Is my TAG Heuer Authentic? All questions here please

Must just be the photo, but it also looks about 6 feet tall! 😀

How authentic do we think this is??

It's the lady's birthday in may.....

Just to add, I think this is way overpriced, it's about 3 times the price of the quartz 28mm 1000s also on eBay.
Is the Automatic movement THAT desirable?

Aquagraph

Yeah, and 'most' women wouldn't thank you for a mechanical watch to be truthful, which is why most women's watches are quartz. More likely to keep going without further expense as well!

Because they need winding? Better than needing to have the battery replaced!
Luckily my girlfriend is already a collector of antique watches! (well, old watches anyway! 😁)

I think it's a bit cheeky of the seller to claim that 756 is the "Bo Derek" model though. I did a bit of research and the photo in question contains the first production run version, with the 2-colour bezel. The watch for sale is a 2nd production run model as far as I can tell.

Compare to this.... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264645857392.

Ah well, if your girlfriend is already into windey watches then that's a different story... 👍

I'm beginning to think this is a 'Franken-watch'.

I'm beginning to think this is a 'Franken-watch'. My main concern is around the black date and the incorrect bezel.
I've spend some time looking through the catalogues and the only models with a black date are the Black PVD full-lume models, which are all quartz.
Would Heuer (or anyone else) but a black-backed/white text date dial onto an auto movement 'by mistake'??
I've also just realised that the crown is wrong (it protrudes too much and the diameter seems a little small - maybe it's a 1500 crown?)

I'm also pretty sure that with those hands (not the cathedral hands) the dial ought to have 'automatic' printed on it.
I think I'm going to pass on this one.

Hello!
Just bought a Tag Formula 1 with ref WAZ2114.BA0875 from 2018 in a great condition. I bought it with "Trusted checkout" from a well known store at Chrono24 with all the boxes and paperworks so I maybe should be calm. BUT I was starting to worrying a little because I couldn't find anything when I was typing the serial-nr on the back at Tags warranty site or at Trusteds website. Just getting the message that it couldn't found anything.
What you think? Any idea why I can't find anything or should I be worried?

Hi all - I just purchased a CAT2010.BA0952 from a well-known gray-market dealer. Everything seems in order with the watch; notably, the serial number checks out on TAG's Warranty Activation System search function.

The only concern I had was that the model number stamped on the caseback (CAT2010-0) is slightly different than I have seen for this particular Link model on every picture I can find online (CAT2010). I presume the addition of the "-0" is simply one of the known idiosyncrasies of TAG's dial notation; however, I was wondering if anyone had any additional insight.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone. Found this in my country eBay version. I’ve taken myself looking at the pictures several times a day. LOL
Does it look ok?
