·Ok so ugh. I found a watch on ebay with that same serial number. Sold from Japan couple weeks ago.
Is my TAG Heuer Authentic? All questions here please

·As for the sticker, you're right, I didn't hide it very well. As for the black one, it was used and I replaced the battery on it. I was confused by the fact that identical models have movement of different colors.

There is no specific type of movement in this model? Can it be both silver and gold? Did I understand correctly?

·Does the silver movement in the blue one have “Swiss Parts” printed on it? If so, I believe that is fake, as TAG should only use “Swiss Made” movements.

·Pretty sure it says Swiss parts upper left under the jewels engraving
Please correct me if I am wrong, but if the dial says "Swiss Made", then the movement needs to be consistent. I also noted the date on the blue AR is off-centred; however, this could just mean the movement needs a service?
I noted that "Garry" stated he bought the watch from an "official store" in Italy. Was this watch bought brand new from an AD? Something is off...

Generic 5050.E Gold has 13 jewels and nickel has 6 jewels. That's the difference. So I think Tag heuer is just going the cheap route, and the fakes just get whatever they can get at a low price and in quantity. Remember, these aren't tag movements. Nickle is swiss parts and I'm not sure about the gold. I believe what qualifies is as swiss is that it's swiss assembled, while the nickle is just made with swiss parts.

·So umm, is the Japan one a fake using this serial number? This is a HUGE seller and Japanese don't normally mess around. But what a weird coincidence that the same watch model and serial number sold just 13 days ago...

·My watch is more than two years old and was sold by some "big Japanese dealer" 2 weeks ago. This is a truly mystical story. But something tells me that everything is much clearer. -China, Taiwan, Indonesia....if anyone can follow up?

·Хммм, чи є японська підробка з цим серійним номером? Це ВЕЛИЧЕЗНИЙ продавець, і японці зазвичай не возяться. Але який дивний збіг, що та сама модель годинника та серійний номер були продані лише 13 днів тому...

·Judging from the sticker tag the Blue one looks fake.

·Guys, I need the opinion of experts. A few years ago I bought a used TAG and when I was changing the battery in it, I saw a gold movement. Later I sold it. And 2 years ago, I bought the same one in an official store in (Italy), but in a different color, and when I opened it yesterday to replace the battery, I saw that the movement in it was silver. please tell me: Which one is fake?
(the first two photos are a used Tag, and the next 2 photos are a new one purchased from a dealer)
