Re: New member and question on maintenance of vintage pieces

Notable people are Abel Court, Craig Bergsma, and James Hyman. You want to kind of look for pieces that require oiling and cleaning of movement, parts are hard to come by these days.

: Hi all,

: I'm pretty much a vintage Rolex and Panerai guy. However, I'm
: starting to fall in love with the cushion case and history of
: the Autavias. Have definitely been surfing the 'bay as well as
: the forums here for pieces and there are some pieces that I'm
: itching for. That said, I'm very sure that anything I pick up
: will need some sort of service. A question to the general
: community (as I posted on twitter this am), what're the
: resources available for repair and parts for vintage Heuers? I'm
: well aware of horror stories in vintage Rolex and Panerai land
: so I figure shipping to Tag Heuer is a non-started for me. Are
: there notable folks who do maintenance and repairs of vintage
: Heuer Autavias? Thanks for you time in educating a newbie.

: Regards,
: Alex
