The largest independent, non-commercial, consumer-oriented resource on the Internet for owners, collectors and enthusiasts of fine wristwatches. Online since 1998. | |||||||

A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: Hank,
: I was out for a couple of days....sorry for the
: late reply....
: Although there are a couple of things that
: concern me about your TAG, it is extremely
: difficult to tell if your watch is genuine
: or not.
: First....I do not think it is a CAC1111....it
: appears to be a CAC1110
: Second....The case looks too small....the
: reason I say this is because the bezel goes
: all the way to the edge of the case....very
: unlike any F1 TAG
: Third....The bezel seems to have
: "Shallow" notches in between the
: numbers....the photos of TAG F1 that I have
: seen have deeper notches
: Because of these reasons....I am inclined to
: say that you watch is either an old model F1
: or a replica...I honestly believe that it is
: not a replica....the other features of the
: watch are too accurate and just like the
: gen....however I cannot say for sure....the
: only way you can know for sure is to take
: the watch to an Authorized TAG dealer and
: have one of their watch smiths open the case
: back and inspect the movement....
: Sorry I could not nail this one down for
: you....it is an awesome looking Chrono....I
: am thinking about getting one now....
