Private sale of a bnib polar AR on watchuseek for $1300.
have we seen copies of this one?

Good catch! How did you tell? Yes.. Same manufacturer as the fakes I've been going after. You can tell by the awful LUME and the plastic wrap on the bracelet. Where is the listing?

Found it.

What are you talking about? The watch is legit.. The lume is the same as all the other ones... How would you know by looking at the pictures?

If you are completely sure it's fake, then you should alert the mods on WUS by clicking the report post button (small warning triangle icon at bottom of post).

100%. It's the same ones we've been discussing. I'm giving him a chance. Sounds like a legitimate mistake, so far.

In case anyone wants to see the difference. and why I can tell " just by looking at the picture"

The lume dot looked off, the finishing of the case was suspicious but that could be the lighting. This one also has boxes and a warranty card with the old logo and an instruction booklet with the new logo.
The box seems to come from the same stock of crappy logo boxes we've seen before.

The seller has been a member since 2014 with lots of posts. He most probably isn't even aware. Just goes to show.

Even so, the ad should be reported to the WUS admins before someone gets burned.

Lol, it is within my country. I personally don't know the seller at all though.

Could it be fake ? He mentioned in there the movement is Japanese 😵‍💫

But real box 😲

are you sure? Can we trust that guy? Seems like a shady type. I asked him to sell me a TAG for $5 once, and he said NO.

lol just come to us and show us. Plus, you can send them to Tag Heuer for free authentication. Don't let this worry you TOO much.

Pretty sure that's fake. I don't believe the Monaco 24 Gulf was ever released with a polished steel case. Also the production versions didn't have Tag Heuer inscribed in the case either.
