Hello all, I am a LONG time lurker, looking for a little bit of advice.

My friend GC8 may end up posting this same question later.

Anyway I am interested in this watch but I want to check its genuine first.





Thanks in anticipation James :thumb:

Can I ask what you're looking at to ascertain that its the genuine item?

ive looked at some of the fakes and they look exactly the same, I was expecting a reply saying you have to take it to a Tag Heuer specialist and have the back removed etc.

TIA smile

The chronograph pushers are normally a dead giveaway. I'm looking at this on my phone, but is the date wheel a bit off ?

What's making you think it's not what it claims to be ? The price ?

Nothing is, I am just being cautious, he is a nice guy and he wants to use it as a PX towards a Porsche that I am selling.

date box is dead centre, or looks that way, going further into the date box, ive seen other watches listed as genuine with a black background and this is white.

Looks real to me too smile It's also the Limited Edition Python Monaco, hence the unusual strap that is included!

It's pretty difficult to price, as there are not a lot of Python Chronos available on the second hand market. Also, I'm not entirely certain of it's desirability. £1800-2000 for a mint example with box and papers? So a few hundred quid above a standard S/H Monaco Chrono, taking into account rarity and dial layout/python strap ...

Although I'd personally see what others think - I might be missing a trick here! smile How much is it up for?

ETA: I believe list price for the CW2114 was about £2570.00
