    Happy that the seller was not an obvious "bad un" ..... I have spent 15 mins looking at the goods, and whilst I'd need to do more research, i.e to check if there have been historical changes to this marking, it does not look good.:(

    OK..... Lets assume these are genuine tags ;) and to keep things simple its always best to study a specific, in this case the wee arrowhead above the 12.

    The Tag website where it is very detailed......

    At Amazon.....

    Try any reputable online seller and look at the wee arrowhead.

    Then look at our seller and draw your own conclusions.

    I agree completely Tojo, the straps dont even look of a quality either!!

    Maybe this seller will get NARUd if many people complain??? :D

    Selling fakes is one thing but charging £300+ for them and trying to convince people they are 100% genuine is completely ripping people off!!

    I am not an expert on watches, but i have a smallish collection of tags and brietlings. Looking through this sellers auction i would be more inclined to say that these watches are for real, the fake market for these type of watches (ie older models, some very old) isnt that great, as most of the stuff that comes out of far east is more aimed at the latest model out.

    As far as prices, these dont seem too high for what your getting.

    Maybe contact some of his previous customers and ask how they feel about watches they have bought.

    I would guess by looking at his other sale items ie dvds/odds n ends that this seller is buying watches that have been traded in and is just making a living by cleaning them up and selling on.

    No experience of them but got a couple of Tags and these look like fakes to me. Someone has mentioned a seller on this board before that sells genuine watches at decent prices, maybe have a search, was a while ago.


    Can any body remember any details of this? I am looking for a TAG - but not to pay full price - not looking for a fake though. I've looked at 20 pages of results.... with no success. I've searched under 'watch'. Even a name would help..


    Had another look? Is it Blitzwatches?
