Tag Heuer Formula 1. CAZ1010. This is exactly the same style of watch. I am looking at a Pawn Shop find in pretty darn good shape, albeit a used example.

A nice exterior cleaning wouldn’t hurt .And it look slike someone daily wore it for work for a year or so. I’m searching the net but can’t really find any values. Ebay I’m not confident in . What would a true re-sale be on something like this? I’m looking at $500 from the pawn shop (it has sat a while and it’s down to that) to wear it for a bit, and sell it on. Is a decent profit possible?

How would you confirm that it is legit and not a counterfit?

Check Chrono24 and Watchfinder to see what you can flip it for.

I just can’t bring myself to fathom that much for a watch with a rubber strap

So far appears legit. But im sure a trip to a tag dealer may clear up questions with Box  and pillow included. So ideas on actual used value for a real one folks are paying?

Then how about this Breitling self winder that I wore about a year ? I bought it for $35 in Bejing and had I paid $50 it would of come with a Breitling box and warranty card.

I would say u nless you take the back off and you know what you are looking at, it would be hard to know if it is legit. Here’s mine.

Came to say that and when checking the model i realized that its a quartz movement, while its not ugly i wouldn’t put 500€ on it even if it was authentic.

As a comparison, here is a replica of this model that has no real giveaway and use a similar (if not identical) movement, making it harder to be sure its a fake by just checking the movement .

Even on automatic movement, high quality reps have in most cases decorated movements that looks like the original one, its harder to mimic for watches that are supposed to use movements that are not off-the-shelf (for example, the Rolexes) but if you are not an expert you can be easily fooled.

Partially unrelated, my latest watch, a HKED ED42 in sunburst silver that has a manual chronograph movement and that cost 380$ brand new :

It’s about the going price based on /r/watchexchange but you’ll never make money.

Yes it is, there are forums dedicated to this “ kind” of watches (you can search for “RWI” and “RWG” for example), also including “ frankenwatches” which are hybrid with both genuine and aftermarket parts (which is not unlawful as long as you don’ t use fake parts that have logos/markings from the brand ).

Would you have thought two months ago you would be writing the post on the Airlines business you did today?
