Can any of you gentlemen ID this watch? A friend of mine owns it and insists it's gen. However, I am inwardly skeptical. He seems to know very little about the watch, which to me seems strange for someone who apparently spent quite a bit of money on it. Furthermore, it left something to be desired, in its feel, as if lighter than I would have expected. Admittedly, I am no authority on Tag Heuer. I can make out where it says 'Formula 1' on the face, but it doesn't resemble the F1 Tags I have seen before.

What say you? Gen? Cheap rep? Fantasy?

I used to own a GEN F1, and that looks rep. But be aware that some F1 reps are spot on. Down to the quartz movement.

To my eye, no real differences from one of the photos posted by ThinkBachs. If rep, it appears to be an accurate one. Condition aside, any tells or inaccuracies that you guys see?

How common are these Tag F1 reps?

Depends. Outside of the forums, they are quite common. They don't seem to be as popular here. Part of the reason is that they can be bought, in GEN form for very affordable prices. The last two I had, I purchased at Costco for under $600. I think a good rep sells for mid $100's, if I am not mistaken.

calling it real, haven't seen a quarts movement like that (big date complication) in any rep

Yeah - I think the big date quartz is still not repped. I'm gonna say real.
