ofcourse you cant really feel the bracelet until after you have bought it, but most importantly, TAG heuer bracelets are not cheap to replace - you are looking at $400 on ebay for a Carrera steel bracelet. the links are smooth, they flow, the polish is brilliant, and they are very sturdy. I've felt the difference between a gen steel bracelet, and a rep. If you cant read the movement, it says calibre 16, however, this watch, the Grand Carrera which utilizes a few movements, but a calibre 16 is not one of them, the Grand Carrera utilizes a calibre 36, 17, 8 or 6. Recessed or wrong colour date wheel - i.e the date is not flush with the dial. Genuine TAG movements will not have blue screws unless COSC certified, and the rotor will always be polished like the middle picture, TAG does not use the lowest grade unpolished movement.Ĭommonly, no dial will be correct 100%, so here are a few common faults with fake TAG dials: Some dealers still offer the movements without the blue screws of course. Originally the first TAG reps that came out featured the correct silver screws, but somewhere along the lines it changed to blue. The only problem, TAG Heuer dont have many COSC Watches. So whats this got to do with TAG Heuer and reps? well apparently the Asian 7750 manufacturers like to rip off the best quality, so indeed they started using blue screws to give the appearance of a COSC certified movement. Lowest - plain rotor, plain parts unpolished Here are three different grades, from lowest to highest (sorry no valjoux expert so not sure how many grades there actually are) The difference aesthetically is easy to tell, the lowest grade movements are plain, and not very pretty to look at, and the highest grade movements, are very detailed, polished, and most importantly, have blue screws! This movement comes in a few different grades, from a basic automatic, up to COSC standards. Most of TAG's chronograph movements utilize a re badged Valjoux 7750 movement. Incorrect movement numberĪlright - Lets Get Started! Firstly, what the hell is up with those blue screws.:facepalm:.To begin, I'm going to talk about the biggest spots that are common among most TAGs that will help you identify if it's a gen or not.
These are based on mine and others' own observations, images used are taken from Google, for anyone trying to sue me for copyright when using your 'replica' watch photos.well I'm not too sure that will work in your favour in court. So I normally find a lot of people can have difficulty when trying to spot a fake TAG Heuer watch, and this is mostly because they are repped so well, but hopefully this thread will shed some light on the more common models and how to spot the fakes.
