My trusty TagHeuerwatch has eventually come to the point where it needs a new battery after 10 years of ownership

I thought i might get it repolished etc as It has a few minor scratches etc after wearing it everyday since I was bought it.

The sapphire is still perfect but the metal could stand some TLC.

Can anyone recommend a reputable place to get it sorted?

Cheers

Personally I'd contact Tag, see who your nearest dealer is. Rather than trust it to someone with no factory back up.

Mapping & Webb they'll send it to Switzerland and of course it will cost you a pretty penny, worth it though

Or give Goldsmiths a ring.

So basically your watch needs a new battery and a polish.

All other facts are there to "try" impress us......it failed

paulr

Or maybe he is trying to give us a "fuller "picture so we can give better advice.

So basically you dont like expensive watches.
All other facts are there to "try" to depress us....you failed .


Did i tell you about my Breitling Colt GMT that cost over............maybe another day.....

davyboy

I do.......I must find a way to skillfully include the details of my watch into a thread one day

Watch this space.......

My trusty Subaru has eventually come to the point where it needs a new battery after 10 years of ownership

I thought i might get the car repolished etc as It has a few minor scratches etc after driving it everyday since I was bought it.

The engine is still perfect but the bodywork could stand some TLC.

Can anyone recommend a reputable place to get it sorted?




Or as davyboy (and many others) would put it:

My car needs a new battery and a polish. Anyone know best place to get it done

paulr

Then people would ask how old is it,anything else wrong,where did you get it etc.Give him a break.


To answer the original question i'd say Goldsmiths could easily change the battery for you.They are an authorised dealer and usually have one person on site who is well trained.As for the polish they would probably have to send it away.After 10 years they may recommend a service,thats up to you depending on cost and does it still keep good time.

Send it to Duval in Manchester. Theyre the official agents for Tag Heuer in the UK and its where the watch will end up if you take it to any of the jewellers mentioned above.

Thanks for the advice

Apart from Davyboy of course. All I wanted was advice from the forum which I have been so impressed with so far on a fantastic number of different subjects.

The watch is nearly ten years old and needs more than a polish which is why I asked. I didn't realise I was trying to impress anyone. The watch cost about £400 as it was bought in Dubai by relatives on holiday.

Davyboy, I presume you are the kind of person who scratches cars because you perceive the owner to be better off than you even though they might not be. I presume you have a massive chip on both shoulders. I presume you are a halfwit.

You may not be any of these things but I find it ironic that on a forum which discusses cars worth thousands of pounds you take offence at someone trying to sort out an old watch.

So in conclusion...thanks to the forum for the excellent advice. Davyboy...I'd see a psychiatrist if I were you, you need help

bigsinky

or my Brietling Super Avenger.......or my Omega Seamaster...... or my Poljot......hmmmmmmm maybe another day

whatsinaname

if goldsmiths change battery in store it will not be waterproof (it maybe but they wont guarantee it)

scoobydooooo

ask a question on here and bring on the abuse !! typical NSR
i love it

Give TAG a ring on 01204 86 11 68 though I had my TAG battery changed and watch cleaned by a local watchmaker who as far as I'm concerned did a very good job of it.


Chip

davyboy

It would be a boring place if we all agreed

£400 quid on a watch.....your never going to impress people on here with that

bigsinky

where's Yoza when you need him, pffft
