Recently acquired Tag Heuer needs help

Recommended Posts

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.

Does the band have a different part number ?

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.

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.
