Best regards,
look for a tag store near by. if u cant find one most jewelry stores with a shop (not in a mall) can either do it there or send it out. sometime the band can be fixed
TAG HEUER watch bands are costly. Over here in England they cost from £60 to £250 (depends on type, model, e.t.c.), but can rocket sky high if you have one of expensive models. I would suggest to add a few links to your existing band. This will be cheaper than to buy completely new band. Visit your nearest watch repair store and ask how to do that. Watchmaker should be able to order extra links and fit them for you. If you insist on a new band - ask watchmaker to order it and fit to your watch.
Yes, you can buy them on eBay. They ate called spring bars or spring loaded pins. All you have to do is to measure the distance between lugs on watch (the place where the band is attached to the watch). This will be exact spring bar size you are after.
You should first try to adjust the band at the Clasp first. The clasp has three holes that you could easily move your band up or down into. If you need to remove one or more of the links, try the following.
Warning: This is if you don't have any professional watch tools. And I definitely recommend you taking it to a jeweler first.
That being said...
I was able to adjust my band by using a small nail and a pair of needle nose pliers...and Krazy Glue or Super Glue (last warning...you really should take it to pro)...
1. Push the any one of the pins that holds the wristband together until you see it protrude from the other side. While applying pressure to the pin, quickly grab it from the protruding side with the needle nose pliers and pull off the metal cap from the pin.
2. Note you will notice that the pins are actually 2 pieces! They are not screwed together and it makes for a pretty poor design since, one the pins are taken out and then replaced after taking out the appropriate links... they tend to get loose and you will lose that tiny metal cap that holds the pin in place.
3. A professional will have a clamp that is small enough to press these two pieces together. But even that is precarious. I strongly recommend that you carefully apply a drop of crazy glue on each end of the pin, after you are finished.
Final note: I was luck to have spare pins from the links I removed to replace the pin that worked out of its cap. That little sucker is lost to the watch gods. Have fun! Also... you can make final adjustments at the 3 pin location at the wristband release.
