There is a possibility, yes - it's a very small chance however. I'm not personally familiar with the model, but having looked at a lot of WAF121x variations online the only differences on the crown I've seen are due to aftermarket polishing.
If you show the listing for the crown to your watchmaker, they'll be able to make an informed decision - based on having your watch in their hands!
I'm Looking at buying a Tag Heuer Formula 1 Indy 500, stainless steel chronograph.
The watch has a blue checker board design dial that cant find anywhere on the net.
Got a box but no paper work.
The model number is XCAZ2011 which seems off when I look on the Tag site anybody point me at a model lookup up site..
S SalazaarI know it's an old post but it might be useful for everyone: if the reference is X+correct reference (which is the case here), it means it's a prototype. It was made by TAG Heuer for events, shows, marketing pictures, etc.
So it's more or less a real piece, not a fake. But TH will never repair it in case you have an issue.
I've seen plenty of fakes with X+ a correct reference though, so I wouldn't be so sure about that.
