TAG Heuer restoration

Hi guys,

Found this older TAG-Heuer diver and it looks like the hands have some issues and was wondering two things:

1. Will or can, TAG-Heuer still replace the dial, bezel and hands and service the watch?
2. If so, how much would we be talking for the repair?
3. Is the repair/restoration worth it?

Questing three is subjective depending on the person/history with the watch.

980.613N/1 model maybe?

Thanks for any input!

Or this one...980.013N

unless you got the watch for free or a really good price it's not worth it.....i really shouldn't say that. .i mean..it could save u money if you want to go in that direction though.

aren't these <$500 in decent shape good working condition?

why would you want to get rid of the dial on the 1st one? tag might not even ave these 1000 dials anymore. the 2nd one has character as well, and you might me able to clean it up some and still look cool. a new compatible mercedes handset for either is around 20 bucks

any seasoned watch service man can drop in a swiss quartz from a donor watch or a new one for around 50-100..or if he's good fix the original for around 75-100

For the first one , just a relume of the hands or some replacement hands and a service by a competent watch smith is probably all that's needed to make it a useable watch with some patina. Of course you could polish the heck out of it if thats your desire.

The second one has had water ingress that may clean up on the dial, but needs a full movement service (or replacement movement) - not cost effective unless it's something you want to keep many years, or has non monetary value to you

What years were the 1000 and 2000 models made?
What does the T mean before and after the SWISS MADE on the dial?
