    Tough to tell from the grainy pics but the movement looks legitimate. One of the real TAG guys should be able to give you a more reliable answer.

    The rotor looks miyota to me-I can't seen to find any pics of a kirium with a display back-not sure though

    i think it's fake.

    1. never saw that model.
    2. shape of bracelet links/pieces looks different; the fake one looks too curvy. here is my kirium...

    Mine: Rolex Submariner date black, Tag Heuer Kirium chrono auto blue, Tissot T-Race MotoGP 2011.
    Wife: Rolex Lady Datejust TT champagne dial.

    Bracelet doesn't look right to me. Too "sculpted" or 3D. The bracelet on my Kirium F1 has a very flat outer surface, not so rounded.

    Can't be 100% as the photos are pretty small and detail is poor, but I'd say it is a fake.
    Sorry

    I was thinking the same about the links, also no dots on the back of the links. The seller is a real jackwagon when I questioned him about it. the red tag heuer display box was odd as well-looked cheap. Anybody have a movement pic to compare it to?

    Its fake.

    Dial is based on a 6000 Series
    Case is based on a Kirium

    Neither watch ever had a Sapphire case back.

    thats what I think - he's trying to trade it on CL for a motorcycle or atv. Even has a phony receipt pic that shows he spent $1800 on it (all it shows is the amount).

    When I emailed him to tell him its fake he went ballistic and said its been checked out by jewelers and was even offer $1000 by one jeweler

    Sure looks like a Miyota Automatic to me

    Maybe that 'jeweler' was blind.
