I want to build a watch from scratch. i want all the help possible so not to make to m any mistakes i i have seen all the parts for sale tag would be nice but i am open to all makes, but where to start? please help thanks, david m

Hi thank you for answers but it doesn't help me given I already have the bezel off. What I actually need is the actual size of the Spring? I know they are available to buy on eBay and watches.com.uk but to not even bother to respond to you inquiries for some reason?

Does anybody know the correct size of the "friction/ ratchet bezel spring" on a Tag Heuer WAC1113.ba0850 model 2004 - 2007 ?

Battery in watch was fitted at the time of assembly, not at the point of sale. Replace the battery and ask watchmaker to check if the watch is OK at once.

mcdevito75 here, Hello David, Tag Heur a very fine watch, First I would make sure it is the seconds hand that stopped and not the Chrono. hand, I would also go over any instructions that came with the watch, about the light scratches on the saphire crystal, the crystal is scratch resistant to a point, and can occur almost anyway, rubbing up against something harder than the crystal itself, (certain Stones and materials) even if your in a dusty place scratches can occur on any crystal. Check with your warrantee, you should be covered.

Hi,

If your watch is older than 4 years you can't buy links unless you get real lucky and find a watchmaker that happens to have some on hand.

Swatch sold Tag Heuer about 4 years ago to Louis Vitton. LVMH did not purchase the parts for watches made prior to the sale of the company. So all those parts are no longer available.

If your watch is less than 4 years old you can contact Tag Heuer directly for the links.

Hope this helps,

Fake Tags are common! The only surefire way to tell if its real is by the movement! They use Swiss ETA movements. Fakes use Japanese movements! If you are purchasing this watch online...well good luck! If you can take it to a watch repair company then I would suggest that before you buy so they can open the case back and see what kind of movement is in it! A real Tag will cost upwards of $1500 plus and I would think a Limited Edition would be even more!

Good luck!

It depends.

First if the Tag watch is older then it cannot be repaired by Tag and Tag won't have any parts for it.

If it is new, Tag should have the parts and a watchmaker or Tag themselves could repair your band. Although I would suggest a watchmaker over Tag if you can find one willing to deal with Tag for the parts. Expect this to take months to get the right link parts.

If it is older then we have repaired some of these with laser welding. Although there is no guarantee as to how long the welds will last, it does seem to work out for a while.

The ones we have done have lasted several years. In fact we just had a customer send his watch back in for a battery and we had welded his Tag clasp back together about 3+ years ago and it is still working just fine.

Hope this helps,

This is most likely a metal band and the part you are talking about is the head piece. I do not know of any outlets that sale the head piece by itself. You will most likely have to buy a replacement band either from the watch manufacturer or an after market watch band supplier like Speidel.

If it a scratch on a brushed surface try one of these watch Brush pens
Here only a couple bucks

If it is on a polished surface

try a cape cod cloth here

both are indispensable watch collectors items.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the only way to fix this problem is by changing the glass.

Thanks
