exactly.....good eye. I shot a message to him asking for the numbers on the case back and the bracelet deployment. He's "selling the watch for a friend of his and doesn't have it there but knows it's came from a very reputable AD in the area and knows it authentic".

hahahahaha.

people really are pathetic sometimes, but hey, he's right, its definately an authentic watch, no doubt about it: has a face and hands, keeps the time, goes on the wrist, even looks like a watch etc.

but as for being a gen TAG, no way.

How the hell can you guys tell the date wheel color on those crappy pics? In the front view the date wheel does not show well but it does not look white. In the pic of the watch in the box it looks white but that could be just the white numbers showing up due to the camera flash. The guy has 300 sales and a 100% feedback score so I doubt he's a scammer. The box looks like a gen at least. I just don't think you can call it either way with those pics.

"selling the watch for a friend of his and doesn't have it there but knows it's came from a very reputable AD in the area and knows it authentic".- sure buddy.

because if you zoom in heaps on the first pic, you can clearly see, white box with black line, obviously white datewheel with black numbers, plus, do you really think that a camera flash happens to make a perfect white square from a number in white?

The guys story is sure fishy. I took the pic and even in photoshop after tweeking it I could not determine what color the date wheel was. There is a big honkin reflection of the dude's finger right over the date wheel. If you look close you can see both his hands and the camera in the crystal. I sure as hell would not bid on it with those pics.

another sign might be the manual, AFAIK, the TAG Manual out these days says caliber 3,4,5 and 7 now. this one only says 3,5 7.

either way i asked him 'im looking for the white datewheel version, is this one it?" either way if he answers we should know for sure.

Datewheel looks black to me....The 8 in white takes up a lot of space in the window, making in look "white."

I think...? Hard to spot a fake with such crappy photos.
