How to authenticate a TAG Heuer watch?

　　How to authenticate a TAG Heuer watch? Let us take a look below.

　　Authenticating a TAG Heuer watch relies on the following 3 aspects:

　　1. Craftsmanship. Genuine watches feature exquisite and delicate workmanship, tight and flexible joints, smooth and rounded corners without sharp edges, and even, bright electroplating. The text on the front and back is clear.

　　2. Packaging. Genuine watches come with exceptionally meticulous packaging, a very attractive watch box, and beautifully produced instructions or warranty cards inside; replica watches are comparatively crude and may even lack such packaging altogether.

　　3. Provenance. Genuine watches come with an official receipt, and the selling price will not differ too much from the retail price. If you can buy a TAG Heuer watch for just a few hundred or a thousand pounds, it is definitely a replica.

　　If you are still unable to verify the authenticity of the watch yourself, take it to a watch shop and ask a watchmaker to inspect the movement (as the difference between genuine and fake mainly lies in the movement), and the truth will soon become clear.

　　Additional notes:

　　Genuine pieces come with product descriptions and serial numbers, which you can check online. The moulded steel crystal used by Tag Heuer is difficult to replicate; currently, only replicas from Taiwan come closest in quality to genuine watches. The sapphire crystal is also one of the key identification features: although ordinary sapphire and that used in genuine watches are quite similar, they are very easy to distinguish through professional appraisal. Check whether the bracelet bears the Tag Heuer logo and the Geneva hallmark, and ensure that the bracelet and font colours do not fade or peel after exposure to water or sweat.
