This Tag Heuer watch has a lot of issues and it is not working well. I will do a service on this watch to make it run great again hopefully. The watch has an ETA 2824 caliber inside and I will do a full restoration on it. Hope you will enjoy the repair of this Tag Heuer watch

Nice service job and excellent regulation of the movement. You always fine tune the regulation to make it as perfect as possible without cutting corners. Your editing from the different camera angles is much appreciated!

36:40 chin reveal! and you reveal your engineer background, the oilers make X, Y, Z axes 😀 I'm not especially fond of Tag watches, even though I have 3 quartz ones. Tag had a bad habit of buying lowest grade undecorated ebauche ETA movements, engrave TAG-Heuer on the rotor then case it and market it as high end Swiss. Their target market bought it hook line & sinker! But overall a nice video - parts come out, parts get cleaned, parts go in, parts get oiled, watch works. It never gets old watching a movement be rebuilt!

I am not a fan of Tag Heuer as well. Love vintage Heuer but the Tag from 2000’s not my thing

I appreciate patina, but those hands need to be redone, in my opinion. A workhorse of a movement used by so many makers. It's not particularly beautiful, but gets the job done for many years, and as stated, is easy and inexpensive to service. Thanks for sharing.

Having watched your complete video now and as much as I love your dedication and hard work, I would have to say that all of it is a complete waste of your precious time and expertise. With a watch like this, you just buy a new $300 (?) ETA movement and let the owner have lots of spare parts should anything go wrong again. I do not like throwaway stuff, but your time, expertise, tools, gaskets, oils and grease etc. could be used on reviving much more interesting and far more beautiful movements/watches. And I am not sure if you have noticed: the "Tag Heuer" logo as well as the hands look really ugly for such a recently produced watch. Quality at this price? 💩🤮🤪!

@FrenchWatchCollector 9 ай бұрын

It is not my taste as well but after it might have sentimental value to the owner so I do exactly the same work regardless the quality, age and price of the watch

@ygrbooks 9 ай бұрын

Let us just be clear: it is a cheaply manufactured watch that was way too expensive when bought new. Regardless of what the owner feels about it, your time, expertise and video were totally wasted on this one. As was our time watching this. It is perfectly clear that you cannot showpiece masterpieces time and time again. However, please refrain from such ludicrous trash sold under what used to be a great brand until the moniker "Tag" was added to it. The rest better be silence.@@FrenchWatchCollector

@@ygrbooks come on man, tell us how you really feel! Personally I don't agree with your conclusions, FWC can video servicing NH35 Invicta's if he wants, I will still watch because Zenith is in short supply. All manner of watches come across a watchmaker's bench and they must all be worked on with the same quality. It's not for you to say what is worthy of being shown, for all we know many many hobbyists could easily be grateful for this step by step howto on a basic 2824

@ygrbooks 8 ай бұрын

I think you have some good reasons for your criticism of my comment, as FWC shows that such a movement can be serviced and how, which is good. However, here in Switzerland servicing such a watch is extremely expensive. To give you an example: I have a 1976 Tissot PR-516 that I had not worn for over 30 years and wanted serviced. Tissot themselves were not interested at all ("We only service watches that are up to 10 years old."), but gave me the address of a watchmaker. His estimate was well over CHF 1400! Eventually needed spare parts not included. Luckily, I found another watchmaker who serviced the watch for CHF 500, which is still pretty expensive. In hindsight, I should have bought a new movement (for less than CHF 300) and kept the old one for spare parts. @@alanmckinnon6791
