My mum dropped her husbands Tag Heuer Targa Florio Fangio and smashed the glass!The upshot is that the quote to replace the glass is £550 + £187 for a service,does this sound right?Even though it's a ltd edition piece it seems rather steep!

Sapphire dear boy.

It's not a current production watch but a good second hand one is £1100. It seems a bit steep to me. I'd phone around a bit.

Yup!

Cracked the sapphire crystal on my Carrera and TAG reckoned around £350 plus fitting.
They don't supply parts to anyone else and on a 1.8k watch what else can you do? It just *has* to go back to TAG for repair.

I'm claiming on my home insurance thank god ...
