David1982 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Hi guys take a look at this tag on eBay... 271418308585. I've kindly told the owner but he's saying is a genuine so I reported it to eBay and they have done nothing about it, so he must of convinced them is gen. Come on guys get on to eBay and get it removed. Sorry about the lack of a link. Me bad on interweb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gB. 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Why do you state it's fake? FleaBay must have taken into consideration he's been a member since 2008 with 100% feedback, and one of his most recent positive feedbacks was for another Tag watch sale. Buy the seller not the watch, as the saying goes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

narikaa 129 Posted March 11, 2014 Unless you are the rights holder for TAG watches FeeBay wont do anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David1982 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Do you think it's gen? I would say 100% rep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David1982 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Some poor person is going spunk a lot of money on this watch. I got the same watch mine was £220 from WI. Bad times for that person Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevok2305 1 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) However, the original DOES have blue screws, plus if you zoom on the ebay pic it does have the arrow as on original. Not saying it is gen but think fleabay will give him the benefit of the doubt Edited March 11, 2014 by stevok2305 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BentleySharp 0 Posted March 11, 2014 All in all, I'd say the ebay sale is quite well done for a scam. Lots of information. Crisp and clear photos. Longtime seller with %100 positive feedback. He's got a Tag branded box, tags on the watch, and claims to have a 2 year warranty. I don't know enough about Tag Heuers to say whether or not it's a fake, but if it is, it's very convincing.

stevok2305 1 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Whichever way, I certainly ain't buyin it! Plus I just noticed, the manual says Professional GOLF watch? Edited March 11, 2014 by stevok2305 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted March 11, 2014 Quick google search of that serial number shows the same one (282204) on a few different models of carrera watches including some stainless steel ones. Highly doubt Tag Heuer would put that SN on multiple watches. I say fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BentleySharp 0 Posted March 11, 2014 I can see one two.......... Compare the movements in these two pictures (the second and larger pic is from the Ebay sale site. Both are labeled as "Tag Heuer Calibre 36" but there are some very noticable diferences between the two. Maybe it's just because of the angle of the photos, but then again, maybe not... Placement of the gears looks different and the color of the screw to the immediate right of "Tag Heuer" on the movement, for starters... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See, it's all a learning experience, pick it apart if you can, if you can't it's gen.............if you can then someone's fucked up.......dealers can make honest mistakes too. Agreed. I was wondering if the guy actually knows it's a fake. Not defending a scammer in any way but it could be he doesn't know. Still doesn't help the buyer who gets stuck with it though.

I was wondering if the guy actually knows it's a fake. Not defending a scammer in any way but it could be he doesn't know. Still doesn't help the buyer who gets stuck with it though. Well, there's one way to be sure. Contact the seller and present him with all the information we've amassed in this thread in the past 30 minutes (Blue screws, Different gears from gen Calibre 36 movement, Funky date window, etc. etc.) and if he is an honest seller who made an honest mistake, then he will take down the auction on his own. If he doesn't, then you know the score with him. The evidence is pretty damning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
