·That's a shame but I totally don't blame you. AD is one place you can be certain.

·I've noticed WF seem to be putting a lot of 'catalogue' images on their site lately. Which is not helpful. Still you can return...

·Yes, sometimes this is the case. What you have to remember is that WF offer a service, I believe a lot of their business is London people swapping watches every few months so some items they will sell high if they think they will have a 'swap' customer for it.

·Hi,
On the second-hand market, I saw a Heuer 01 CAR2A8A and bracelet BF0707, from around 2017 (watch previously bought from a private individual with box and warranty card, but no invoice or store name).
I have some questions to you before going to meet the seller:
The winding crown also looks strange to meor is it the angle of the photo?
If anyone had a Heuer 01, could you give me the weight with the bracelet (2-3 links less on the one offered).
On the other hand, when I search for the warranty by entering the serial number indicated by the seller on the TH site, I get the warranty code, the reference, but no description or photo of the watch underneath (I blurred the last two numbers to publish the result).
What do you think?
Thanks

·I think it's the angle of the photo - but it's worth noting these crowns, I know someone who had a Heuer 01 and he fiddled with the crown all the time. The rubber wears away and becomes conical if you do that. But it doesn't appear that is the case here.

·Imagine what the future holds, when fakes are as good as the genuine product (we are very close to it today). Buying used will be a lottery, all you can do is hope you aint getting a counterfit product.

·Did you ever get any more information from Watchfinder about authenticity? I gotta be honest with you, seeing this being instantly listed again is totally crushing the faith I used to have in Watchfinder as a trusted dealer.

·T Track20I stated on the phone and email every concern that was talked about here with the watch pins and tube, lume pip, etc… and they told me I could send the watch back. At the end of the day my largest concern was getting a refund.

·Do we have unequivocal proof (i.e. verification from Tag Heuer) that Aquaracers with these features (bracelet pins and tube) are definitely fake? If not, it's basically Watchfinder vs Jamesbizs isn't it?

·Well, that plus the lume pip, one of the easiest tells of fake WAY Aquaracers. But yes of course we dont have proof for this particular one and I am sure the next person who buys it will enjoy it no matter if it is genuine or not.

·Glad you picked up a brand new 40mm from AD in the end, at least you can sleep comfortably, knowing you have a sexy genuine TAG Heuer Aquaracer
