Restoring a Vintage Tudor Oyster Watch !!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- I bought this vintage Tudor Oyster watch at auction. I love Tudor and this is a watch that I wanted to restore. The unique honeycomb dial and the beautiful configuration of hour markers and hands made me fall for this watch. I hope you will enjoy the restoration of this watch.

Love this video. Looking for a Tudor prince big rose 🌹. So loving this video
👍
Would be proud to own that watch
It is a nice one
As always another wonderful job. What an iconic watch. It's good to see it got another chance to shine again. Well done.
Thank you very much
I was having a bad day... But, as usual, seeing this watch restoration calm me down and make my day a little better... Thanks for this!
Glad to help
You are a superb craftsman !! I'm so happy to find your site. I hope to eventually send my beloved 50s 7903 Tudor oyster for a servicing that it so deserves...thanks from Lance in New Zealand.
No problem. It is a great watch
Wonderful as always buddy, I look forward to watching this tonight with a nice drop of rum
Have fun!
Tout à fait belle cette Tudor, j’adore la beauté du mouvement !
Super travail ! ✨👌
@@alaindrolet_atlt_2019 merci Alain
Super Video thans very much , i really like Tudor ETA powered watches , and in some examples prefer them such as the Pelagos
Yes they are nice but I prefer when a brand makes their own caliber
@@FrenchWatchCollector Yes i have both . the MTare are perform to a higher level but i find the ETA versions are nicer watches to wear , thanks for the vid very intresting
Beautiful dial!! ⌚️😍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It really is!
Perfect excellent as always. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thank you very much Bruce!
And yet another Tudor beautifully restored. I love every moment of your restoration process. Awesome... ✨✨
Thank you so much 👍
Yo mon ami! Le meilleur médecin horloger à le faire ! 👑⌚
Merci 👍
For a hobbyist, I think you are excellent!!!
Thank you Joel
I had a chance to buy one of these about 10 years ago but passed. Soon after an El Primero that I wanted came and I bought that.
These Tudor dials have gone up in price but watch collecting is not about that.
You should buy the watch speak to you and not for the value. I prefer as well an el primero over this so I understand your choice
That is a beautiful watch that I would be proud to own. Very nice work.
Love it too
Another nice restoration. It seemed as though the hands were missing any lume, There is lume on the hour markers. Do you intend to lume these hands?
I like to keep it original sometime
It's a nice mouvement, what surprised me and this is probably because my personal preference, the mouvement hasn't got a hacking function. The dial is absolutely stunning and wow the hour hands, they are lovely. Hold on you are telling me Tudor/Rolex is using an outsourced of the shelf ETA mouvement? Oh yes the Black Bays used an ERA to didn't they and are in fact more expensive the the newer once with the in house movements.
Rolex did not use ETA but Tudor did until very recently
@@FrenchWatchCollector Well Rolex is Tudor and Tudor is Rolex. When I called them the other day for a sponsorship for a Tombola I am planning this year for our Charity, they gave me the same email address and I requested a sponsorship from each of them separately but only got one response back so they are defenerey one and the same. I don't know but I wonder if Tudor is Rolexes Comunite Urban because Rolex is a charity and Tudor a business. Although both are owned by Wilsdorf
Very nice job. It's so much more interesting when there a specific problem to be fixed. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Well done and thank you for posting!!
Thank you for watching
Fantastic video as always, will you do a video of your worcking bench where you show your tools?
I will do some videos with the tools and equipment a bit later on. It takes some time but I will do it
Tres bien... Im a Tudor fan and this one is great looking after your service. Interesting that that spring broke..- and that replacement parts are relatively easy to find. I noticed you didn't tape or mention the greasing of the pallet jewels. Presumed it was done.. Such a great job on the service, as usual. Merci....
Thank you. The pallet fork was oiled. It is hard on camera
bonjour, très bonne vidéo comme toujours.
si je dois acheter 3 huiles et graisses pour une montre, lesquelles vous me conseilleriez ?
9104, 9010, 9501
What is the "special product" you used to clean the dial?
I use lighter fluid or isopropyl
Fantastic video is always❗️quick question,
did you put the main spring
on top of the balance‼️®️™️
It is a hair spring that goes on top of the balance
@@FrenchWatchCollector and understand...
I meant when you put it into the cleaner/tray
I thought you put the main spring
on top of the balance in the cleaner tray
@@roryvonbrutt7302 yes but it doesn't touch
@@FrenchWatchCollector ... Thank you for your response.
Of course I'm not judging you. I am just a fan,
A very curious and alert fan‼️®️™️ 👏👏
Can you please give a link fot the, smoothing broshes, broches?

@@FrenchWatchCollector Merci mon amie
Oh man what a stunning watch
I wonder how much one of these go for?
To be fair no clue
Great work! That Tudor is gorgeous! Any reason why at 14:22 where you cut to use the staking tool it's just frames of your pad and hammering in the background? Doesn't cut back until you are smoothing the hole.
I just forgot to change my camera angle 😅
Good video, nice watch a new sub too, Cheers 👍👍
Awesome, thank you!
I was taught to lubricate a smoothing brooch with a drop clock oil when using it. Were you? And do you? Also, did you find out the patent name of these shock jewel assemblies?
I don’t use oil but maybe it is a good practice
@@FrenchWatchCollector I know you also wipe the brooch (I hope I'm spelling that correctly (broach?)) between strokes, and the white cloth would wipe off black, which had to come from the watch. At the very least, it keeps you from contaminating the next pivot hole.
Thanks for the vid! Whar was the price of the watch on ebay? If it is not a secret
I did not buy it on ebay. I think it was around 800€
Great review, by the way, I find some tudor big rose showing [T swiss T] at 6 o'clock area, since both indexs and hands do not find tritium area, it seems [T] doesn`t mean tritium, do you know what this [ T] mean? Thx!
Normally like you said it is tritium. It might be on the dial because they made one dial for different combo and some are without lume
@@FrenchWatchCollector Tks for quick reply, as u said, if tudor wrongly assembled T swiss T dial on the watch which withoit tritium function, it means tudor mislead not only customer in 60's but till now and future, right?
Are Tudor made in Rolex facility or sep assembly ,
I don't know
Love the waffle dial. It cleaned up very nice. May I ask what solution you used? I've found anything but water to be risky.
Waiting for the answer :D @TFM let him have Friday with family.
I use lighter fluid or naphta
Hi, does the movement compatible to ETA cal.1080 or cal.1156? Thanks
This is a 1156 and you are right it is the same family as the 1080 so they are compatible
Do you know about Tudor cal.2843-2? Does it compatible to2824-2?
Nice video of an OK watch: thank you. P.S. I have just an address for you, though: Watch Repair Channel - great soundtrack.
Thank you too!
@@FrenchWatchCollector P.S. I have just an address for you, though: Watch Repair Channel - great soundtrack.
Would be nice to see you working on pieces that require something beyond a service, notjust out of the box running ebay finds
I did some on my channel already. look at the video on the speedmaster Mark III the blue one for exemple
