I recently acquired this Tag Heuer S89.206 watch. The rotor was detached which I managed to fix but it has 2 other problems. One is the bracelet clasp is broken and the end links are missing. The number on the clasp is 473/4. Is this the correct number to be searching for? The second problem is the stem goes in and doesnt move anything and comes out back easily. It also doesnt screw down and I dont see anything looking like threads on the outside of the tube. Do you guys think this is the original stem, crown and tube and any opinions of how to fix? Any leads as to where to find the clasp other than ebay? TIA

I'm pretty sure that is the correct clasp number. If you can't rebuild the clasp, my recommendation is eBay. Don't look for just the clasp, but also the whole band. Be patient. It'll eventually show up.

Tag crowns tread on the inside of the case tubes, so you won't see the threads unless you look inside. The crown looks original. 

If the stem goes all the way in the movement, but still comes out, you have problem with the detent or setting bridge. Test it when the movement is out of the case. If it stays in then you know the issue is with the stem length or crown/case tube.

It would also be helpful for you in a picture of the movement. When the movements out of the case you can test the crown on the case without the movement ill make it easier to see if you're having a problem with that.

Does the band have a different part number ?

Took it out and the stem goes in and out so I guess its a candidate for a teardown. Crown doesnt screw down either with the movement out and the crown doesnt look like it has threads.

      Regarding the spring winders, I made my own and used copper pipe reducers as the tubes to retain the spring. You will need to cut out a section for the end of the spring to protrude but if you watch one of the many videos on this subject that will make sense. You can find a selection of sizes on Ebay for very little cost. I'll attach a pic showing one of mine.  Good luck!

      Omega sweep second pinion friction spring - correct tension IS important

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      There were things bothering me about this discussion that took me a while to figure out the problem. In the image below it appears to be the spring may be pushing up? Normally when Omega has a spring pushing up the pinion has a pivot with a bridge to hold it in place so in other words the spring can push on something that stationary as opposed to this which appears to be floating? To understand the problem with the above image we need another image of side view which I have below. In my image down below on the left-hand side it agrees with the image up above. But the only problem is the left-hand side is defective and the right-hand side image is the way it's supposed to look. Then Omega if you can access the right documents does explain how and why this problem occurs. With the pinion floating around it might be assumed that you support it when putting on all the hands but you do not because as noted below if you do this small bush on the pinion will relocate out of position exactly what we see in the image up above.   Then Omega does not mention this but there is a possibility of also damaging the pinion and causing the bush to move to where it's not supposed to be when removing the hands.

      Regulating is too touchy

      Maybe show us 1) the watch, 2) timegrapher readings in DU, DD, PU, and PD.

      By Louis1969 · Posted

      The timegrapher displays significant beat error variations in the dial-up position. When the watch is lying flat (face up), the beat error is much higher than in other positions. Beat error readings are inconsistent, with especially large gaps in the face-up position.  Please help !

      Looks like an open-access journal that runs as a glorified pre-print server with no true peer review, so it’s not easy to judge the veracity of the conclusions.
