Just to give you an idea, I serviced my Seiko Stargate II with a 4R36 movement for under 50 euros and my Seiko 8R28 Ananta modular chronograph which is a PAIN to service for 185 euros Servicing a Tag at LVMH will probobly run you around 250 bucks and according to Tag´s own website the recommend a 2 year service period and a yearly waterproofing test that probobly runs around 50 bucks (most watchmakers recommend between 3 and 5, and omega is currently even saying that Coaxials can go for 10 years, as for the waterproofing, its only recommended yearly if you regularly dive with it) Theres also been questions about Servicing, Latery there have been reports that TH has been basicaly just tossing out the old movement and putting in a new one instead of bothering with servicing the movement, its something i find disturbing becuase the watchmaker skill and service quality required to do that instead of properly taking the movement apart, Now there have been questions about the quality of the components used by Tag Heuer lately, softer case steel, plastic spacers, Little details that make you think that LVMH is cutting corners. The fact that they are using an internal reference Such as Calibre 5 and using 2 different calibres as Calibre 5 without telling you which it is and the only modification done to the movement is rotor engraving is kind of disturbing becuase you dont know which you have until you crack open the watch. they havent been on the market long enough to make a decent assesment, theyonly been widly used for 3-4 years and Oris was the first major swiss manufacturer to put them in to mass production watches. The Tag Heuer Calibre 5 was originaly a 2824 Elaborate grade (more on grades Here)īut since Eta is now cutting off supply to non swatchgroup the Calibre 5 is now a Sellita SW200 which is a Drop in replacement for the 2824 thats very similar but has a extra jewel, some people they they are worst, some say they are the same. Tag Heuer is junk, they are horrible overpriced junk thats been ruined by LVMH in favor of a horrible brand like Hublot. My first responsability it to tell you my personal opinion of tag heuer so you can put everything i put under in to context.
