May not be as good of a deal compared to Jomashop which is grey market. But you get the warranty from Tag. Plus exchange rates arent that great right now, so might want to factor that in.
A tip- if the particular watch comes in a bracelet, buy it with the bracelet, then buy the leather strap separately later. Reason being that the bracelet might be harder to source, and it'll be far more expensive to buy later on.
Typical oem bracelets for for about $1000, and leather strap at $450 (rough estimates).
Can also buy good quality aftermarket leather straps for less than $300. Whereas aftermarket bracelets are more "iffy". And will likely cheapen a nicer watch, imho.
Good luck.

As a side note, I should also add that TAG Heuer watches do not hold their value well, so the moment there is an aftermarket strap or bracelet, the watch is worth next to nothing.
Nice watches, but resale is terrible. I'd only buy a used TAG Heuer from here on.
