Any way to find out what year is this 2000 series ?

It appears in the 2001 and 2002/2003 catalogues, by 2005 the 2000 range was replaced by the Aquaracers, so best guess would be 14-18 years old.

A bunch of terrible fakes...
Looks just like when I go on instagram and search a hashtagg like #tagheueraquaracer or similar, every time there are accounts marketing these shitty fakes... why do they even bother to produce these, so obvious fakes?

😁😁
Both “McLaren editions” are hilarious!!

“West McLaren Mercedes 2014”,
when West wasn't sponsoring McLaren for many years

And the best of the best is:
“West McLaren Mercedes 2015”... with no West sponsoring, and with Honda engines!! 😁😁

Here's an interesting one.
A CS1110 Pilot with the King Hussein of Jordan crown. Notice the missing T's on either side of "SWISS MADE".
Were there were more pilots made with the crown to sell to the public or was the king's a one off special order?

The real deal (picture taken from the Ultimate Guide)...



Possible fake?????

It looks too good to be a fake from that era I would have thought.

So far the difference I spied was -Swiss Made T, and Swiss Made.

After doing some searching, I did find another pilot without the T's. Here's a pic....




That still leaves the question about the Crown above the logo. If it's authentic, did they sell a "Hussein" model to the public? I checked the catalogs and it's not listed but we know that some special watches made by TAG were not cataloged.
