Please can you check the following photos ? I know that the clasp of original Monaco is not like this, and caliber 12 automatic have open caseback.

can sb experienced Monaco lover clarify that this is a replica or not ?

The dial on the watch from the replica forum is different then yours. Maybe look up photos of legit Monacos and compare them to yours?

I am doing it all day today! The back case I always see is windowed , and the clasp tag heuer logo is different ..

They both have the same serial number - YF6789. That number is not registered with Tag Heuer.

Ask yourself... why would a watch that retails for around 5000 euro be selling for 2000.
It appears to be a replica and all your suspicions are correct.

Correct Caseback...

I have to prove it somehow as soon as possible because I bought it through chrono24.. I must find hard evidence so they they don’t release the money

@Kargol, I am feeling very sympathetic for you, but at the same time, I'm thinking that your avatar has never been more appropriate. I suggest contacting the seller, their response will be very telling.

Hahahahah. Yes I am exactly like my avatar now.
i did contact the seller . I am waiting for him to send me the receipt and the photos he has taken at the cards papers etc. I already reported his add to chrono24 , and I will send all the proof I have when they ask me .

the funny thing is that I am now seeing all watches a s replicas and it will be too long until my next buy.. 😀

Having a Monaco

I could see on this photo below. The lack of crispness of edges of the case that it was a replica

A real one ( look at the shape of the pushers on the two )

I have this model, on a alligator/crocodile strap , (the 35th anniversary)

one thing the Monaco is is square to the max as far as edges

Call Chrono24 and ask for assistance if you bought the watch on C24. Don’t wait any longer. Since their platform was used in a counterfeit watch sale, I believe they will make everything possible to help you to recover.

...or at least they really should, IMHO.

I have found Chrono 24 customer service to be very good - 100% worth a phone call and let them explain what they need to hold the payment / what actions you can take.
