Re: Interesting Question: Not Worried with V72 and Cal 12, E

: Maybe I am simply naive or avoiding the difficult questions, but
: I am not terribly concerned about parts for most of my watches .
: . . especially the ones powered by Valjoux 72, V92, and the 773x
: movements, and the Cal 12 / 15 movements. Perhaps I should
: inquire of some of our expert watchmakers, but I am assuming
: that parts are currently abundant and will remain plentiful for
: a long while. I'm not so sure about "body parts", for
: example the pushers and crowns, but I have to think that we will
: be OK for a long time on the parts for the more common
: movements.

: Of course, it will be great to have the views of our experts --
: watchmakers and those who more frequently deal in the
: "projects".

: Thanks for introducing this interesting topic.

: Jeff

Thanks for the reply Jeff, it would be good to get an overall view but i like what your saying, maybe the Heuers won't be a problem so far down the line, i do hope so.

Do you know if Tag Heuer are actually making parts for the vintage movements? or just using whatever they have left in stock?.

Thanks.
