This doesn't look quite right to me - in quite a few ways. Here's a picture of the one I used to own (which was definitely genuine!) for comparison. Note the position of the hour markers in relation to the subdials. Also, the caseback should have the model reference on it. Yours doesn't. Also, look at your date window misalignment issue - not something you'd expect from something that's supposedly "Swiss made"

Thank you for the comparison. Yes I also find it odd in a few ways. Your Formula 1 looks so perfect btw馃槻

Biggest one is the incorrect spelling on the back: "spphire crystal". 馃榿

Damn, that's a one big problem. You have a good eye sir!馃憤

Pics are a bit blurry but I thinks it's O.K.

Besides, that final picture says "100% authentic" so what are you worried about? 馃槈

Also, I'm slightly confused if that movement shot is of the same watch or not. At the very least, the seller must have taken it at a different point in time because it doesn't appear to match the other two shots.

yes, seller told me that he took the shot last week when he replaced the battery.
The upper left dirt mark on the 1st picture and the upper right dirt mark on the 2nd picture, I think it's similar
well thanks, I will post it soon as I got it. Will be my 2nd tag after the 1500 GMT

I just saw this on Chrono24 and immediately thought 'FAKE!'....

Basically because it didn't look familiar, and given the amount of time I spend looking at TAGs... but, it is certainly a model, here's the official render.

Still something looks off, but I can't put my finger on it. But then a fake Calibre S is unlikely...

Not sure if someone would pay 100$ to post a fake on chrono24.
Looks more like a burnt out terrible photo.

Yeah I'm sure it's not.. just at face value it looks like those photos you see of really terrible fakes.

Movement looks good, this is the movement in my quartz aquaracer, bought from an AD in about 2008:
