Encased in durable stainless steel with a matching three-row bracelet, it features a unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved numerals and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. Luminous markers and hands ensure visibility in low light, and the Swiss quartz movement provides reliable, low-maintenance timekeeping.

Authenticity Indicators
Correct logo font and spacing; 'Swiss Made' alignment at 6 o'clock; high-quality engraving on the bezel. Red flag: Verification of the serial number on the case back via the TAG Heuer warranty portal is required for High confidence. Current confidence: Medium-High based on visual finishes.
Flaws to Note
Significant 'desk diving' scratches on the bezel and bracelet. These are surface level and can be professionally polished, but currently reduce the 'Excellent' rating to 'Good'. No original packaging or extra links visible.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (using Authenticity Guarantee), Chrono24 (specialist watch platform), or r/Watchexchange for enthusiasts. Local luxury consignment or pawn shops are options but will offer lower payouts.
Selling Tips
Use the eBay Authenticity Guarantee program to build buyer trust. Take high-resolution macro photos of the dial and serial number on the case back. If you have the spare links, mention the wrist size it currently fits. A light professional buffing could increase the price by $100-$150.
