Tag Heuer Grand Carrera with solid back case? Please help
Hello guys, I'm a newbie so my question is about a Grand Carrera Calibre 17. I could not find one Grand Carrera online so far with a case back like this (pictures attached, see the back of the watch). Please let me know what you think, is it a fake or this particular one in the picture might be original? I don't own the watch nor I have it in my hand. Just the pictures and quite willing to buy it, it's thru paypal so I'm not really worried about my money since I can always get the refund back. I just wonder if Grand Carrera ever came with a solid back case. Please help, and many thanks

It's fake. They did not come out with a solid case back. Almost all inexpensive replicas have the solid case like that. There should be two sapphire windows with the stainless steel bar across the middle. There are many other things wrong with that watch as well....the bracelet is wrong, clasp wrong, color on the dial off, incorrect screws on the back, etc. If you buy it, you will be going through PayPal to get your money back....guaranteed.

Thank you all for the replies. The watch was a fake post as couple days later the add was taken down I remember. Just thought I should mention it. Thanks, Happy Holidays!
