I only ask because I recently got a fake Tag Heuer Monaco, Steve McQueen jobbie, wifey wouldnt let me spend the money on a real one.

I just cant believe how perfect it is, every little tiny detail, all the markings, even on the back and the clasp, perfect scale, everything. I have to say I wasnt expecting much, but this is so good its as good as real. I had a good look on the web and came across some really crap ones, so I am well chuffed with this. I even went into town and actually compared it with a real one too, couldnt tell the difference.

But is it legal?

Btw, it tells the correct time twice every day too

The only downside is that it is on the steel bracelet (again, very good accurate copy) rather than the blue crocodile strap. I am now on the look out for a blue leather strap in 23mm.

ordered a watch from prime replica 19 may still no watch has arrived. e mailed them to ask where my watch
is there reply your cheque has bounced which is utter bollocks. phoned hsbc and they said send them a statement of my account to prove the cheque has cleared if still no results tey will investigate prime dodgey replicas bank account. ihave bought loads of stuff on the net and this is the first time
ive had any bother really has under mined my confidence about buying anything else online.


Sorry to hear that, I ordered mine on a Monday, and it arrived on the Friday, paid via Paypal. As for counterfeiting losing the 'original' millions, yes if its a CD, but do you honestly think that when someone buys a fake Rolex for £99 thats another lost sale on a real one at £9,999.

balmoral what are you on about . all im saying in my post is i have paid for goods i have not received. infact i want my money back and they can shove their watch up their fuc*ing arse dodgey tw*ts.


Sorry martin, the last bit of my reply was to what unrepentant had said, not what you had posted, guess it came out wrong. I hope you trace your money and get it sorted, its a big shame, my experience of them couldnt be more opposite to yours, I am happy with my purchase.

I want a genuine early Steve McQueen Le Mans Tag Heuer Monaco, but until then, this is my Monaco...
