much appreciated feedback.

Hi I was hoping to find out if this is genuine or fake

JAH

I think that is the wrong pin for that bracelet but not sure. I know Senna Quartz use pin/barrel. Thought that bracelet also did. I know standard F1 bracelet use cotter pins.

Anybody that own that bracelet who can confirm ?

Can I get your opinions please?

Do you think that it would worth it to open it up at a jeweller or these are more than enough to make it sure and fill in for a return?

In the middle. If I am not mistaken it is no question that it is fake then.

Thank you for your contribution. Do you have any experience regarding eBay money back guarantee with a seller not accepting returns?

Not personally, for fakes. Likely best course is open a Significantly Not As Described return, citing not genuine. Simply state something along the lines of Bezel lume pip, bezel markings, dial print, indices, and caseback differ from genuine. Bracelet pins consistent with fake TAG Heuer watches (single dimple in middle of collar/pin).
If they require pictures you can upload what you've posted here, and use this as a reference:

hi there, I recently bought this Aquaracer, I’ve taken to two local jewellers and they seem to think it’s all good, without opening it up. It does look pretty bang on from what I can tell but you can never be too careful. Anyone able to have a look and give me their opinion? Thank you.

It's fake - usual tells including bezel lume, markings, inconsistent indices, and hands.

Pop a pin out of the bracelet, and you'll find it's like the last fake on here. Eventually, they might get that right.

Local jewellers, unless they know what to look for, will just see a well-made watch which isn't obviously fake. Good fakes don't need to be perfect, they just need to be able to fool most people.
