HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SERVICE MY TAG HEUER WATCH?

You could ask one hundred watchmakers this question and you will get 100 different answers. Every watch requires maintenance, but how often it should be serviced depends on the model and it’s conditions of use. Generally speaking all mechanical Tag Heuer watches should be serviced every 4 to 6 years. When your watch is serviced it undergoes rigorous cleaning and checks. It is completely pulled apart and inspected for any wear or damage before being cleaned, reassembled and oiled.
