I'm not a TAG expert. But, the quality of the finish on that watch is terrible.

It's somewhere around 20 years old and is scuffed up, but does not look that bad in person. Maybe the stainless can be polished.

Tag Kirium... a little wear and tear, but a good polish should bring back some glory.
A very popular model back in the day.

Thank you, I am glad you think it is real, if that is what you think. I thought it was too from the feel. I bought another one too from the same people but its a midsize formula 1. I will post it later.

Thanks for the help. How much do you think it would cost to have it polished by a pro? I have never done it.

Nice TAG! Looks exactly like the Kirium that Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard wore in the early 2000's catalogue.

Thanks

It is also the one that Brad Pitt wears in Moneyball, apparently from what I have found on the internet.
