Tag Heuer - Is this a Fake??

[haventahybrid]

Hi all,

From the look and feel I don't think its genuine but hey, its something to talk about

Some very wise folk out there, what do you think? I have used a genuine tag to give an idea of scale..

Fake. I had a similar one years ago. Equally poor quality.

It feels about as refined as a bit of sea fishing tackle.... Thanks though!

Any chance of a picture of the clasp?

Sorry to tell you this, but I think that's a fake.

I had one just like that in about 1991. I paid £10 for it.

Don't be sorry! It isn't even mine.

Whole shops full of these in Turkey. Fake as a fake thing.

has it got the certificate of supply from the dealer?. I have one similar in 1997 stamped A. Looky Looky & Sons, Authorised Dealer, Beach Front, Playa Las Das Americas,

Could be a genuine fake?

Yup, think my step-sister paid about 5 quid in the mid 90s for mine.

Lasted about 5 years before the crown fell off. So pretty good compared to a genuine in that regard.

Think it's still in a box somewhere.

Looks to be intact and working.
Is it accurate?

If yes, deffo fake.

The easiest thing is the different coloured lume. Any recognised reasonable brand (from Sekonda upwards) would have matching lume. The reason is that the hands probably have actual lume and the markers just have green paint. Quite common on very cheap Chinese watches from brands you've never heard of.
