Welcome to the club!! [Or at least to the clubhouse.]

I believe that there are excellent independent watchmakers here in the US (and also up in Canada), who can do great things with the Cal 11/12/14/15 series of chronographs. If you can ship to Europe, there are excellent folks there, as well.

These movements are relatively abundant, and there seems to be a steady flow of parts. Be careful with the "case parts" -- pushers, bezels, etc. -- but I believe that you should be OK with the movements.

: 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
