Hi folks. I am considering posting for sale a Tag I bought used on an online auction. I don't recall which one it wqas from as I frequented many before 3 1/2 kids. I bought a pair actually, the other I traded in towards a Speedy. I was offered the same for this one, but decided my to keep it for my wife. She wore nearly daily for about four years.
I never considered it could be a rep until I got involved here, and not having any expertis myself I would not want to represent it in a sale.
I estimate the case to be about 34mm. It has a gray dial and orange bezal. The bezal turns counter-clockwise only and is very tight. The pearl is missing but appears to be well centered. The numbering on the bezel is crisp but somewhat faded. The print on the dial reads professional 200 meters quartz. The lume is green. It keeps excellent time.
I am looking for feedback or tips on this watche's authenticity and value. The one in tade was about $300, same size but black bezel and white dial. This one has a small scratch that I couldn't see but it shows on the photo. It can be felt with my fingernail, but hard to locate.
If this miscategorized please move acoordingly.
Thanks

Looks good to me. I'm not sure this model was ever repped but even then, this one is authentic as far as I can see.

As for the value, I've seen similar models in better condition for ~$300 so I'd price it a bit less than that.

Good luck!

Thanks, I was considering $225, anything less I would probably just keep it. Got Myself into a pickle and wife wants to keep her new reps over this one, go figure.

I'll await a few responses more befor posting for sale.

Its real just by looking at the quartz movement.
Its worth around 200-400. I say 400 if you have the box and its in good condition.
If it were me I buff/ re-brush it and sell on ebay
