My New Tag Heuer Carrera Day-Date
- Thread starter Lezzare
- Start date
Funny, here in Brazil there´s no TAG catalogue. ADs say TAG isn´t working with catalogues anymore and all the info should be seen on their site.
So, I sent a request for a catalogue on TAG-Heuer site, and this request was forwarded to a AD jewelry here, who sent me a mail inviting me to check at first hand their TAG models, but saying that sadly they weren´t receiving any TAG catalogue anymore
I got some chocolates along with the coffee tho, but I was there just to check the new TAG models.. (although wearing a Rolex at that moment).
Cheers,
Spirit.
I have the Calibre 36 Grand Carrera (“entry-level rep” ~$100ish) and sounds like the pins are the same as what I dealt with. I’ll say off the bat, I have no specific tools and no real experience working on watches ever but am fairly handy. Please don’t gasp, but all I did was find a sturdy enough nail that would fit into the pin hole and hammer it into the pin (sort of like how you would hammer a nail into wood using a nail set). Once it got a bit loose and poked out the other end, I just used regular needle-nose pliers to pry them out. No lube or anything. No bent pins, no lube. I guess when you pull with pliers, maybe the trick is to rotate the pliers (i.e. in an “unscrewing” motion) as you’re pulling out? Hope this helps.
Incidentally, this watch was my first rep purchase and I’m searching for more – but this forum has taught me much about many things so I’m taking more shopping time this time around. FYI, mine is just a quartz bought from Topgunwatch – so probably not up to some people’s standards but it’s a fine looking piece, it’s my daily watch, and I have to say that the service from them was pretty good – they continue to respond to inquiries I have.

Yes there is no formal 2009 catalogue just a brown hard cover book full of pictures but i also asked if they had a catalogue ans the assitant said they got a few 2009/10 order books by accident so she said i could have it give a list of everything available currently with model numbers
