I am an authorized repair center for Tag Heuer watches. I can
acquire genuine parts for repair of almost any Tag Heuer watch including
chronograph watches; but If your
watch is still under warranty from Tag Heuer, you should send it to Tag
Heuer for repair.
Regarding
parts: I have an account with Tag Heuer that allows me to buy genuine Tag
Heuer parts and install them in your watch. The account I have with them does
not allow me to sell parts, so I regret that if I do not have your watch in for
repair, I cannot provide you with parts. This includes bands, bezels,
and band links.
My work carries a one year no-quibble warranty.
Recently,
Tag Heuer has stopped supplying parts for their Caliber S watches. Tag Heuer
requires that their Caliber S watches be sent directly to them for repair.
When
you look on the back of your Tag Heuer watch, you will find a model number. If that
number starts with 980 or 974, all parts for these models have been discontinued.
I regret, therefore, that I cannot
provide bezels, original crowns, watch bands, or links for your
watch. Many parts for the movements are still available, and I can usually
fit generic crystals and generic crystal gaskets. I can often fit generic crowns, (the
generic crown looks like the original crown without the tag heuer symbol) get your watch running, and
make it water
resistant again.
If
you have any questions about repair of your Tag Heuer watch, please do not
hesitate to E-mail or phone me. It takes a good deal of time to answer your
e-mailed questions, so please do us a favor and turn off your spam blocker for jpaulson@earthlink.net.
As well, please empty your mail box so my reply doesn't get sent back to me. Please
do not E-Mail me asking me to sell parts as I do not sell parts.

I regret that, if I do not have your
watch in for repair, I will be unable to give you firm prices for bezels, watch
bands, crowns, or band parts. Once I have examined your watch, I will then give you a firm
estimate for any parts required. To assist you in estimating the
cost of these parts, below is a very general price guide:
Ladies' two-tone
watch band, $750.00; stainless, $475.00; yellow, $835.00
Men's two-tone watch band,
$850.00; stainless, $574.00; yellow, $935.00
Ladies'
watch band link: yellow, $74.00; stainless, $46.00
Men's watch band link: yellow,
$84.00; stainless, $56.00
Pusher buttons installed, $160.00
Bezels (the ring around the
crystal): prices vary greatly model to model. You will probably be paying at
least these base prices: stainless, $160.00; yellow (gold plate), $180.00; plastic,
$85.00.
Some bezels can cost as much as $950.00.
Crowns and
tube (the
knob you set the time and date with, and the tube it screws onto): $180.00 (this includes the gasket)
Soldering a
broken or worn-out band link with gold or silver solder: $60.00
Crown gasket,
$32.00; pusher gaskets, $42.00 each; back gasket, $18.00
Crystal
gaskets installed are usually $94.00
Mechanical Chronograph watches that are overhauled (cleaned and
oiled, and adjusted to top notch function) are generally around $300.00.
Battery
Chronograph watches that are overhauled (cleaned and oiled and adjusted to top
notch function) are generally around $240.00.
Unfortunately, if your watch band is about
ten years old and it is starting to come apart, just replacing or soldering
the links that have come apart usually does not work, as your watch band will be
worn in other places as well. I can examine your watch and give you my opinion
on what options you have.
If you wear your Tag Heuer watch as a dress
watch only and don't take it in water, you probably do not need to have your Tag
Heuer watch pressure tested after a battery is installed. A battery
replacement is $20.00 dollars, in addition to the basic $20.00 dollar diagnostic and return shipping
fee. All Tag Heuer
watches that require pressure testing for proper water resistance will be charged
$20.00 for pressure
testing, and any additional parts required, in addition to the basic twenty dollar diagnostic and return shipping
fee.
If you take your watch in the shower, the hot water and soap will quickly
compromise the rubber gaskets in the crown, pusher buttons, and case back.
Rubber gaskets generally will last only about two years under these
conditions, and should be replaced every time you have a battery changed, if not
more often. If you just wear your watch as a dress watch, the rubber gaskets
should be replaced after about eight years. The crystal gasket is nylon and is
generally good for at least eight years.
