aving been a Tagheuer fan for about 20 years already I was really amazed to recently find that the watch I coveted as a child, a gift from my grandmother to my father, was in fact an early heuer - see pic.
My grandmother was a partizan in Yugoslavia in World War II, and the watch was a gift to her from my grandfather. Apparently he bought a pair but lost his in a watch repair company in Vienna during the war.
I had it cleaned and the repaired (the winder mechanism was missing) a couple of years ago. The winder isn't an original part - I would be interested in knowing where I could get an original piece for this watch.
Also I have no idea of value and need to get it insured so if anyone has any ideas about its value, I would be very grateful. I haven't been able to accurately date it from the catalogues available here so any info about the watch or a more accurate date for it would also be most welcome.
