Happy New Year!

In the American South we have a New Years food tradition that involves black-eyed peas for Luck and collard greens for Prosperity. So I will spend the morning cooking up a big pot of Hoppin' John and a mess of greens.

First day of the year, and first day ever on the wrist 😀

I bought this at least a couple of years ago, but it needed the correct crown and crystal/rehaut and they took a while to find. Managed to get a Sun buckle for it too last month. Very early 3647T within the first few hundred made. Now this one's done I can move onto the even more knackered 2447T that's been waiting in a drawer. Let's see if I can finish that one for new year 2019.

Me too 👍

The 2447T is unfortunately so far gone it's going to have to go to Tag Heuer for a restoration. The hands would be just about possible to source but the dials are extremely scarce. It'll be interesting to see how much they want to charge for the parts...

Man, what a tale this has to tell! Would you opt to change the dial if offered? I see this glorious old girl with a overhauled movement and correct hand set on that dial. But, certainly could see why you may go the full restoration route, would sky-rocket the value. I'm just a fool for patina!

Well it was a one owner watch, and the tale is that it spent 20 years at the bottom of a bits-n-bobs drawer with no crystal installed 🤦

So the tale isn't really a very glamorous one, and I'm 100% going to get a NOS replacement dial if TH offer one at a realistic price. I think they'll insist on a like for like replacement though, which is a slight shame as I've ended up with two T versions (3647T and 2447T) quite by chance. If I had any say I'd love to get an N or an SN for this one.
