Bwoo 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Hi, I am lusting after Tag Heuer Monaco Calibre 24 or just a standard Classic Blue version. I know nothing about replicas as have always bought genuine item before. is it legal to buy and what is the probability of being scammed? is there any way to verify any of your claims? I really hope so as I can't stretch to £10k for a watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onionbag 1 Posted January 28, 2013 I see that you're in the UK, so no worries there over illegalities, altho' we've had a number of customs seizures in the last few months. Plenty of UK members here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bwoo 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks for your replies. one other quick question - on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being pants and 10 being stellar, how do replicas rate compared to original? I am not so bothered about timekeeping, just the feel and look. Ta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fetasigma 0 Posted January 28, 2013 it also depends on how finiky you are about details.....some are pretty good copies that have little bitty things off that stand out like a sore thumb to us rep and gen guys but would never be noticed by anyone else......the higher the price the better the quality too, but there are some good cheap buys out there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAGster 5 Posted January 28, 2013 If your are looking for TAG Heuer Monaco replicas, your search results will be very narrow due to the fact that model is not, let say, very popular in the replica game. I think the most reps available you´ll find are quartz. I started on this game by looking also for a nice TAG Heuer Monaco rep (that´s where my nickname comes from) and I ended up getting an LS model for a good price (cheapie) from one of our TD, it looked ok for me at that time but as I got more involved on this game I can now say that watch is not a great rep. Anyways I still like it, it looks good on the wrist and sometimes receive some compliments. If you want a better rep, then my advice would be to check PAMs, Rolexes and Omegas, but if you still want a nice TAG Heuer, then there is an ultimate Carrera rep. Cheers mate and welcome to the nut house!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustynail240 0 Posted January 28, 2013 Some of the TD's will give an honest opinion as to weather the replica is great or not, also the photo's posted on the website are of the same watch you will receive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardMiami 4 Posted January 28, 2013 This watch, on your 1 to 10 scale, is a 0 - it doesn't exist. the tell is so wrong, you can see it a mile away! However, it is one of the most popular reps on this forum... those of us who own it, just don't care that AP never made the diver with a white face! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
