Zac,
I'm not trying to close down any discussion, simply joining in.
This is an open public forum and I was just offering some advice.
Sorry if it isn't what you wanted to read.
The French made Heuers are well documented, and I'm sure a lot of people have paid high sums for fake watches.
A note of warning about any advice you may get from Tag Heuer. They too sometimes get it wrong. There was a lot of turmoil at the time of TAG acquiring Heuer, so records weren't a high priority. It is not uncommon for Tag Heuers Swiss 'vintage' department to seek the help of members of this forum when researching models. I myself have worked briefly with their Heritage department on verifying model details.
This forum has some of the worlds most respected Heuer collectors.
