Hi guys!

Hi everyone, if You buy a pre-owned watch from a jewellery only 6 months old with box,papers and waranty card.
(Another 1,5 years international waranty).
Serial number matches watch and waranty card.
Could there be anything wrong with the watch?
Thanks

It's hard to say anything general, but if you can create a fake watch it is also rather easy to forge a certificate/warranty. With that said, upload some pictures here and you'll be a bit more certain!

Here are some pics 😀
I'd be very surprised if that's fake - I haven't seen any high quality fakes of the newer Carreras yet and the movement looks good. Don't know about the boxes, but it's highly possible they're made in China.

Thanks for your answer.
I was a bit worried of al the sites i found with replicas but they probably use pictures of the real ones.
On YouTube the compare 2 rolex and they said the replica watches keep improving.
Thats when You start loosing your mind!

There are some amazing Rolex replicas out there. There are a few good Tags as well - seen a very good Aquaracer replica, although they tend not to be as well done as the Rolex. Have you seen any top quality Carrera Heuer 01 replicas anywhere? I haven't yet.

Thanks mate! Lucky I only spent $5 on it.
What is the give away?
Shonky definition of numbers on the bezel
Incorrect case back (model number refers to a different watch)
TAG logo on case back looks all wrong
Mismatching branding - TAG Heuer on watch and Heuer branding on bracelet clasp
Poor bead-blasting finish on bracelet clasp, not matching the finish on the rest of the watch
Want me to go on??

Hi, I boought this CG1111-0 from one guy, without box or paper. He told me that it is original. He has asked to the store (but i do not know tag heuer store or not). something suspicious is the word swiss made at the bottom. as far as I know, it should written "t swiss made t". but actually i have doubt about that. kindly please any body give me a hint. I appreciate for the comment or hint.

regards

The 'T' in t Swiss Made t means it has tritium lume.

Although that on it's own isn't a given on very early era TAG Heuers as they used up old parts like clasps with the Heuer logo on.

@abah esa there’s nothing in your watch which makes me think it’s not genuine. Not very common to find these models faked as there are somewhat of a rarity or oddity...depending on how you look at them.

I am no expert on these by any means, but case, dial, movement and caseback all appear correct.
