Hi guys. Many of you have helped me and this is a longer version of a mail sent to Jarl and Marius. But a big thanks to all, Peter and James and so on and on...

A tuesday story:

Im glad to say that I have got the right crown and a new winding stem for my Tag Heuer 844/3. This is how I bought it:

To make a long story short; I needed to replace the crown, but did not really understand what a winding stem was. I contacted TH sweden and also Switzerland, they told me it was to old but I insisted that the crown should be the same as 980.006. Lurking around here I found that info, case should be the same right?

Then Tag Heuer sweden sent me the wrong crown for a 1000 series I think. Then forced me to send my watch in, they would not give my money back due to not beliving me or something. Or maybe put and end to the missery I was giving them on the phone. After two days the watch came back with the right crown! No mail no nothing, just the right crown. I went to my local watchmaker and he "ruckade" (scandinavian) and placed the winding stem correctly and now the watch is running! The movement is stange, 2878 i think, with 25 jewels. Anyone with experiance?

Maybe I will relume the dials, very cool with Tritium i think.

I have changed the bracelet to a oyster one. Quite nice but the end piece does not fit exactly, any ideas? . You could alway change it up with a Nato aswell I guess.

Could not attach new pics...

Thank you for all your help!

Merry christmas and a heppy new year!

(only the pressure test to go...)
