Need some help with this TAG!

[abbott26]

Hello everyone. I need some help with this Tag Heuer. I took it to a quality jeweler that sells tags and they said it could possibly be a older European model? Is that even possible? It says it is a LINK Calibre 36. It is an automatic and has the serial number as 187963. I have read a lot of forums about deciphering fakes from authentic and so far it matches with the authentic ones except I cant find anything like it online. The hands light up when it is in the dark, all the [censored]s work great and it seems to be of great quality. It still has the plastic covering on the back face. There is also a little button on the left side of the watch that I am not sure what it is for. You can see what I am talking about in one of the pictures. I have posted some pictures and hope someone can help me out. Thanks
