Purchased a first series F1 new when I was young and I loved it. Just got this running F1 chrono and I have two questions 1) Is it real? 2) What do you think its worth? I have my own opinion but after just casually browsing this forum I realize you folks are way more knowledgeable. Thanks in advance.
That seems to be one of the first generation chronographs. https://www.calibre11.com/overview-tag-heuer-formula-1/

You think it's a fake? Seemed genuine to me and I compared it to the first generation F1 professional I bought new in the 80s. It also seemed unlikely to me that someone would fake an inexpensive model. Maybe I should take action against the seller.

No, he's saying he thought it was initially. I was also suspicious of the date subdial. But we're now convinced it's genuine.

No, no, no... Hubert clearly knows his old F1s better than me. I just thought it looked very suspicious with that date wheel as it's the sort of thing you see on fakes, but clearly that brochure shows it's correct. Sorry for any confusion, I was aiming my post more at Hubert to be fair.

1342? 😲 Amazing!

But is it “since 1342-1”? Or “since 1342” and it has “1 Sapphire Crystal”? 😁😁😁

And it has an Automatic movement, but quartz powered!! Revolutionary!!


And the most important assertion is “the watch is 100% authentic” 😁😁😁

What a heap of ****. Reported.
Amazing, Ebay did not take it down and that PoS sold for 550 dollars. Who would buy that?

Looks like someone is going to get an expensive education in Horology!

Dunno, but this was in the comments... 😀
"Scam ,these photos are of a watch that sold on eBay a week ago for £950"
Listings been deleted now, I wonder why feel sorry for whoever's bought this off Ebay if it is fake

Greetings again. I'm looking at purchasing another TAG for my wife this time. The model I am looking at was relayed to me as WG1322-R0. When I search online, I am finding some differences in the dials. One version has an inner gold ring on the dial and the other one does not. The one I am looking at is the one pictured with the gold dial (black background) versus an image clipped from an online search showing a dial without the inner ring (white background). Any thoughts about this discrepancy? Could the black background one be a fake? Thank you.
