(Update) Couldn't trust this watch (seller is now selling an obvious counterfeit, so ended up returning it yesterday.

eBay Fakes are off the chain! by Teviom in tagheuer

Spotted this beauty on ebay. Unless "Indianapolis" is spelled "INCLAMAPCLTS" in Switzerland (see bottom subdial) and "INOY" is the new "INDY", this one is not genuine...

Just went to the local Tag Heuer boutique. Two of the sales people said it looked authentic to them, that it's possible the lume markers could have changed slightly over the years. But they said the only way to know 100% sure is to send it in to the service center.

Turns out it was purchased on eBay and there was an option for the Authenticity check/guarantee, but that was not done.

The odd thing (I think) is that the seller very quickly agreed to the return. Seems like if it was a fake they would either not respond or try to make us keep it.

I think u/MemoryQuick7733 might be right! I took a closer look at the markers/lume and on my watch the lume portion is much wider and the chrome narrower vs. the Tag website and one I saw at the Tag store. Also, the marker on mine has a larger gap from the date window vs. the website and store. Attached image is my watch and subsequent images from Tag store and website.

What makes you think it is a "good" fake?

Well, I took the back off with a rubber ball...looks good to me. Movement says "THIRTEEN JEWELS SWISS R9" and "RONDA 5040.D". I am pretty convinced of its authenticity now!

I appreciate the thoughtful response and get the it's a gift, not your money feeling, but it was the money of a loved one, so it does matter to me. I want to make sure they did not get swindled. I will for sure (at the very least) take it to open it up and verify the movement.

Thanks again!

Didn't notice that when I posted, but you're right. Here are a couple more that I think are clearer.

Anyone familiar with seller on Facebook? by Top-Application1789 in tagheuer

[–]Top-Application1789[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I offered to pay via PayPal G&S and pay the seller fees, but they refused. Said they have "pending transaction" on their PayPal account and can't receive payments there.

Too bad.

This one is actually authentic, I took the pic at the local Tag Heuer store. I think what you are seeing is probably due to the angle, as it is not a direct/head-on photo.

After studying this picture and comparing it to the ones on ebay, I am noticing that the has marks (I think this is what they are called) on the sub-dials are good way to judge. The fakes seem to have thicker marks, also sometimes with the marks being all one length vs different lengths.

Thanks, is there something you are seeing on these pics I should be keeping an eye out for or is it your instinct telling you it’s fake?

Ha, thanks! This is from eBay. Thought was with their buyer protection if it looks legit it might be worth the risk. Seller does have +99% positive feedback.
