Fake TAG Heuer watch on ebay - trying to convince the seller to pull

Hi all,

Pretty obvious fake here but the seller continues to say it "belongs to an old and honest gentleman.."

Anyway, here it is. Please flag and post comments of what you think.

Its pretty obvious given the model number engraved on the back is completely wrong.

I suspect watch is genuine, BUT I agree its the incorrect back.
Would want to see movement photo before reporting
However I got NO idea what this means
"The main section of the watch works but for some reason will not connect to the face of the watch. It just started doing that too.”

This fake is based off the Kirium series. Totally different dial configuration. Also missing "swiss made" on the dial. The overall finish of the watch is poor. So many things wrong with it.

see below for the genuine piece.

Appears poor quality. I am not a tag guy though I know there range is expansive, some really nice watches others rather cheap. The lack of Swiss made on the dial makes me agree with you
