Question about Tag Heuer Kirium Quartz Midsize WL121D.BA0704 Wrist Watch
My watch seems to be possessed! It tends to stop whenever it likes. Then I have to reset the time and it starts working fine. Also, it seems to be running slow, i.e. If I reset it for 1200 hours and at 1300 hours it run slower by around 5 minutes and shows only 1255 hours instead. I sent it to the authorised dealer and he told me that he had to change the equipment and it would cost me something like US $ 200/-! Is there any other way of addressing this problem? Thanks.

This is not a cheap watch....You should send it to a qualified watchmaker or the manufacturer. This watch has to have a pressure test to insure it's water tight. This may require replacement of some or all of the gaskets in the case.I would never recommend that this is something that you should try to do yourself.You would be amazed at the money I make do to improper replacement of JUST the battery.

SOURCE: Runs Fast
Usually when a watch with a mechanical movement is running fast its is because the adjustment on the hairspring is advanced to far. Since it wasn't running fast to begin with I can assume its because something was knocked loose. It is possible that a tiny drop of oil was on the hairspring and by knocking the watch two coils are stuck together by the oil. (this usually only happens if it has been over oiled by an amature watch repairer) Magnitization is possible but pretty unlikely, unless you play with Big coils of wire that are carrying a LOT of current. Either way, unless you know what you're doing and have the right tools, you are looking at taking it to a Tag repair center. Since a simple tune up can cost about $250, I'd expect to pay $400 to $500 for that one. Welcome to the wonderful world of high end watches.

You have to unscrew the knob first then you will be able to pull it out to change the minutes, hours, date. You may have to use a pair of small pliers to initially turn the knob.
