Hi, I have a tag heuer grand carrera calibre 36. And i want to make it look genuine-ish. Btw what is the movement they use in the gen? Is it ETA? I want to buy a ETA and the gen dials, hand, glass and etc. Is it possible? Cus i don't like mine. Btw does the white color ring which we can turn, is it possible to change? Thanks

no on all of those.

Grand Carrera uses a inhouse (well bought) movement from TH/Seiko lol.

This I believe is not totally correct. GC36 uses El Primo Zenith movement. The other GC models I believe are some sort of ETA not 100% sure though.

More info on WUS

Mine looks fake-ish... Mine doesnt have chronograph, the glass crystal is very blue-ish making the dial look brown-ish or watever colour they called... Im pretty sure i bought the canal street... Cus i bought it at flea market...

Um, probably. For about 3 or 4 hundred bucks.
Just get a nice aftermarket strap for it instead.

The strap is the easy part.
Please don't get hung up on getting gen everything on your watch. It will be very frustrating and extremely expensive.
