Counterfeit Watchers Discussion Forum

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.

Re: Tag Heuer Link Tiger Woods Edition

: information about this version of TAG watch. There was some
: discussion on this board about this version but no picture
: posted showing a real versus fake. I am including a picture and
: if anyone could give me any insight into whether this is a real

Dear Brad

I have the "same" model bought at an official TAG dealer very recently with all papers as i.e. a registered number of the edition (just 5500 have been made from that style/edition). From the pictures you've provided I would say you have probably a nice watch but not a TAG of that series. It looks to my like a replica, which does not mean it is a bad watch or pure present. Having seen replicas at the Internet as well it is astonishing how much money you have to pay for that stuff, often made in Japan - which is not a bad reference for quality for watches either...

Cheers
Gerd
