Hi all

Just started a service on my first ever TAG Heuer, an Aquaracer, from the picture below can anyone identify the movement, I can't find that logo on any list I have found.

Thanks for any help with this

Paul

Anyone notice in the documents linked above that they have a rather unusual recomendation regarding the use of Epilame.

Seems they don't apply it to the pallet or escape wheel but do apply it to the keyless works, seems a bit odd don't you think ?

you need to know where to look in the tech sheet as they do put it on the escape wheel and the pallet stones.

Swiss service guides are interesting in that they don't always show everything. They are getting better which  is why the newer ones will show where the epilam goes the old ones will not. As because previously there would have been probably a separate document. Now they're trying harder to get in one place sometimes. So as you can see from the image out of the technical document they do put epilam on the escape wheel and the pallet stones and the balance staff. Yes they always put on the balance staff.

Can anyone help identifying this "Tag" movement?

It's usually best to start a new discussion if it's a new watch. Often times discussions aren't seen as a new discussion and people may or may not bother to read the discussion. So you'd have better visibility is a new discussion

then I didn't know that there were using Chinese movements? We really need a better picture of the movement but it does not look legit at least the picture that I'm looking at

      Stem removal after fitting hands

      I used to just remove the stem pop the movement in its case then put the stem back in check everything then back on the timer.

      That's the right technique Mal 👍 If you are ok with a loupe ( which I'm not ) then pick up the dial in your left hand and make a tripod holder out of 3 fingers and then exactly how Mal and me described with your right hand, press and flick out the stem at the same time. You need three fingers to do this, i use my ring ring finger , sounds like mal uses his little finger, just whatever you feel comfortable with. The key point and dangerous side to this is the tweezers or driver slipping off the release screw. Stablise your left arm by resting your elbow on your bench, so that you can hold the movement horizontally flat, use a x5 loupe to view  and good light so you can see well and have a good tight fitting screwdriver to push the release down. Or as suggested a pusher mounted solid upside-down somewhere then all you need to do is push your movement up to it. I'll rig something up in a bit to show you what i mean. Something like this, but tbh its better to just learn to do with your fingers.

      Thanks Michael, shes a real soldier, it would take a tank to knock her off her feet.  Shes surprised even me and i knew she was a tough cookie.  Good for you Michael, you keep at it. I've been reading your posts re. your watchroom they're inspiring and it doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there its about the journey. Rome wasn't built in a day, our watchcaves are our solitudes, our own little empires where we can shut ourselves away from the crap that goes on around us in the world. I look forward to seeing you progress, I have my own ideas how i like to do things. But in answer to your questions on that thread, just let your workspace evolve around you and how you work. You wont figure it out straight away but you will know when to change it and when to leave it alone. But most of all just enjoy it.

      That can be tricky. Sometimes I hold the movement from the edges in left hand and with right hand I push the release with tweezers and simultaneously pull the stem out with right hand pinky or something.

      I see what you mean. I must admit I’m not entirely comfortable with that but I can’t see a better method than what you suggest. I’d like to see something like this mirror with a short spike: https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/mirror-for-observing-movements Place it on, push the spike on the post with one hand and release the stem with the other hand. Minor problem, it doesn’t exist.
