Thanks for restoring my watch to such precise detail!! ❤ You are far from Miami but worth the wait and the distance. I would not have entrusted that piece to anyone else. Brilliant work!
I would call this almost a rebuild, with work on the bracelet and polishing. One of your most thorough restorations, Stian. Thanks for showing us your detailed, careful work.
@@johnsrabe Hi! You are so welcomed. Thanks for your comment. It was a hard decision because as a collector I don’t like to polish my watches. However in this particular case, this piece had already been polished and was badly scratched. It belonged to one owner and was his daily wear. I trusted Stian and I’m very happy with the restoration.
Stian!! Long time no see! I really enjoyed your rapier wit and dulcet voice as you applied hammer and tong to the Big Rose Tudor. An ETA movement is not a bad off the shelf movement, I feel, although it ain't Rolex. I confess I harbor lukewarm affection for Tudor. The budget little brother to the Crown. But in 1959, that is still a damn fine watch!! So very nice to watch you again!! Best, Stephen ❤❤😊
One can really feel your Viking roots sometimes: you really do love hammering at things, don't you? :-) Fantastic work as usual, it's great to see you work on the bracelet - it's quite rare to see that in video. The part that amazes me the most is how you deal with the hairspring. I have messed with hairsprings on a couple of junk pocket watches. This has taught me one thing: _do _*_not_*_ mess with hairsprings, leave it to the professionnals!_ ;-) That's a beautiful vintage Tudor, nice patina on the dial and the movement is very nice.
Tudor too thick and too big for my 17cm wrist. The only Tudor that I owned was the Original Black Bay which had stuck reversing wheels two months after the guarantee expired . Got my watchmaker to fix it then sold it for more than I bought it for new.😊
I hope the powers that be at Rolex choose to restore the ROSE on the dial of their Tudor watch line soon. It is unique to this brand and should - in my opinion - be restored.
So nice to have another video from you. Really enjoyed watching your skills at work on this one. You make it look easy - always the sign of a true professional. Thanks for posting.
Cool watch to work on, as you said a straightforward one but always interesting by the final shiny result ! Finish result it so nice !! Thanks for sharing, I really love this one !! ✨👌
Great to have you back after quite some time, Stian. And thank you for another excellent video: 👍👌👏! I am not a fan of metal bracelets, preferring leather straps, but the amount of time and expertise you spent on restoring this one is just amazing.
Wow! I know I am becoming repetitive in my comments but… wow! These videos have been far in between but I just love it when they come out. Always a lovely respectful restoration and the macro footage of your insanely fine motor skills has me living vicariously as a watchmaker. Thank you
I know it's going to be a good day when a notification for a new VWS video pops up on my computer. A fine piece of work. Best wishes to you and the family heading into the holidays, Stian.
The Rose is so beautiful, a really special and interesting logo! A functional and clean design for everyday usage but with good built quality Brilliant work as always, cheers from Greece! Jim
That was beautifully executed, Stian. I especially enjoyed this video because the watch reminded me of one my father owned for many years and later regretted parting with. It was a Tudor Oyster Royal. The batons were slightly different and there was more texture on the dial surface, but overall, it was very similar to this watch. Thanks for another great episode.
@VintageWatchServices I really did. My dad's watch had the small rose imprint and a 'waffle' finish on the dial. I'm sure it was 50s vintage, though. The work you did on the watch in this video was very comprehensive. Interesting to see the amount of work you put into the bracelet. Do you charge by the hour or for the whole job? If you use the content for a video, does the customer receive a discount? Just interested to know how you work things out, from a business perspective.
New subscriber 😊thank you for the videos. Long time Tudor fan. My first Tudor was new in 1985, a 79090. Wearing my Black Bay 58 while enjoying this video.
Stian, while I enjoy watching you fix the intricate innards of a watch, I really love the case finishing, bracelet fixing, etc., which are tasks I can see myself doing, unlike the more complicated and delicate stuff. Basically, if it’s outside the watch, I’ll try it. If it’s inside the watch, I’m off to my local brick and mortar Romanian watch repair man on Foothill Blvd. thanks as always for your videos and congratulations on the growing supporter base. I suppose I should join them.
Hi Stian good to see you back. I hope you enjoyed your training and it went well. I noticed a distinct lack of facial hair - clean shaven at the start of Movember? 🙂 You asked what we think about Tudor. I think they are fine TOOL watches that filled the gap Rolex left behind when they went for the diamond encrusted market where oil Sheiks and foul-mouthed English footballers are Which is fine as a few friends can now afford them!
Stian great results with the Watch and strap. Also great to see that your recent training session at the Arnold Schwarzenegger School of Watch making wasn’t just about bench pressing and barbell curls but also sledgehammer tippy tap time. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Great tips about the hairspring! Love your easy alignment trick. What machine is that lapping / buffing machine you're using? Absolutely beautiful work! The watch looks amazing, a vintage style I would definitely wear. I can't believe you took apart all the bracelet links and restored that bracelet so beautifully! Fantastic work!!
Awesome job, looks amazing. Great video, really liked seeing how you fixed the bracelet. Obviously the pee and poop aspect was the most profound part of the video, hilarious but true! Thanks for another stellar video.
New Tudor, FXD in titanium and fixed bracelet bars, blue dial and preferably blue bezel, but black would do also. Only deal breaker is no date, and a day indication would make it perfect.
Currently, Tudor’s latest dress watches are boring. Since they have the 54 and 58, they should consider bringing this back. I’d buy immediately. The large rose is my favorite aspect.
Stian, this is such a handsome watch, I really like the face. It's simple, but elegant. And of course, I have some questions. Why does a watch run differently in either a horizontal or vertical position? Regarding the bracelet, through the magic of editing, repairing the bracelet went quickly. However, how long did it really take to repair the bracelet? The liquid in the container you use in the ultrasound appears to have some viscosity to it. What makes up that liquid? Sorry I had so many questions, but as you know I really enjoy your humor and information you include in your videos. I hope you and yours are healthy and at peace. Cheers from this inquisitive retired old coot living the dream in Tennessee.
Hello Robert, a watch will run a bit differently due to tiny inconsistencies in weight distribution and roundness+flatness of the balance wheel and the hairspring. The bracelet took me about half a day in total and the liquid in the jar I used is Elma Red 1:9 😊
Hi. Excellent work with the balance spring. By the way, I've always eard that this spring should be cleaned with the rubis on, for better safety. But you take them off before cleaning. Maybe your modern cleaning machine is more gentle than the old ones, I don't know... Anyway, thanks for showing :)
Hello Carlos, there's basically zero risk of damaging the pivots when the balance is screwed to the mainplate, in my opinion, and it should clean the pivots better if they are not covered by the cap stones. But as with anything there are many ways of doing a task and it might be that different teachers and schools have different preferences :)
● *Great job and it's a gorgeous watch I would be proud to wear.* ● *_I have a suggestion; from about 34 minutes and 35 seconds of this video, where the final product is so handsomely displayed, consider the inclusion of different music._* ● My suggestion is an excerpt from the piano prelude of the 1st minute and 18 seconds of the song "Sofrito" by Cuban musician Mongo Santamaria.
As always, an enjoyable and informative video. Thank you for creating it. I have heard of a process called "poising" a balance, but I don't recall ever seeing a video that you have made that explains what this is all about. If you come across a watch that needs "poising" in the future, would you please educate all of us about what makes this necessary and how it is done?
Hello Michael, poising is the process of reducing/eliminating weight distribution inconsistencies in the balance wheel. There are two flavors, static and dynamic. I'll do both in an upcoming series but that will be in a few months. There is of course a chance I'll have to do it also on a watch before that :)
Great video Stian! I have an old Tudor, mine with the smaller rose. I love this bigger rose! I’m not a new watch fan, nor really a Rolex fan since it’s all about branding, so unfortunately that rubs off onto Tudor. However, I only like old things, so maybe in 20 years time I might like modern Tudors? Loved the wee and poo insight, thank your daughter for me😂. How do you know how to adjust a balance hairspring in situ while running, I have enough trouble doing it off the wheel? How do you stop caseback gaskets from twisting as you put it on, I noticed when you put it on it started to look like it might twist like mine do often. Where have you been fella, we have all really missed you! Really looking forward to watch dial videos! Ta ta.
Hello Boyd, thanks for your message :) I've been in training for six weeks and haven't had much time to make videos... The hairspring action is actually less complicated than you think, it's basically like this: the hairspring needs to be in the middle between the pins or pin and boot and if it is not, you can push or pull it at the stud. That should also help it develop more uniformly. It also needs to be centered on the jewel of course. If you put the case back gasket on with the tweezers there shouldn't be much risk of it twisting, I should think?
@@VintageWatchServices thanks Stian! It’s about practice. We want to see the goods of your training😁tell us all about it, many of us are watching for information, entertainment is fun as well of course. Have a great week, I’m working on a 1952 Longines 12.68ZS, loving it so far, but you can never be sure until the straps back on!🤣
16:02 Nice whistle you owl 😂 Btw, seeing you repairing the bracelet, i'm sure many (normal...) tools could do the job, but knowing your kinkiness( it's with "i", not "y", had to search it!) i'm sure you have "special" ones, maybe from Tudor themselves! PS Tudor will always remain Tudor, or else they'll have to rename the family, after centuries...😋 PS2 I use a sponge for a bracelet's extension
Can you tell me the make and model of the curved tweezers you're driving? The more I worked on the Timex Q movement I mentioned recently, the more I longed for a pair of curved tweezers to see if they would make the approach angles better. The Timex came with a pile of old quartz watches and one mechanical my Uncle sent me to kickstart my watchmaking interest a couple weeks back. I actually finished it Saturday night. It was a non-runner when I got it and I was able to diagnose the problem and fabricate a new part. I never knew you could service a quartz watch--actually, until several weeks ago I didn't know about watches at all. I was sooo excited when I actually got the train wheel bridge to seat correctly, and even more excited when the movement sprung back to life. Yippee! I know it's a low end movement according to many, but that point where it springs back to life has to feel the same but matter the type.
Congrats! That's a great achievement! 💪 The tweezers I use are from Regine Horology, you can get them directly from them by sending a mail to info@regine.ch
What an absorbing video!!!. Stian, I noticed some marking on the dial side above the words TUDOR GENEVE, similar to the markings on a balance bridge showing ( +) & (-). Can you throw some light regarding the markings? Eagerly awaiting for the workshop tour.
Thanks, K! The markings were common on movements in the old days, they are for timing the watch. The watchmaker could put a hand on and see the movement of it against the scale.
Hej Stian, bra jobbet på urklockan som alltid. Den roligaste momenten av din video var med hundar och deras tävling med skall :D Den interresante momenten var, när du mäter noggrannhet i olika positioner och skillnad är så stor. Sedan gör du en precis rörelse med "hairspring" inne axel och problem försvinner. Det förstår jag inte.. Hälsar, Tomas från Tjeckien
Tjenare Tomas, jeg forklarte ikke hva jeg gjorde veldig godt så jeg skjønner hvorfor du spør :) Det er to trinn; først må index pinnene være så tett sammen at hairspringen bare har littegrann bevegelsesrom og deretter må hairspringen være i midten mellom index pinnene. Det var dette siste jeg gjorde med å presse på hairspringen nær studen.
Great to see a vid from you! Thanks for the Norwegian wisdom: Tastes are like the butt!!! Lol. I would love to understand it In Norwegian since I’m sure it loses something in translation! 😅 Cheers!
Hello, can I ask if I have a hamilton eta 2892a2, so the error is low when the clock face is up and down, and when the clock knob is at 6 o'clock, the difference is high. thank you.
How much would a restoration usually cost? I don't think I can get this kinda service any where in India. I have my grandpa's old enicar watch that deserves this kinda touch but I have no way of making it happen. Beautiful watch that needs a little but if love to work better
I love the tudor movement, and the tudor brand, but in my mind it'll always be a lower cost alternative to Rolex. I mean, like every oyster style watch design. If they want to compete with Rolex, I think they'll need to come out with some unique, signature designs. They can't just make an oysterdate with a rose logo and expect to fetch Rolex prices, in my opinion.
In changing the logo from the rose to the shield, Tudor ensured I would never buy a new watch from their brand. I wouldn't buy a new Grand Seiko for similar reasons but I prefer the designs from the mid-20th century anyway.

I sent a link to this video to my brother, who is also a watch lover. He enjoyed it very much, and is now a subscriber to your channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
The older Tudors IMHO look much better than the new designs of today, great to have you back!
How much is the average range price of a Vintage Tudor?
Thanks Joshua, and I agree wholeheartedly :)
Yes!!!
Although a busy and satisfying video with a lot of time lapse, I knew we'd still get the slow mo for the ultra sonic solution drop!
Allways a nice and refreshing video! 😊😊👋

Thanks, Victor! Stian 😉
Great to see you back. Wonderful job on the Tudor
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!
I can’t trust a watchmaker who wears a smart watch…❤😂
You can trust Stian!
Mine used to wear a Rolex Daytona but he came to a sad end😢.
Tudor too thick and too big for my 17cm wrist. The only Tudor that I owned was the Original Black Bay which had stuck reversing wheels two months after the guarantee expired .
Got my watchmaker to fix it then sold it for more than I bought it for new.😊
The smart watch is only a dummy during work, I think.....😂😅
😅
Wonderful my friend hats of to you 😁👍👍👍
I’ve watched this twice now and learned more each time. Thanks for the great video Stian!

Thanks for watching!
Great video, thanks for explain all steps.
That was beautifully executed, Stian. I especially enjoyed this video because the watch reminded me of one my father owned for many years and later regretted parting with.
It was a Tudor Oyster Royal. The batons were slightly different and there was more texture on the dial surface, but overall, it was very similar to this watch.
Thanks for another great episode.
Glad you enjoyed it!

My dad's watch had the small rose imprint and a 'waffle' finish on the dial. I'm sure it was 50s vintage, though.

Great to see a vid from you! Thanks for the Norwegian wisdom: Tastes are like the butt!!! Lol. I would love to understand it In Norwegian since I’m sure it loses something in translation! 😅 Cheers!
Smaken er som baken, den er delt i midten :)

Hello, can I ask if I have a hamilton eta 2892a2, so the error is low when the clock face is up and down, and when the clock knob is at 6 o'clock, the difference is high. thank you.
There wasn't actually any question in that but you would need to have the watch serviced if the difference is big :)
رائع ومحترف
ًشكراً جزيلا!

How much would a restoration usually cost? I don't think I can get this kinda service any where in India. I have my grandpa's old enicar watch that deserves this kinda touch but I have no way of making it happen. Beautiful watch that needs a little but if love to work better
It depends on the watch of course, but for a not too complicated watch around 4-500 euros.
I love the tudor movement, and the tudor brand, but in my mind it'll always be a lower cost alternative to Rolex. I mean, like every oyster style watch design. If they want to compete with Rolex, I think they'll need to come out with some unique, signature designs. They can't just make an oysterdate with a rose logo and expect to fetch Rolex prices, in my opinion.
In changing the logo from the rose to the shield, Tudor ensured I would never buy a new watch from their brand. I wouldn't buy a new Grand Seiko for similar reasons but I prefer the designs from the mid-20th century anyway.
Two US Presidents today!
Lincoln the description.
Nixon scratches.

May I ask what the references of the bracelet and endlinks are. I have such a Tudor but no bracelet for it. Thanks!
I honestly do not know but you should be able to find it by googling your watch's reference and bracelet
@@VintageWatchServices thanks for your reply! I really appreciate your videos. Very well done and instructive!
