mil04 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 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.

ceejay Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 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.

mil04 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Thanks all. I guess instead od looking for the screws I can just drop ETA 7750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icoopernicus Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icoopernicus Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 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.

tanaris Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 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 @ £2.93Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
