Tag Heuer Calibre 36 on Craigslist - Real or Fake?

Recommended Posts

SirDomino

Guy has no box, no papers, no receipt, and claims it was a gift.

 

So is it real? or a replica?

Don't worry, I won't ever buy a watch outside of these forums, but it is fun to see what is offered for sale online... :lol:

 

I personally think it is a replica as the wording around the 6 o'clock dial is in lowercase instead of all upper case the "1/10th of a second" wording.

 

Plus the date window is in the wrong position and the date is flipped sideways.

 

Hash marks and font on the Caliper are also wrong.

 

The hands also look the wrong shape as well as the lume on them.

Am I right?

If you go by the gen picture the black ring in the crown should be wider to. I would say fake.

So is this the same A7750 Movement one that Robert and the other dealer sell? I believe there is only this one, and the cheaper quartz versions, correct?

 

I guess technically this is the best replica of the watch, right?

It appears to be a 7750 version, I can see the blue screws on the movement through the caseback.

 

I'm not sure if there are various grades of this replica aside from the quartz and one offered by TDs here.

Ya, I'm unsure either, I know when I was looking for a replica of this I was told that there weren't many options. The A7750 version, the high quality Quartz that were similar to the A7750 version in quality, and really horrible cheap quartz ones. So I was told by the various trusted dealers, as those were the only real options.

 

The big issue I guess is the Movement being unreliable. Is this one worse? Seconds at 6? etc?

Fakey

the 3 o' clock subdial font is wrong too.

Sadly, this is one of the better reps out there.

How much has he trying to sell it for? haha

$3,000 - After I told him it was a replica he was surprised and lowered the price to $1,000. :unsure:

 

I explained to him that this rep sells between $50 - $300 depending on quality, used. Oh well.
