What do you guys think about this one, to me the numbers on the bezel look a bit rough and the lume pip doesn't look quite right.
Here's mine to compare

Suspicious because the seller has sold 4 TAGs, two of which were the same model... and it's super cheap as well.

Agree that it is fake, the lume dot is what instantly gives it away

Actually as well, the hour markers look flat, they should be 'creased' in the middle.

The bezel doesn’t line up with the case at all on the sides either. Not even close!

Isn't it about time we started an eBay seller blacklist? What do you say Hubert? It would need to be a sticky thread on it's own, at least then people would have a list (alphabetical) to check against. If you don't want to do it here I am quite happy to do it on my blog, but more people will see it here.

Would be amazing, anything to complicate things for these criminal bastards

I may be over generalising, but every TAG I've seen that's been wrapped in those resealable plastic rain macs has been suspect.
It seems like they all have the same characteristics. They all have the same grey string with the large white hang tag too. The warranty card looks different than the ones I have in my authentic boxes.

Yes, agree that I'd be very cautious on these...that's not to say that its a definite fake, but why take a chance?

Bought these a while back and was going to put them up for sale. I don't want to rip anyone off, so I'd like to know in advance. And if you could tell me what gives it away, I'll know better what to look for. Thanks.

I've invited the seller here to post pics as he claims he has been duped and did not know the watch was fake.
