Is my TAG Heuer Authentic? All questions here please

jamesbizs

well so far so good. I have not seen any fake use the correct pin and tubes. Can you share which seller you got the watch from? Don't know how much of this thread you have read, but ebay authentictors are useless.

I have not . Came over from Reddit , every on r/tag Heuer said the watch checked out . I bought from WatchMaxx who sent to an eBay Authentication . Watch came with Box and hang tag but no card

Eh, lol. I'll give you some pics of the fakes we've caught on here, and you can post it on there and ask them and I'd bet they'd say it's fine.

but watchmaxx is a good company. That's actually where I got the watch I was using as the example a couple pages back. And they won't give you a card, because they are a grey market seller, which means the warranty is through them and not tag heuer.

Нема про що хвилюватися, ізографічний калібр 5 був повною технічною несправністю TAG Heuer, вони відкликали всі продані годинники. Моделі Autavia з трьома ручками, які опинилися на ринку, мають стандартний калібр cosc 5, без ізографа.

Please make sure to take photos when it is open, we would love to see. Sometimes the fakes have a genuine SW200-1 inside, or a well made clone movement that looks exactly like the real deal. Will be interesting to hear if the watchmaker opens it up, sees a sw200-1 and tells you your fake watch is legit.

D Dominic Woolley

So you think it’s legitimate?

Hey again, I actually opened the watch up myself today because I was too curious to see what’s inside. It’s an SW200-1 movement with the “Tag Heuer Calibre 5 Swiss made” text on the rotor. Can’t believe the extent these guys are going to, they even made the correct looking movement spacer

Please excuse me, but is there a reason why we are getting Ukrainian text in this thread?

Agreed, watch posted by @Jay_83 is definitely fake

With so many requests asking what aspects suggest my watch may be fake, it makes me very dubious as to the reason behind the requests.

Can see a legitimate request to advance knowledge on avoiding a fake in future. Can also see the scenario where information is fed back to make these elements better on future fakes.

Fair enough. That’s a valid point. My questions were to avoid fakes in the future. I was suckered in by the fact that it showed up on Tags warranty check site. Thanks for the advice. Now to send it back!

bpsmith

Was aimed specifically at you. Just seems to be a pattern with new members of late.

I can totally see legitimate questions being asked in fairness. Stick around btw, as this is a great forum with great members. 😀
