Well, here's the thing with modern TAG Heuer's. After Rolex, TAG-Heuers are the most frequently counterfeited brand of watches in the world. TAG-Heuer strongly warns against buying their watches on the internet [and from "Gray-Market"] retailers specifically for this reason. Putting a cheap movement into a case and selling it for a couple hundred bucks is a quick way to turn a profit which can be done "off-the-Books" and the money funneled into drugs, terrorism or other illicit activities.

Personally, I'd try to influence you to head for an AD as it's the least risky path to not be taken advantage of. It's really hard to tell much from one small picture and the quality of the faked models is good enough that it's often VERY difficult to distinguish what's real and what's fake.
