Hi Eric, tough to give you a good answer on that. I wonder if they tried contacting TAG Heuer Switzerland to see if they have any parts?

I have a 220.206, a gift which I have been wearing for there last 20+ years. It is in need of an over-haul, but heuer told me they stopped stocking parts for it over 5 years ago. I would really like to have it restored for sentimental value…..could any one suggest whom I would go to for something like that?

I live in the Los Angeles area. Any info. Is much appreciated.

my wife bought the 223206 for me at an estate sale. The watch and band are in perfect condition. Would you happen to know where I can find more links? I tried Tag and they could not help me. Right now I have a Breightling band on it just so I can wear it.

Hi Tom,

Yes, you have the reference number right: The quartz model is 220.206, while the Automatic is 120.206. These were very expensive back in the day..the top of the TAG Heuer range.

Its worth? Tough one, and likely to be disappointing for you. These have yet to get to that collectable stage, so its probably several hundred dollars, depending on condition, books, box, etc…but I think under US$1,000

I suspect that repairing it may not be economic unless the watch has sentimental value (lets say that a service is $200)- its a hard call, so depends on why you want to fix it.

Cheers

I was researching my watch and it seems to meet some of the parameters in this series but it is not identified. It is a Heuer titanium automatic chronograph. The face, back, crown, and band all say Heuer, not Tag. The back of the case is stamped 120206, but I can’t find model 120.206 listed anywhere. I bought the watch new from a jewler in 1992 or 1993. It looks like the 220.206 without the Tag part on it. It has stopped working and would like to get it fixed, but would like what it is and what it’s worth first. Any ideas?

Well I looked inside and it says 7750 and has the {val}, same as the Heuer Pasadina, you said this one looks the Orfina, which it does, but the Orfina has the Lemania movement, is that a plus or negative?

Wow! Thanks!!! So I guess then it’s a lemania 5100 inside, what if it is titanium, would that make it more obscure then just ‘poor man?’It won’t scratch even with a knife tip that’s why I thought it was.

Thanks for the photos Charles.

My guess- is that what you have is actually a “Poor Man’s” Orfina/ Porsche Design, not a Heuer.

The two watches are very, very similar, although Heuer stopped making the Pasedena in the early 1980s, whereas the Orfina lasted a little longer. There was never a Ti Pasedena….and I’m not 100% sure that yours is Titanium (could just be a satin-finish to the case)

Take a look here: http://www.bdwf.net/forum/showthread.php?t=71055

The side profile of your watch looks a closer match for the Orfina.

Either way, nice watch..but maybe not a Heuer.
