- Today we have a beautiful old triple calendar Orator on the bench. It seemed like a bit of a bargain when I bought it on eBay, but there might be something hiding under the surface here...
Join me for a lot of rust removal and other repairs as we try to get this watch in running condition.
There will be the usual banter and tangents and we'll get very acquainted with the two words uh and oh in that order!

I'm a child of the 60s and I've come to love men's dress watches from that decade. I always preferred the 70s designs that were more flash and glitzy but now I'm older, I'm appreciating the understated elegance and simplicity of 1960s wristwatches. Interestingly I'm not lured by the expensive brands. I much prefer the lesser brands that the working man wore. To me they tell more of a story.
90s kid here and the dress watches from the 50s and 60s are some of the most beautiful watches ever made imo
@@MyrtilysI am 2006 and I too like those watches,I am going to buy a vintage HMT watch
Ahh...the decade the moon landing was faked.
One of the best restorations I have ever seen in a watch of this type!!!!! The Mastery of this gentleman shows, and his teaching skills and explanations are Top Rate!!!!! Keep your excellent channel running!!!!!! A+++++++
Thanks so much, Jorge, that's very kind of you :) More to come, so stay tuned!
I agree
As a boy I had a friend who had his dad who was a watchmaker, I remember spending hours fascinated by watching him disassemble and reassemble watches. A true art.
That's very cool to hear :) These little machines are indeed very fascinating!
The precision and skill you display are truly mind-boggling. That poor watch was in a desperate state, but you brought it back to life. So good to see. One wonders how many others are languishing in drawers and boxes all over the world, just waiting for someone like you to resurrect them.
Thanks so much for that! Nowadays labor costs are so high that a lot of watches aren't commercially worth saving, unfortunately 😞
To my untrained eye, that watch looked beyond redemption, so it was a joy to see it running again at the end. Well done for persevering with it.
gods, the difference between a watch breaker, vs a Watchmaker. Amazing.
Thanks, that's very nice of you 😊
This has been an absolutely terrific restoration, one of the best I've seen. Except it's Billie my youngest daughter, who, for the last 3 years, has been teaching herself horology, for her watch restoration has been amazing. So I am thanking you from her, and will be subscribing to your channel shortly. Wishing you all the best, Wendi and Billie in the UK. 🌻
Very cool! 👍
I'm passionate about my job. But you spent a year or more on this project..... this takes passion, self belief and self motivation to a whole new level. Well done and thanks.
Wow. I am amazed how this man so confidently takes the watch apart, cleans, repairs and re-assembles it. I am very impressed.👍
A masterpiece of precision, patience, and skill. An amazing save of this little piece of horological history. I was holding my breath when you said "of course there was not problems in the rest of the assembly". I'm far too much of a newbie to figure out whether a part was somewhere it shouldn't. Dial looks great once it was cleaned.
Thanks so much, Clay! I had placed one of the jumpers upside down at first 😂
I can't seem to get anyone to fix the watch I got from my father, I just use it for video propa. th-cam.com/video/ZvEPoR8sARk/w-d-xo.html
Great video! thankfully this material is available for us on TH-cam.
It's a new world indeed... The first time I really remember thinking how everything could be found on TH-cam was in the movie "The next three days", when Russell Crowe used TH-cam to learn how to hotwire a car among other things 😁
I absolutely love seeing these beautiful pieces of engineering brought back to life! So amazing to watch. Love it! Thanks for the video!!
Stunning restoration and overhall. Just captivating to watch. . Beautifully explained as well and you have ended up with a gorgeous vintage watch
A genuinely outstanding piece of work in watch restoration, as well as in education for those who want to study all the intricacies of restoring such a complex piece of machinery as this watch. Fantastisch! Tausend Dank!
Honestly I thought I knew a ton about watch mechanisms and knew most things about how to restore it but the work you did on the escapement and the hairspring blew my mind.no one is going into this much detail about restoring watches.glad I found this video
Thanks for watching, Jerry!
Very satisfying to watch this. You have the voice of a patient watchmaker. Interesting 😊
He is not an ordinary person, his skills inspired me. Well done. Experience speaks louder than words.
Oh, I'm pretty ordinary, but it's very nice to hear you're inspired :) It's a great hobby/profession 😊
This service is absolutely perfect ! Starting with a non running watch with all those rusty stuff and finish with this accuracy is stunning !!
I really love triple date watch, and the final product is really shiny ✨
Thank again !! 👌
Thanks so much, Alain! 😊
Wonderful watch and admirable salvager. Thank you for the show!
I am 68 years old and i consider it an accomplishment to be able to set the time on my Casio G-shock, so I guess you can imagine I'm pretty impressed with your skill level. Thanks for posting this amazing video.
Thanks for watching it, Eddy!
When I was a child my father had a watch like this and I was always fascinated by the changing moon phase. It's long gone. I was enthralled by this miniature mechanical world and chuckled when you measured the jewel. "1 mm in diameter, now let's see the dimension of its central hole". What!
Great video with dry humorous commentary.
Thanks so much, Allan :)
Olevs makes an affordable copy.
Absolutely wonderful workmanship and restoration! Another watch saved from the graveyard. Kudos!
Your commentary is an added bonus which adds personality to your videos. Great stuff.
Cheers!
Thanks Angel!
Thank you so much for not giving up on that watch.
What a mess.
Love the little guy asking for pool toy retrieval.
😂
😁 Thanks so much, Scott!
It’s funny, the video saw immediately prior to this one was a short teardown and reassembly of an very elaborate (and expensive) new Patek Philipe - but this one was so much more compelling. Even through your dry humour, I really feel every joy and frustration that comes with the craft as you take us with you.
Another great restoration, this one though was a test of patience as well as skill, bravo!
Thanks a lot, Jon!
Thank you for sharing this amazing timepiece. The most delightful thing after a watch restoration is: when it works again and you can wear it! I am a rookie in this area and I love your work and knowledge's!
Thanks so much, that's very nice to hear :)
This was awesome. Thank you! Also, specifically thank you for the explanations. I personally love that. And the watch is fantastic!
Unsurpassed Sir one of the very best restorations I have seen your commentary excellent thank you 👍🏴
Apart from your skill, patience and knowledge, I am gobsmacked at how minute those bits 'n' pieces are, and the delicate dance of remembering where they all go. A masterpiece of surgical precision. Wonderful to watch ( LOL. no pun intended). Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Yes! How did they make the tiny screws and minuscule gear teeth long ago? Amazing anyone could put >100 parts back together with such ease.
I liked your question! Intresting to research..
you’re one of the best watchmaker I’ve ever seen, especially about the tools you use, brass and plastic as you can to avoid any kind of damage…great indeed!
Thanks so much Ricky! I don't think I'm particularly skilled, to be honest, but I do try to have godo habits :)
@@VintageWatchServices And Lord knows, we all need godo habits. :)
There is so much to talk, yet so less to say! This is pure Art - with an almost magical artist connecting generations of the past to the future ones to come.
Emotions speak louder than words!
What a pleasure to watch and listen to your work! Thank you.
Great video. It is nice to know the rust can be overcome in some cases. I am lucky enough to have a triple date moon phase chronometer with the Valjoux 88 movement. It was not working when I got it. It took a long time to find someone to service/fix it but I finalky did and it runs great now. A pain to set so I try and make sure I wind it everyday even if I am not wearing it that day. It was my Grand Father's watch so that makes it all the more special. Thanks again.
That is very cool, Nick! There aren't a lot of VJ88's around and they make for a very special watch :)
Excellent job. You put a lot of effort in and I'm sure the new balance wasn't cheap, but you have a great result that you can be proud of. I was glad to see your good luck when fixing the beat error. One nudge & you're done, yes it _does_ happen!
That was a master class in what could go wrong with water ingress along with damage jewels and damaged main springs. It's also a lesson in perseverance. Thanks for taking the time to show the rest of us.
Wow.... That was a very satisfying video to watch. Watching a true artist restore such a watch was really gratifying. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to document this process so wonderfully! Actually, other than other types of restorations, your narrations as you work really add 'color' to the whole process.
Thanks so much! My narration isn't while I'm working though, that would be very difficult 😁
Thank you for sharing! I wouldn't have known that piece of information. 🏴👍
Thank you Stian that was interesting and informative, i love fixing and servicing watches it's a joy, just fixed a Seiko NH3 series hair spring was a little challenging was really mangled, also got a Peseux 7066 on my table having a great time, cheers Stian had something good to watch with my tea.
That's very nice to hear, Dave! And best of luck with your watches :)
Hi Dave, how you doing, Boyd here. I also did a similar movement recently, a 7046. I also saw Jwoody commenting on this. We all obviously are great fans of Stian’s. See you with Kalle soon.
Wow - a lot of work on this piece!
Superb re-pinning and explanation. Quality complex content that not many videos cover. Thanks very much.
Masterful work. Unbelievably complicated and enthralling!
I love your videos! This one was particularly impressive! Many of the watch videos i've seen won't even attempt work on the hairspring, opting to just replace it instead...which you eventually did but the extremely delicate work on such a tiny part was awesome to see! You have much steadier hands than me! Very cool video!
Hello Erik, thanks so much! I'm not sure about the steadier hands but they generally get the work done 😉
@@VintageWatchServices Hello, regarding the balance @ 18:13 on the new ballance paper wrap cap, it is printed "721 N", I've also seen "721 U be" do you happen to know what the difference is other than the colour of the wheel and the spoke shape? Is the hairspring different quality too? I've looked online a lot but unfortunately no info. Thank you in advance, love the channel :)
Wow, with so much rust inside I haven’t thought that this watch could run again. It was very interesting to watch how you cleaned and restored it. Glad the “Schraubenlöser“ did its work again. I’m always smiling when you use German. Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much! My German is a bit rusty also 😎
It was a privilege and a joy to 'watch' the watch being brought back to life. Thank you.
I am not a watch guy at all but I enjoying watching these outstanding work. What a knowledge!!! Well done sir!!!!
I am a surgeon and am very impressed with your skill and patience. Do you ever polish the bridges and plate to remove rust stains and scratches?
Thanks so much! It's really a question of how far you want to go, as one could certainly replate and refinish the bridges and other parts, but it's just not worth it. Labor is so costly nowadays...
With vintage watches you want to keep as much original as possible, refinishing and re-plating the bridges would not make sense with most watches.
Yet another spectacular video, Stian! Thank you for leaning into this project so hard and sharing it. Also, thanks for sharing the balance/hair spring work - servicing low-grade movements as I do, I'm keenly interested in learning these skills. I'd love to see you vibrate a balance some day. Your explanations resonate with me very well and I'm sure I'd learn a lot. How did you go from -450s/d to about 0 s/d and still have the regulator arm nearly centered? BTW - Congratulations on that BE adjustment. Thanks again!!!
Thanks a lot, Woody! The regulator is not centered, as this old watch has a one piece index. With that kind of index you will in fact never have it really centered... That's only for newer watches :)
Hi Jwoody, Boyd here. Great to see you chatting with Stian, he’s great isn’t he! See you soon with Kalle!
Amazing to see a master at his work. And to watch the whole process was indeed a revelation. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another 'episode' that had me glued to the screen from start to finish. At the end I loudly exclaimed, "what a beauty"! I find myself falling more and more in love with my watch collection. Thank you so much for this. I do love the eerie sound as you dropped the bezel, watch case, and case back into the jar of fluid . That part always cracks me up.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Stunning work, Stian! I thoroughly enjoyed the video. I have been working to assemble a working Waltham 1894 balance and have had to perform hairspring manipulation, roller table removal, and soon will do impulse jewel replacement. I was impresset with the hairspring stud replacement. I now have the same staking tool and will get my vintage cleaning machine and mainspring winder soon.
...well, good luck.
Wow, that's really something, Doug! You're getting in very deep there 😁👍
You and the Nekkid Watch Maker are my favorite. Adding humor to the restoration process makes it both extremely entertaining and educational.
Thanks so much for that :) More to come, so stay tuned!
Beautiful watch indeed! Thanks for sharing and resurrect with such care and concern that beauty.
This makes me appreciate my mechanical watches even more. Awesome video!
Pure genius I really enjoyed watching a true craftsman at work, thank you.
👍
Great commentary, amusing, and with in-depth information. Very much enjoyed. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Master watch restoration and great filming of process of fixing so many issues.
An absolutely stunning watch and super restoration. Great work my friend. Loved every minute of that.
Thanks so much! 🤗
I love these videos. Relaxing,calming and enjoyable.
Glad you like them! Watchmaking should be a calm experience indeed, and when you're doing this kind of work you really get in the zone where time funny enough doesn't really exist! 😁
My weekend delight! 😃😃😃 It turned out beautiful, worth all the efforts that were required.
Thanks a lot, Donny!
Amazing work thank you for showing us.
Fantastic restoration of beautiful watch. Bravo 👏 👏
"As countless women have told me, that was fast". Love your commentary!
Amazing job! What a restoration!
Only the best workmanship possible! Lucky owner that had the possibility of sending it to you!
There is an English expression ‘Turning a sows’ ear into a silk purse’ and you have certainly achieved that with this watch.
An admirably magnificent job. Well done sir.
Thanks so much, Albert :)
Awesome. Thanks for talking and explaining.
Thanks so much, Mark! More to come, so stay tuned :)
Skilled fellow, this Stian. Impressive work.
Keep it up, we need professionals.. 😊👏
Thanks a lot 😊
Awesome job! Love your patience
What a great looking piece! Loved how well you were able to clean it up - it was quite rusty. I'm in the middle of my first revival of an Elgin grade 313 movement. I keep running into things that I either want or need. I'm looking forward to the day when I drop the balance back in and it goes.
Thanks Gary! And best of luck with your Elgin, it will be a very proud moment when it starts ticking :)
You really through me with the "personal connection" comment. I instantly thought of a dog which poops on the carpet once a week. I do enjoy watching your videos, as I always enjoy watching a craftsman at their work.
Absolutely fascinating! Well done!Thank you so much!
Thanks a lot, Johnny!
Dedication, expertise and experience. You are a master watchmaker.
Cant wait to watch more of your videos. Absolutely brilliant restoration and extremely good video production too.
Thank you very much, Brendan! More to come :)
Fantastic....I really enjoy watching your reconstruct the watch, fascinating! Great job!
Thank you very much, Sylvia!
Great job to save and restore a beautiful watch like this one. Really enjoyed the video, thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for that! More to come, so stay tuned :)
I thought this was going to be boring when I saw that rust ! What incredible skill in cleaning and putting that movement back into use. The regulator and hairspring work was incredible. I have been learning on Mantle clocks, travel clocks and am about to try to repair pocket watches so I am learning a lot from these videos. Excellent work !
Thank you very much, Michael :)
I am living as a watch technician vicariously, through you. Keep up toe good work.
Wow, thanks! 😊👍
The talent and patience you need ,the small intricate parts ,amazing
Wonderful restoration. A true master watchmaker. I feel like I have accomplished something just watching you bring this watch back to life.
Wow, very cool to hear :)
Thank you for the tea rust tip. Your skill once again is mesmerizing.
Strong tea works quite well 💪🍵
Great talent & patience ! Beautiful watch. Bravo
Sir, it is always a great pleasure to watch you at work, I can feel my heart rate come down & feel so relaxed just watching you do your magic.👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much, Barry :)
My word!!
What a stunning watch and the skill level needed to restore it is immense!!- Well done! 😍
Thank you very much!
Terrific work! So nice to see an old piece come back to life.
Thanks a lot, Kathy 😊
Your videos give me no end of pleasure and education. Thank you very much.
That's very nice of you, thanks!
Another excellent job, gorgeous watch ! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much, Ben!
1st time I've ever watched someone repair a watch, nothing to say but "Wow". Superhuman dexterity and skills, brilliant video.
Wow, thanks, Jim!
Love watching these skills, thank you, for your time.
Thanks so much!
I thoroughly and completely enjoyed watching this incredibly talented gentleman disassemble, clean, re-assemble and show how perfect this watch runs! 👏 👏 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great looking watch/Outstanding restoration....
Thank you kindly, Ralph 😊
Wow never seen this level of detail. Had a great time just listening and watching the video
I really enjoy your productions!!! Learning and humor all-in-one! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Lovely work Stian. I watched it and it felt like a meditation. A journey. You are a master.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Wow, that was a lot of work, and it paid off. Great job, I am very glad you restored this watch.
Spectacular. Love the humour, your voice and your incredible skills and patience.
Thanks! 😊
9:25 Oh wow that little humorous bit right there was unexpected but giggle inducing
Very nicely done.
A pleasure to watch and listen to, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job. Fascinating watching you work on such tiny parts. You've got some patience my friend.
Precious watch, and even more precious job. Congrats, Master.
Thanks so much, Fichamba!
Thank you for taking us along on the restoration of this classy vintage 60s watch. I love that you explain in such great detail all of the steps you take in bringing back this watch which was so damaged by rust. I restore old cars and we use sand paper and other harsh means and I can now see that even perhaps 2000 grit sand paper or brass brushes would destroy the watch gears and other pieces as they are so thin. Please keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How refreshing and exciting to see your work, in the throw away society that we live in today it's great to watch you taking time to restore time to these old watches.
Thank you so much!
