Re: TAG Heuer/ Heuer 1000 BIG FAN

: I have the same one (980.013N) in black. It's never lost a second
: of time since I bought it new. However, I can't find anyone to
: get it running again. When the battery depleted, I sent it to
: TAG in NJ & it was returned unserviceable stating battery
: & parts no longer availabe. I can understand the parts not
: in stock, but all I need is a battery. I no longer dive with it
: so I'm not too concerned about the waterproof seal. Any
: suggestions? I've been to local TAG retailers & they look at
: me like I'm nuts!

: Desperation setting in.

Hi,

If the movement does'nt work with a new battery (395) then it will need replacing, a like for like replacement is an ETA 955.112, approx $30 from a watch material house. Any competent watchmaker can do the swap, you could even do it yourself with a little practice.

Hope that helps,

All the best,

James.
