·Ok I trust your opinion it seems like you really know what your doing and if 8 isn't common its got to be a 3. That would make the most sense....the side of it probably rubbed out. Thank you so much!

·Do a Google Image search for 'tag heuer wj131a' and you'll see plenty of pictures that look like your watch.

·Spent the last few days scouring the TAG catalogues and I'm astonished how many watches TAG have made, but also how repetitive the numbering is. Also how often they use combinations of the same numbers for straps, which must lead to ordering errors (I have first hand experience of this).
Also the numbering in the early nineties catalogues doesn't seem to follow the same pattern as the later codes, I see earlier in the thread there was an explanation of the 'size' code, do we know what the other codes mean? For example:
165.306/416/M/416/C

What that set of codes mean is as follows.
- The watch head is reference 165.306 (165 tells us it's an automatic 2000 Chronopgraph; 3 is the dial colour and 06 is the size)
- It comes with either a bracelet- code 416/ M
- ...or a leather (C= "Cuir"- French for leather) strap code 416/ C
That's why the numbers are re-used...because TAG Heuer offered the same bracelet/ strap on several different watches.

·Hi - new to the forum and TAG ownership although have long admired them. Recently I purchased a lovely Monaco calibre 6 Ww2111 that needs a little TLC, nothing major just some polishing and the strap is a little tatty. I want to replace it, and bring the watch back to its original specs and former glory. Usually I see the ww2111 Touted with the fc6204 suffix on the net, although this does not appear anywhere on my watch. From the info in this thread, and others, this would be a Monaco calibre 6 leather /alligator strap.( as appears to be fitted) . But unsure as to the exact meaning of "204 ", although I know the watch was availble with blue or black, alligator or leather straps. Where it gets a bit strange is that on my watches clasp it has FC5014 stamped, along with F N9, according to the table above this is a calibre 5 alligator strap. Does this mean that the strap and clasp have incorrectly been replaced at some time? Does this affect the resale value?
The table above does not seem to have many calibre 6 straps. . Was the same buckle used between models?
Any help greatly appreciated, as I've about exhausted my ability to uncover further information.

·6204 doesn't really mean anything. It is the unique code for the leather strap fitted to your watch. You will never see this code on the back of the watch. F = folding clasp and C = Leather/Alligator/Croc.
On the clasp FC5014 means it is a TAG Heuer branded, stainless steel clasp that fits a 2mm thick strap.
HTH.

·TAG Heuer changed to the current model reference codes around 1992. These are the latest codes from the 2014/ 2015 Catalogue

·Does it matter what gender the watch is labelled if it looks good on and feels right?
That said, it is kinda funny that, back in the 90's, there was a "Boy" version but no "Girl".
My son wears a lady-Seiko simply because it looks cool and grown up without being ridiculously oversize ir heavy for him. It does not have pink trim or sparkles!

·On the subject of model codes, can anyone help me with a variant of the S/EL series? I've seen a watch with the code S99.006 which is a two tone gold/brushed SS finish, with a grey face. I'm guessing the S99 is a genuine code since a Google search brings up the calibre11 S/EL "Ultimate Guide" page. But where did the S come from? And what about the other numbers?

It's a genuine code...but for a different model- below is S99.006
The most helpful place to look is the 1992/ 3 Catalogue which shows the old reference numbers (S99.006) and the new (WG1112- same watch). Here is the S/el page

·Thanks Ed. I apologise - there are two watches together and I mixed them up. The S99 seems to check out, as does the WG1120 which is the other.

Which repetitive combinations have you had?

·I mean the similarities, like WAH2112 WAH1112 etc... there is a well known mistake when it comes to WAH1110 which is two completely different Formula 1s though...

·Hi all,
I'm considering buying a 2000 series quartz and the number on the back is WK1120. Does anyone know when it might have been made and what caliber movement it has? It also has WG6959 below the model number. Please see pics.
Thanks,
henrylr
