Subject: RE: quotation 4756 Good day Rina, This timepiece was previously booked in to refit the tachymeter on Tag Heuer Job 88087/4079. This was completed with a water resistance test in Sept 2017. This timepiece then came back on Tag Heuer Job 87754/4073 to have the bezel refitted due to the bezel falling off. This was also completed in Sept 2017. A water resistance test was also completed. The instruction manual recommends the timepiece should be booked in regularly for a water resistance test if the watch gets used in water. Looking at the age of this timepiece. The timepiece has not been in for a service. Therefore gaskets have not been changed. Unfortunately gaskets on a watch do not last a life time. These gaskets need to be changed with every service. The factory recommends a service every 3 to 5 years. The water/ moisture on this repair could be due to a gasket being worn/ old. Regards,
