I recently bought this watch and it does not fit. If I really try I can clasp it together, but it is way too tight. I have looked around at different places trying to find links, but I dont know which one to buy or whats the cheapest. Also I think the crown is stuck, I cant seem to loosen it to set time/date. Any help would be much appreciated.

The watch may have a screw-down crown. Try unscrewing it (rotate counter-clockwise) until it comes loose, usually about 2-3 turns. Might be very stiff to start turning, if it's been cranked down for a while.

If you know the bracelet part number, you can probably order new links from an authorized dealer (AD). Otherwise, you can look on ebay for extra links, but they will either be replicas or more expensive than the AD.

Edit: I looked on the internet for matching watches, and it looks like the full model number for that watch is WAT2010.BA0951. If that is the correct number, then your bracelet is part number BA0951, so you know what to ask/look for.

Thank you BillC3, I knew the model number was WAT2010-0. I have looked at ebay but I didnt know if all links are the same size or is there a specific one I need to look for. I was thinking of taking it to a Tag shop today. I would like to do this myself to save some cash.

Also I thought of putting the Tag 20mm rubber strap on this. From what I see the lug is 20mm, will this still work on my watch? Thanks

Well spotted. Yes you will need a screw. But the BA0951 link is what you are looking for. To be honest you can get from TAG Heuer it will probably be cheaper.

This! - individual links on eBay are often 2-3 times the price from TH, and mostly used.

I have no problem going through TH, I just need to know if I find an authorized dealer near me or go to the website. If it is the website is there a number I can call? Thanks for everyone's help.

Don't think you can go through the website, but the website should be able to tell you where your nearest dealer is. What country are you in?
