TAG Heuer: Is this Tag Heuer 2000 972.006 Genuine?

Blancpain: I think it is more than "good" to be true

In fact, the last bid on the auction for this watch is ~USD 104 (IDR 1.500.000). There is "Buy It Now" option for ~USD 173 (IDR 2.500.000). The auction will be closed in 5 hours. For this kind of quality (that we can only perceive visually) is this still worth the risk?

Blancpain: Possibly a redial?

Unfortunately, I don't have any clearer, zoomed-in image that shows the print quality on the dial. I had tried to ask the seller but he simply reposted the same image but cropped lol.

Blancpain: Now, that is a hot take!

There is one guy on WatchUSeek that says if this is a genuine Blancpain. However, this is not the modern Blancpain (in Le Brassus). Instead, this watch is from the old Blancpain (in Villeret - hence the "Rayville"). Now I really want to know how much "Rayville" Blancpains are worth compared to "Le B
