Is this eBay Tag Carrera a FAKE?

Hmmmm....maybe so. But isn't it true that these calibre 16's are a 7750 movement so even then Asian 7750 inside the reps would be very close in comparison?

Ok not convinced?

On a Gen The 'Geneva' stripe is centred on the rotor which distinguishes it from a rep.

For example-

GEN #1


GEN #2


EBAY
as poor as that pic is it is clear the stripe is centred


INTIME REP of a Calibre model

Agh ok, I've never actually understood the Geneve stripe differences between a rep and gen so thanks for clarifying this for me.

What are the other tell-tale signs for tag Carreras specifically? Aside from the blue screws in the movement etc

The subdials on the gen are more centred in relation to the overall dial it's a micro fraction but once you see it you can't un-see it though I love my 1887 regardless..

sorry im only seeing this now. thanks for the tips! you're correct though, i love my tag! whats next on your list??
