Gen or Rep? Need help from Tag Experts

[J-Auz]

What do you guys think...Gen or Rep? I know these pictures pretty much suck, but it was all I could get ahold of right now. What do yall think?? Any input would help.

Hmm... First thought is that it is gen, hevy used though! Correct subdials ( no 24-hour), pearl looks good, bracelet looks ok.

I see that it is four hands on the centre post, is it some kind of a split-chrono?

I guess it is the same movement as is used in the Indy 500 (rep and gen), a Swatch and numerous other watches.. The movement is not very expensive, so it is possible that it was made a rep with all correct subdial functions, however I have never seen one.

If the overall impression of price and seller seemed ok, I could have jumped on this.

Hi,

aren't the LINK links supposed to be independant, I mean each link split in 2, right in the middle ?

A shot of the back may help too.

I guess genuine. It's a quartz, right?

The bracelet looks 98% like mine. (Except my logo is bolder)

So, 2 solutions :

- either I have a close to perfect copy

- or this Tag is a rep

As for the watch itself, I'm unable to say, there are too many TAG models.

Tell us who's right ?

Oh, BTW, here's the exact illustration of what I meant with independant links :

In our case, it's obviously not.

I definitely vote for a REP.

Gen Link Quartz Chrono.

Arrow hand at center is chrono minutes. the plain center seconds hand is chrono seconds. Subdial at 2 is 1/10 seconds, subdial at 6 is watch seconds, and subdial at 10 is chrono hours. All subdials are correct as is the date font and position.

Got the watch in the mail over the weekend from the ebay auction. It is gen. The links look like they are all one piece but they really are two. One of the posts above said that it was a rep because of this. I think the links are so well made they fit together and look solid. Nice and heavy watch, especially for a Tag. Serial number is scratched out so I am betting the watch is hot. My very first nice watch was a Tag professional 200 I got for a high school graduation. Had gen rolex's and omega's since then. Never thought Id get another Tag, but this one feels so solid and big, unlike the professional 200. Very impressed with this Tag!

Glad you are happy with it, there can be found some nice deals on eBay once in a while... It is a cool quartz-watch!

At least I learnt from this thread that the rep bracelets are very good
