SOURCE: Just want to ask about my new tag heuer watch???
Yes. it's normal to hear that soft noise when winding manually as all the gears gets engaged.
I would recommend watch rotator (winder) by Wolf Designs, Module 1.7, but you can choose for yourself.

Don'y forget to rate, please.
SOURCE: I need to know if I need to purchase a watch winder for my TAGs
Use a winder if you must but I recommend just winding and setting when you want to wear them as most winders I have seen are very cheap and unreliable. Expect up to 50 hours from most watches usually not less than 30, this is if the have recent< 5 years, overhaul.
SOURCE: How to adjust the steel band on my Tag Heuer
For removing or adding links firstly you will have to remove
bracelet pins or screws. In case if there are screw on each side of
bracelet - you have to use two screwdrivers simultaneously. In case if
there are pins - read the rest:
You may or may not have arrows inside
bracelet. Arrows are pointing the way the pins must come out. First you
have to find out what sort of pins or even screws are used to keep
links together (screw ends and pin end may look similar). Examine both
bracelet sides and find the side where pin ends have a groove. Start
with a tiny screwdriver and try to unscrew one. If it turns, but doesn't
come out, that means you have a pins instead of screws. For removing
pins the best would be pin removing tool (approx.5GBP on ebay), but it's
possible to do the job without it. Take a hardened steel needle and
blunt the sharp end to the approx. size of pin end diameter using any
sharpening stone or sandpaper. Get an old towel and fold it to make a
soft base for work (like small cusion). As you don't have a special
bracelet holder you will need a pair of helping hands to hold the
bracelet steady upright. You will need small hammer and pair of flat
nose pliers as well. NOTE: The pins MUST be driven split end out first,
not vice versa. Make sure that the grooved pin ends are facing towel,
not the needle and hammer. Now place the watch on the folded towel, take
that needle and smallest hammer you have and start driving the pin out
using light blows. Do Not hit hard, as you will brake the needle,
scratch your watch or even injure yourself. Watchmakers are using 45
gram hammer, so, calculate your strength of blows. After a few punches
check if the split end is coming out and when you see that the pin end
is coming out long enough - grab it with pliers and pull the pin out
with pliers. When pulling, do NOT turn pliers, as pins tend to brake
when twisted. Use firm grip and your strength to pull the pin without
twisting. After shortening the bracelet or adding extra link(s) make
sure that the pins go back EXACTLY the same way as they came out- the
blunt end first in the hole and the split (grooved) end last. Before
doing that check remaining pins in bracelet to make sure that you put
them back from the right side of bracelet. It is recommended to use
plastic hammer to drive pins back in or you will scratch or damage
bracelet. If plastic hammer is not available use an old toothbrush
handle (or some plastic item) as an absorber. Simply put pin into the
hole as deep as you can with your fingers, put the toothbrush handle on
split pin end and hit handle, not the pin. Make sure that pin ends are
flush with bracelet. If needed- hit few more times. Job done! If you do
not want to do it yourself, any jeweler will do it in a matter of few
minutes.
SOURCE: my watch stops very often its tag heuer grand
It rather depends what you mean by "very often".
An automatic watch will run for 2-3 days before stoping if it is not used.
These watches thrive on being used and are best used every day.
It could be that your watch needs cleaning (I had one that was like that when I bought it and I had it cleaned and it ran for years after that).
