Heres an interesting footnote! My silver dial Heuer 2000 Automatic Chrono has a "Tag" crown and came with a "Tag" box and papers. The rest of the watch is Heuer marked. I would have to guess that this watch is a Heuer-Tag transition piece. I guess from LATE 1985 to EARLY 1986. I know for a fact that this is an 100% original Heuer and not a put together. I bought it from a man that said he may have worn it 5 times then put it in a drawer.

Hope this helps!
