Hi Kalle, my "life watch" has (still is) a Tudor Submariner bought in 1984, serviced periodically and still running strong. My impression of the brand stems from that purchase 40 years ago. At the time, I saw them as somewhat expensive (for a young engineer) functional, everyday mechanical movement "tool" watch, a decent movement with a very good (still branded as Oyster) waterproof case. They didn't carry the image "burden" of the Rolex which, even then, were marketed as the Sailing/Mountain climbing/Golfing/Tennis/Auto Racing prestige tool worn by lawyers and doctors in the middle age "conspicuous consumption/success" phase of their career. I wore mine in my work in pulp and paper mill steam plant work everyday (hot/humid/dry/dusty/dirty/cold/wet - you get the idea) and while fishing/sailing/hiking. Personally, I never thought of the movement finish -it was sealed in that neat case and was only seen during servicing. My mechanical engineer side appreciates the industrial finish as "fit for purpose". Added to that, the only other person I met that recognized the Tudor name was an ex-Navy diver -they were used in the Canadian Navy. Today the market is different, the boom in interest in mechanical watches and the choices in the market place probably dictate that the movements are more decoratively finished and provided with clear case backs. I know (from your live streams) that you appreciate the beauty of hand finishing a movement to a high standard (when no one but a fellow watchmaker might see it) and I appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship that the original watchmaker expressed in that creation, showing the "best that he could do". I'm not sure that much of today's movement decoration expresses that same spirit. In a tool watch, I would rather the money go into a solid case than automated geneva stripes, perlage and blue coloured screw heads😃😃
He really got his money's worth out of that watch..can't wait to see the restoration. 🎉
Sometimes Kalle makes a joke and I find myself laughing out loud, my wife is wondering what is so funny haha.
Hi Kalle. This is a wonderful video. I hope you are having or had a great vacation and thank you for doing these. You are truly a wonderful watchmaker or horologist. Also you have, in my opinion, very good taste in music. You mention Eric Clapton in this video. I know about Eric Clapton. I will leave the name of a group singing a cover of "Pictures Of Matchstick Men" which was done by a group called "Status Quo" in 1968 (I was around then, though much younger, to probably have heard this song. Anyway the group that covers this song is "Camper Van Beethoven" and there is a RUclips of them from about 14 years ago that you might enjoy. I like it a lot 🙂 Thank you again for all you have taught in these videos you make.
RSO Logo. Inspired by a legendary Japanese cow 'Akabeko'. Apparently a symbol of good health and good fortune.
First Tuesday of the month :) Astronomy club :)
Kalle, I was surprised to see a Glacydure balance wheel, I was certain to see a planer balance wheel! This may explain why earlier Tudor Black Bay ETA (equipped) were very precise. Earlier 7750 had 17 jewels, later on they added some, and getting to 25 jewels, this explains the oblong hole in the steel bushing (due to wear), your Tudor has 17. Very interesting video! 👌❤️👍
Bonus son? My hearing must be poor. That movement had more springs than a box spring mattress. I enjoy your diagnosis and the patience you have for describing all that you see. One day, I would like to see the cleaning and reassembly of one of these examples, beginning to end. Three of four videos I am more than willing to watch. Happy "vacation" to you.
Thanks for the stream Kalle, what a mess of gunk! Hope you have a good break with your family in London.
Great video! thanks Kalle. Love the movement, I prefer my money to go on quality assembly and robust workings, I don’t need very ornate plate decoration..
Thanks for the video, that's one well-used watch
Have a great holiday Kalle
Hi Kalle. Have a happy holiday. The green may be as a result of a spray lubricant onto original lubricant, given it is mainly from the movement side
Great looking watch and restoration. Wonder if that green splatter is part of the ball bearings’ oil and water intrusion then got distributed by the winding works rotor as it moved. Have fun in England!
I’m looking forward to this one. Looks like it’s seen a life.
If that were my watch, I take it into an Tudor retailer and point out the flaw in the dial and ask them to replace it.
The Black Bay chrono is probably my favorite at any price point.
If you ever have watched the movie "the andromeda strain" you know that the green stuff is coming from outer space. 😁
Hi, I enjoy watching all shows. I really liked this one pre-recorded. It is fun to listen to your thoughts while watchmaking without having to host your live audience.
from my chemistry background the green residue appears to be a condensated copper sulfate
Hi Kalle, hope your holl in the UK with the family is a good one, that Tudor is a little batterd, in need of a little TCL, i would like to tackle a chronograph it's my next journey to get one, was thinking of one of the ST 19 chinese mechanical movement, i wouldn't want to damage a vintage chronograph while i'm learning and they aren't very expensive, cheers Kalle enjoyable as always mate. Dave.
The green stuff is the alien pathogen from The Andromeda Strain movie. 👽
I love it ❤❤❤ it sure was opened up by a vandal. We should make new laws for people like this. How can you repair that?
Hi all from Jimmy in Dublin.
When Kalle zoom in I watch!
bedankt Kalle, fijne vakantie, lekker genieten!!
Hope you all are okay. Nice to see you work without responding to comments.
Thnx Jeffrey! 🙏🍀
Thanks Kalle for another very helpful video. Does anyone know where to buy the white horotec storage tray inserts Kalle uses ??
What happened to that spring???? I was making coffee as instructed but it wasn't mentioned again 😂😂
🤣
Hi Kalle, I hope you and your family are having a fantastic holiday in the UK! Thank you for another enjoyable stream.
One question - is it really ok to let down the mainspring in the manner seen in this video?
I have always been under the impression that any residual power in the mainspring should be released before the pallet fork is removed.
Some reasons I’ve heard are that the gear train simply isn’t designed to run down so much power so quickly, which could cause damage.
I’ve also heard that the escape wheel can collide at unusually high speed with the pallet stones as the fork is removed, which could chip the pallet stones.
I can see that the latter concern may be very unlikely so long as the pallet fork is lifted out and clear of the escape wheel in one smooth vertical motion, before the escape wheel gathers any speed, but if the pallet fork inadvertently moves as the pallet fork bridge is eased up off the main plate, then it seems like it could easily endanger the pallet stones as described above.
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts regarding this.
Hi Kalle, hi all! Hello from Moscow!
🎉 хе хе)) тоже смотрю
12:28 looks like condensation due a "thermal shock" (warm to cold ), than may cause long lasting "vertdigrey"/"green-grey" at some juctions between two metals ?
(rotor movement may explain the "evenly distributed" effet ? maybe ?)
43:50 👍 ...
I know exactly what the green stuff is: it's from a low-quality battery that leaked. :-)
I wonder if the green gunk is organic - a type of slime mold from them moisture?
looks like it was opened with a chisel & given a spray with WD 40 or GT 85 at some point in the past.
Can’t wait! 💃
Hi Kalle,is the rotor problem seen here a common occurrence in the 7750 series?
Was the watch ran over by a bus? Tuff watch lol
No solid end links?
On a watch like that?
How would moisture get in?
This Tudor seems to be pretty complicated movmnt
Soylent Green?
Like Tudor but have issues with the hands. To edgy/sharp for me.
A pre-recorded live stream 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hello
It looks like a tiny string of glue on the diet
Well always considered a poor man’s Rolex
