Thanks, yes, and I used to spend my summer holidays in various parts of Britain, have seen more of Britain than Germany, I would say.

Yes, I meant the piece that connects the clasp to the rest of the bracelet. I like the Siffert Autavia that I bought, but I would really like to find the original parts for the watch, especially the pushers, crown and hand for the second. I wonder whether the Vintage Repair Service of Tag Heuer in La Chaux-de-Fonds would be of help. I would give it away for a complete service anyway. I have sent them an e-mail, but didn't get an answer yet. What would you or the other experts say?? Or any other recommendations?

Best wishes,

oliver
