FAQ
Q: Is this TAG Heuer Aquaracer genuinely pre-owned and authenticated?
A: Yes, this WBD1120.BB0930 is an authentic pre-owned TAG Heuer Aquaracer that has been thoroughly inspected and verified by our experienced team at Cassims & Co. We guarantee the authenticity of every timepiece in our pre-owned collection and provide full documentation with your purchase.
Q: What is the difference between the stainless steel and gold-plated components?
A: This two-tone model features a stainless steel case and bracelet centre links, with 18ct yellow gold-plated bezel, crown, bracelet outer links, and dial accents. The gold plating provides luxurious aesthetic warmth while the steel ensures durability and structural integrity, creating the classic Aquaracer two-tone appearance.
Q: Can I actually dive with this watch to 300 metres?
A: Yes, the Aquaracer WBD1120.BB0930 is a genuine diver's watch rated to 300 metres (1000 feet) water resistance. It features a screw-down crown and unidirectional rotating bezel for tracking dive time. However, we recommend having the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, particularly for diving activities.
Q: Does the quartz movement require battery replacements?
A: Yes, Swiss quartz movements are battery-powered and typically require replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage. Our watch servicing team at Mall of the South can replace the battery using proper tools and pressure testing to maintain water resistance integrity. We recommend professional battery replacement rather than high-street services to preserve your watch's performance.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist, and can it be adjusted?
A: The bracelet measures approximately 190mm (7.50 inches) in length and can be professionally sized to fit most wrist sizes. Our team at the Mall of the South boutique will adjust the bracelet at no additional charge to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit when you collect your watch or before shipping.
Q: What warranty coverage comes with this pre-owned TAG Heuer?
A: As a pre-owned timepiece, this watch is sold with a comprehensive inspection and authentication guarantee from Cassims & Co. While it does not carry the original manufacturer warranty, we provide detailed servicing history where available and stand behind the quality and authenticity of every watch we sell. Extended warranty options may be available upon request.
Q: How do I care for the gold-plated elements of this watch?
A: The 18ct yellow gold plating should be handled with care to preserve its lustre. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and chlorinated water. Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. While the watch is water-resistant for diving, frequent exposure to saltwater should be followed by rinsing with fresh water and drying. The plating thickness on TAG Heuer watches is substantial, but professional re-plating services are available if needed after years of wear.

Care Guide
- Water Resistance Maintenance: Although rated to 300 metres, have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly swim or dive with this watch. Seals and gaskets deteriorate over time and require replacement to maintain integrity.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured before water exposure. Never operate the crown or bezel underwater, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Cleaning: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pools. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Clean the bracelet and case periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry completely.
- Gold Plating Protection: Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning products that can damage the gold-plated surfaces. Remove the watch when applying lotions or fragrances.
- Bracelet Care: The two-tone bracelet may accumulate dirt between links. Clean regularly with a soft brush and ensure the bracelet is dried thoroughly, particularly around the clasp mechanism.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker every 2-3 years or when timekeeping becomes irregular. Professional replacement includes pressure testing to verify water resistance remains intact.
- Storage: Store your Aquaracer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields. A watch box or pouch will protect it from scratches and dust.
- Servicing Schedule: We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years, which includes movement cleaning, lubrication, seal replacement, and water resistance testing to ensure optimal performance.
- Impact Protection: While robust, avoid subjecting the watch to unnecessary shocks or impacts that could affect the quartz movement or case integrity.
- Professional Assistance: For any technical issues, bracelet adjustments, or servicing needs, consult Cassims & Co.'s watch servicing department rather than attempting repairs yourself.
