Watch is not so squeamish items, when it is in a normal use , it is not prone to the above problems. But often a lot of people wearing very bad habit, such as too loose is easy to bump, then there will be easy appear some problem.
As you all know, we don’t do quartz watches, but this one if from a parent from my youngest daughters playgroup, so we do make exceptions.
The poor watch has lost the luminous compound from the hour hand, and the bezel ring has gone awol. Being a TAG, you can’t buy spares as an independent, so we have to get a bit creative here
No wonder TAG watches are so expensive – the ETA 955.412 will set you back a whopping ￡ 10 wholesale, and the plastic case ring, injection moulded by Tibetan virgins, will add another ￡ 0.10 to the production cost. So well worth every penny (￡ 795) you pay for it
The hour hand has lost its luminous compound.
As I can’t buy a new bezel, it’s off to my trusted lathe.
Look – new luminous compound, and a hand-made bezel ring, and we are back in business.
