I have this exact model, I was adjusting the time when the whole crown and stem came out of the watch, I was able to put it back in and it’s functional, changes the time , date and everything, it’s happened a couple of times so I’m concerned , any advice ?
I'd like to get your advice. I have this same exact watch but with a black dial. Recently it went through a water damage. I was stupid to wear it when I went for a thermal bath so it went through a series of environment. For example, through the sauna, steam room and I bathed in hot water and cold water. The next day, the watch went all foggy and could tiny droplets of water on the glass. I sent it to Tag and they advised to replace the electronic component, totally understandable. At the same time, they advised me to replace the case back and the dial. Is replacing the case back and dial necessary?
There is no need to replace the back and dial unless its damaged, also if the watch is working, remove the battery and dry it.No need of replacement of electronic component, Maybe you would require replacement of gasket. Hope this helps. Few years back a friend had a similar issue i quickly removed the battery left the electronics to dry for a few days and till now watch is moving fine.
@@psycolana Thank you so much for your input. Ah man, I should have known better. I didn't remove the battery after it happened. Unfortunately, I let the watch go on for about a week and then it stopped working. When it stopped, I immediately sent it to Tag. They diagnosed and said that the electronic component needs to be replaced.
@@psycolana I'm from Malaysia so it's RM1,600 or $340 USD - and this is quite a sum for me. They tried to milk me with the first quotation of RM3,100 or $620, where they costed in bracelet and bezel replacement. I told them to exclude these two and they revised the quotation. Then upon getting your advice, I told them to revise the quotation again to exclude the case back and dial.
If you meant it is losing time then just buy a replacement module as the movement inside cannot be repaired but was meant to be swapped with a new one once it fails.
I too have the same exacty watch seen in the video... when it needed its first battery I took to to a local place, got it back and all was fine until a few days later. Took it back, put a new movement in it, died again a month later. I sent it back to Tag (the authorized place up in NJ? maybe?) and got it back and all is well. Until now, needs a new battery again. FML.

Check/replace the battery if problem still persists you will need to replace the movement

Yeah battery replacement first, if not then go online and buy exactly the same movement, not really that expensive
Is this Tag original with this disposable machine?
Yes Indeed
