Hi again, I know the auction has finished but I would really appreciate an opinion on this?

idk01 · 4 November 2009, 10:16 PM

I've had a few tags in the past, the photos make this a hard one, the band doesn't look right at the end links, but then again it looks quite worn, bit of a hard one.

Oh dear. I have to say I bought this watch and have it in my possession. I could take some more pics if that would help?

I wouldn't panic, just need someone with a bit more knowledge on tag's to jump in and have a look, the case and dial look ok, but better photos would certainly help

I have taken a few photos with my mobile - am I allowed to post photobucket links on here?

Of course

Those closeups are great, that tag looks fine

nice looking 1500, I think from memory my brother in law had the white dial on that same watch, early 90's vintage

Thank you so much! Wow what a relief!

There's just one thing, the watch seems to be running 12 hours slow - as in the date doesn't correct until lunchtime. Are the winders normally hard to pull out because I'm struggling to get it to budge?

idk01 · 4 November 2009, 10:55 PM

Now that I might have to check with Matt, some do have a screw out winder the same as a Rolex, unscrew first before the time and date can be set, unless its a matter of non quickset, I'll see what I can find out.

ILoveMyBug · 4 November 2009, 10:58 PM

Thanks so much for all your help, I'll keep checking back here to see if you find anything out

idk01 · 4 November 2009, 10:58 PM

Its a screw in crown here is a snap:

ILoveMyBug · 4 November 2009, 11:03 PM

Ah! Right well I've unscrewed it and managed to pull the winder out and move the time forward by 12 hours. It doesn't seem to want to screw back in again now but it's not going to be going underwater so I shouldn't think that matters?

idk01 · 4 November 2009, 11:05 PM

There might be a trick to that, it should click back in one click and move freely without changing the settings , thats when you should be able to screw the crown back down.

ILoveMyBug · 4 November 2009, 11:11 PM

I will have a play around with that later, at the moment I'm constantly packing up and unpacking it at my office desk which someone's going to notice soon!

Just one more question, as it came without a manual I tried to find one to download online and the closest I could find was for the TAG Heuer “Classics”: Carrera-Monza-Monaco-Targa Florio and the TAG Heuer: Link-Kirium-2000 Classic and Exclusive-6000.

Does anywhere have a full range to download or is the watch too old at nearly 20?
