I know this has been posted here before, and I apologize to make a new thread. Unfortunately that thread is over 10 years old and I wasn’t getting a response. So, many years later, I wanted to ask the community if the “Re-Edition” case backs (the ones with extra engravings and pictures attached) are still considered authentic. Thank you!

Probably the reason why you didn't get a reply is because the person you quoted, @Calibre11 (David Chalmers), doesn't really post here anymore.

Plus, not much has changed in the last 10 years, the information in that old thread is still valid today. I don't believe there's been any new findings to show that they're not authentic. But if you're worried, you can always opt for one that doesn't have the extra engravings on it.

There were a handful of different caseback engravings over the period these were produced. And you won't find a convincing fake of these re-editions. Far better to focus on finding one that's been well looked after.

New to tag and this forum and in an effort not to start yet another caseback thread I’m jumping on this thread because I can’t find any information regarding the serial of mine so hoping someone with expertise can weigh in.

My caseback has a very unique sequential number and an HA prefix.. I have since heard of some other cs3110s with an HN prefix. Also got this info from our AI overlords:

TAG Heuer changed its serialization format in the mid-1990s - right around when the CS3110 Carrera Re-Edition was introduced (1996).
Early production (1996–early 1997): used letter prefixes like HA, HG, HR, etc. These denoted early manufacturing batches, mainly for internal factory tracking.
Later production (1997 onward): TAG dropped the prefixes and moved to numeric-only serials, typically 5 or 6 digits (e.g., 12345).
So your HA1234 watch is from the first wave of CS3110 production - before TAG streamlined the numbering system.

Anyone else seen or have a non standard HA HN etc prefix? Is this serial possibly the original?

I have set up an authentication with Tag officially but I know the watch is authentic and serviced all I really want to know is if this serial is even possible!

Thanks!

I have no idea about the HA prefix, never seen it before on that model. But what also raises an eyebrow is the "1234" that follows. Not saying it isn't legit but does make me ponder...

This odd serial number was recently discussed here:

Wondering if we're seeing fakes of the CS3110 surface:

Box looks fake and isn't the correct type for this watch either. The watch, I'm not sure about. I think a fake looking that realistic would be unlikely. Could have been freshly polished? It does look a little odd, but not seeing anything drastically wrong with it. And it says it was recently serviced. New parts perhaps?
It's a curiosity, for sure - another posted on reddit said they'd bought one with the same style serial new from TH (and also had one of the earlier styles).

Entirely possible that it was just the end of the production run that they switched the casebacks.
