Need Help with Carrera QC pics.

[mil04]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post in Tag Heuer area and I need your help. Does this QC pics looks good? I hate the blue screws in the movement, so the question is: can they be easily replaced and where can I get the silver ones? If later my friend want to change the movement to ETA 7750 can it be done?

Thanks for the help

[SSTEEL]

Yes, the screws can be swapped out for silver.  The cousinsuk part numbers are about somewhere, you will have to specifically search for them.  The ETA7750 will fit too, straight swap, even the movement holder will fit too.

Great thanks!! Can  someone tell be the part # ?

[SSTEEL]

Search for it my friend, its something you can't tell from the top of your head lol, theres a few part numbers.

Great that people are feeling the love for these Tag's! Lovely watches.

 

I know it's all personal but that watch would look alot better on a nice leather strap with a Tag deployment clasp. In my opinion of course:D

Enjoy your watch, it's a cracker.

Thanks all. I guess instead od looking for the screws I can just drop ETA 7750

[SSTEEL]

Thats what I did, purchased a genuine Tag Heuer decorated Calibre 16 ETA 7750

I have blue screws in mine & its a SWISS Movement, Blue ScrewsSwiss are the deluxe model.

The gen have white screws.

[markmelheim]

that is true, my mistake...

Agreed that the watch would look much better on leather or even on the bracelet. I don't really like rubber straps so that could be my personal bias on the subject.

 

The Swiss 7750 is a direct swap, as already mentioned, the movement is pretty much identical to the A7750 that is already in your watch.

 

As far as the QC pics go, the watch looks good, I have the stainless bezel model and it has a major flaw that this one does not have.

Is the flaw incorrect rotor?

[icoopernicus]

Mil04 the flaw is in the stainless steel bezel. The Tachy scale is missing the 170 marker, I think it's on all of them, never noticed until I had owned the watch for about a week, didn't even catch it in QC pics, now it's all I see.

The bezel I think is easy fix: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEZEL-INSERT-FOR-TAG-HEUER-CARRERA-WATCH-SILVER-PART-/310407771877?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4845beb6e5#ht_5638wt_1289

If the construction of this model is anything like the Day/Date Carrera I have, then the stainless bezel model is one piece, no separate insert.  Check my thread detailing this below, scroll down until you see the photos of the stainless bezel...

I just did the screw swap on a Carrera. First time, was dead easy. Took one at a time, skipped three (under balance and under chrono reset thingie), the only one that was a bit fiddly was the one that holds the 30-minute wheel spring.

I ordered the screws below from cousinsuk.

(One thing I noticed was that there was no gasket under the caseback, anyone knows the dimensions?)

Screw For Barrel & Train Bridge + Others ( 5106 ), Valjoux 7750 (VAL77505106) x 6 @ £2.15

Screw For Operating Lever + Other ( 58139 ), Valjoux 7750 (VAL775058139) x 2 @ £3.85

Screw For Balance Bridge ( 5121 ), Valjoux 7750 (VAL77505121) x 2 @ £2.93

Screw For Oscillating Weight ( 51143 ), Valjoux 7750 (VAL775051143) x 1 @ £2.93
