How to spot fake Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1

Tag Heuer, pronounced: (tag hoyer), founded in 1860 by Edouard Heuer in St-Imier, Switzerland. The company was purchased by Techniques d’Avant Garde in 1985, when the Heuer brand became TAG Heuer. In 1999, TAG Group sold TAG Heuer to French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH.

In recent years replicas have become a growing problem for both the company and the consumer. Below are a few ways to spot fake Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 1 watches.

.

1. Check the overall quality. Check the letters on the dial, where the letters should be crisp and clear printing. The edges should not be blurred and no misaligned.
2. The bezel width of the real Tag Heuer is thin. So the fake one will have wider bezel.
3. The red hand of the sub dial should extend just pass the hash line on the sub dial if it’s real. If it not pass the hash line, then it’s fake.
4. For the back case, it should have a clear back. The visible gear should have holes. While the small gear should have 6 holes and large gear should have 4 small hole and 4 large holes.
5. The adjustment indicator on the back should be check too. The back plate below indicator should be made of machine turned finish all the wat to edges. Machine turned finish is very difficult to do in small areas, so the fake watch will leave this part.
6. Check water surface tension on the crystal. A smeared film of water will almost always pull together on crystals made from sapphire because the surface is smooth.
