    Hi everyone,

    Just wondering what the easiest way to spot a fake is ?

    I’m doing a big clean in the house and found a watch that was given to me about 20 years ago.

    I’m 99% sure it is a fake but just on the off chance I would like to know for sure.

    It is a Tag Heuer with the code on the back that reads 962 213.

    Miraculously it still has power and the correct time !!! I was shocked to see that. The date and day of the week isn’t right though ...

    Unsure how to upload a picture on boards but can try to figure it out if that helps people?

    If it has power then it’s an automatic movement I am guessing. Edit: just seen you said correct time also, def battery so!

    Host a few images here and then post the links so we can view. Couple of the lads here know their tags so should be able to help.

    Fake I am afraid. Tag don’t have an annual calendar like that. Especially not a quartz one.
