Another Tag repair thread! sentimental value.

[TheConverted]

Hi guy's, as I've treated my self to another watch, clearly the start of an obsession! id like to get my Tag repaired/ restored, before I something else.

it was an 18th present from my family, and it been beat the crap out of daily for since then. as it holds so much sentimental value, and its been so reliable. Id like it to be the watch I pass on to my kids.

so the damage report. its going to need a case because of the moulded plastic inserts. also a bezel and the face is discoloured. I think the bracelet could be cleaned up.


this once said Tag Heuer




thanks Andy

Andy, great to see you love your watch. Is there an actual question? There is always help here but unless I am being a numptie, there doesn't seem to be a query.

Probably wasn't clear, but what’s the best way to go about this. is it possible to buy replacement parts on the open market? or does it need to be sent to Tag? from memory a service an new battery was £200. so as it need most of the watch replaced I figured having my local watch guy rebuild it with parts would be more cost effective.

Just looking for advise really.

Thanks Andy

Cheers guys thats a totally different slant on it. as I say it was present rather that inherited so, I think I feel bad for it as it been abused so much yet been so reliable.
I guess a daily for most watches isn't as hardcore. This was my watch day in day out while I was a rigger and professional sailor. I've literally beat ten bell of st out of it everyday, for the last 8 year's while relying on it to keep perfect time.
But I see what your saying about that being the charm of it now.
All joking a side great advert for Tag, only let me down when the battery went.
