Take a look at the watch from the side where the band attaches to the buckle. You should see four holes with one of them having a visible pin in it where the band is connected to the buckle. Moving the band to the right will shorten it moving it to the left will make it bigger. To move it simply get something that you can push the pin in with like a paper clip. Push the pin in and the band should come out move it to the left and push the in again and simply move the band into proper position. Once you do that the pin will snap back into place. If that does not adjust it enough go to your local watch store and they can remove links from the bracelet for you. Shouldn't cost you more than $10.
remove dial - use engraving tool to remove 3 plastic knobs to remove calendar wheel. replace calendar wheel with old one then heat a small drill to remelt plastic in the 3 holes.
Sean,
This watch has a disposable movement(guts). That means the battery is the only part that can be replaced. The thing is glued together instead of screwed.
Take it to a watchmaker that can get the replacement movement from Tag as the ordinary movements out there are different from the genuine Tag movements. Date wheels specifically are different.
Anyway, a professional watchmaker, not a jeweler or store clerk please, will be able to tell you if that is the correct course of events to take. Probably looking at 200 to 250

The watch should start when the winder is returned home position.
If pressing the winder does not cause the watch to start it could be that the winder may need to be screwed in (some watches include this as an additional feature to improve water resistance). Turn the winder to the right.
The wacth should now start. if it still does not start, I suggest you find your nearest dealer in your area and speak to them about it.
Go to the Tag web site "www.tagheuer.com/the-collection/tag-heuer-formula-1" Select "men" Select your watch and on the right you will see a menu, select user manual and download.
Hi, on the back of the movement there should either be a screw or a dimple in line or next to the line of the stem. If a dimple, press in with a pin or similar sturdy tool and gently withdraw the stem. If a screw, only one turn should be enough to release the stem
To reset the stop watch unscrew the stem and pull it out 1 click. Then press the buttom to the top of the stem and it will move the minute stop watch 1 minute continue to press to get it set to 12. Do the same with the bottom button to get the second hand stop watch to 12.
The video i want to see you,is using older kind of watch,screwing before he can pull the crown ,the new model watches now like your Tag Heuer is pushing, use a needle to push, while pushing the stem lock you pull the crown .That's why ill tell you in advance so you aware.I know because i'm a watch technician working in rolex before...
nice noon to you ! you need to open the crown ,to open the crown , wind it counter clockwise until the crown lose then pull it and adjust the time after set the time ,push the crown and wind it clockwise until the crown fix tight,
Your need the following tools to take out the crown...fix the hands and fix the hands.
1. Pointed Small Forcep
2. 7 or 8 no. small screw driver
You can these tools from a hardware store.
As this work is of high perecesion you need to be very careful and need high concentration.
As you have already opened the back cover of the watch you may find an arrow(--->) mark, when you press it and pull out the crown it may come out.
Now you can fix the hand by holding it by forcep and then setting it on the pinion(centre) of the dial or the position you want to fix.
In case of any difficulty you may take the watch to service centre.
