·I recently got a 980.023N. It has an aftermarket strap on it. I am looking for a 1980s original bracelet. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance

·Good luck!
My first port of call would be your local TAG Heuer boutique. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can still get new parts for some older watches. Otherwise keep an eye on the usual auction sites but these bracelet come up rarely. I believe the same bracelet can be made to fit 11630 or 11063 Autavia models, so you will be bidding against Autavia owners.

Thanks so much for your reply. No luck at the local dealers. I guess I will just keep looking! No luck on eBay. Any other site You can recommend? Thanks

eBay is the place to look for one of these...if you're patient, they do come up (I bought one there a couple of years ago). I found a NOS bezel for one of these watches on eBay a few weeks ago...they do come up.
Beware that the bracelets do come in different sizes (width of lugs) and once they've been used they can stretch. They're not a rare part, but not common (if that makes sense), so you can afford to be a little picky rather than buying the first one that comes up.
