the minute hand has a big blob of lume at the end instead of coming to a point
Even knowing what you're referring to, the quality of that picture doesn't make it clear. You could also argue it's due to moisture ingress, which will sometimes cause lume to "bloom".

There are, however, other notable indicators like the hand dimensions, index and numbers on the dial, that can be used to determine it is fake.

Always the blue F1s... just looks 'wrong' to me, but I will leave it to someone else to say for sure.

Could be just that I don't trust this model anymore.
Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it.

Hello, I am wondering is my watch real. If someone can assist I would be grateful.
Difficult to say one way or the other - clean the bracelet on the inside, and take pictures of the little holes on the back of the links. Also, take a picture of the deployant open.

Pictures must be well lit and in clear focus to be of any use.

Guess they have a warehouse full of them... it's taken a long time but I guess it was inevitable.

Annoyingly, I would really like one, but the original ones have always been way too expensive. I should have bought at £1000 when I had the chance... I remember hovering over the website, I should have known. 200 pcs... was bound to sell out and appreciate.

was it buried in the back yard? that's in harsh condition - I'm definitely no expert, but the tag heuer on the bezel seems cheesy and why would TAG not be the same version with the arrows as the logo on the face and why is Heuer not all upper case? and is the bracelet and case just filthy or is it rusty? odd there's no space between water and resistant on the back nor mention of sapphire crystal (although not sure that's on every back), but the crystal looks pretty rough....just googling anything with senna or model number doesn't show anything close to this

unless it was in a salty environment, it really shouldn't be rusting like that being the case and bracelet are typically stainless

Recent acquisition, a 41mm - WAY211C-1

Looking to confirm if this one is 100%. Looks good to me for the most part, pearl, dial etc.... But I was surprised to see an ETA 2824-2 instead of a SW200 in there. Also, I assume that the WAY211C-1 means it's a later model than a WAY211C-0 and I thought tag got away from ETA for their 3 hander ARs?

My CBC2112 Link has an ETA as well (bought in '21). Movement is a 2894-2, a 2892A with an ETA module. I figured that ETA would give them a break as Sellita doesn't make an equivalent (such that I know about). But maybe they just ran out as they only offer a three-hander today.

Nothing wrong that I see; check the bracelet pins? Doesn't look like you'd have much difficulty.
