Today we have this utterly gorgeous Tudor Prince Oysterdate from 1985 on the bench! The mocha dial with gold lettering matches the yelllow gold bezel fantastically but that doesn't really help if the watch is not running.
Join Stian for finding out what the problem is and a discussion of Tudor as a brand. We'll have a private conversation with ETA about their business policies and we'll do some midnight black magic to fix a part. Viewer discretion is advised!

Beautiful watch,...never seen this mocca dial before. Stunning....Looks like the barrel was in a fish and chipsshop...what an amount of oil. Nice tip on using 6 arbor and 7 tube for the spring. Wondering why you did not work the caseback for the scratches?
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Thanks Rich! The 2824 has an awkward barrel arbor to barrel diameter ratio, and using the #7 winder arbor expands the inner end too much, but I believe you can buy specific winders for it. The case of the watch has never been polished and looks very good in person, so I decided not to touch it. I'm pretty conservative in that way :)

I have a similar Tudor but with champagne dial, polished bezel and hollow link oyster bracelet. Made in 1979 but I purchased it new in 87! Wore it every day for 20 years working as a mechanic so it is a working man's Rolex, not a poor man. Just serviced and back on the wrist. Love the video, now I know what the magic looks like inside!

Hi Stian, this healing-band for mainsprings is actually also available in different sizes, up to XXL. (the link to manufacturer is known, but top secret). I use this band for fixing broken camshafts or piston-rods. Works great, but more candles and much garlic are necessary. Best regards and greetings 😊

Tudor is Tudor nothing poor man's about it, especially now they've got movements of their own. cheers. 👍
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Thanks a lot, Dave! These movements are indeed very nice to work on and they aren't as omnipresent as they are for no reason :) I honestly prefer Tudor's to Rolexes, but there is this wrinkled nose attitude towards Tudor among many Rolex owners... Mostly the kind of Rolex owners who buys their watch for the bling factor, I would suspect.

Really cool watch! Personally I'd prefer an Eta 2824 to a fancier in-house movement since it's easier/cheaper to get it serviced. As you said it's also a fairly approachable movement, and for someone learning watch repair, it seems like a logical next step after terrorizing pocket watch movements.
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Thanks for watching! ETA movements are very high quality and ones like the 2824 are battle tested over many decades, so it's certainly not a bad choice. There's just this mysticism around in-house movements that a lot of manufacturers chase, when it might be better to use something like this one. And yes, this is a nice movement to work on after having made your pocket watches run again 😉

Tudor still makes some nice watches, but I prefer the old hand style like this vintage one has. The Eta 2824 is a solid movement which is why it's found in so many good watches. We had 25cm of snow here in Cape Breton and it didn't make too many happy (except kids that got a snow day away from school).
@VintageWatchServices

Hello Peter, thanks for your comment! Yes, Tudor has moved up in the luxury segment but I really don't like their Style series. I'm not a big fan of Rolex nor Tudor, but new Tudors certainly have a strong market position. Growing up in Norway I love winters, but the snow had already largely melted away here close to Lake Geneva. 25cm is a lot, though!

Another very nice video of your professional work. I've noticed that you treated the escape and the pallet fork with fixodrop, and then you cleaned the pivots on the peckwood. In one of the watchmaker's books, I was reading that the pallet fork should be cleaned as well because when oscillating, the impulse jewel will grind. What is your opinion? Thank you for your thorough technical explanations.
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Hello Ioannis, thanks for watching! I've been taught to clean the pivots after using fixodrop, but there might indeed be benefits to cleaning the fork also. Which book did you read that in if I may ask?
@ioannisdamigos708
@ioannisdamigos708 2 года назад
@@VintageWatchServices MAINTAINING AND REPAIRING MECHANICAL WATCHES: A PRACTICAL GUIDE. PAGE 147 Warning: ( Fixodrop must not to be applied to the pallet pivots or fork area. Only the stones must be treated, otherwise, this will lead to excessive wear. AND another warning next page: If you immerse the whole of the pallet frame in Fixodrop this will have the adverse effect of wearing out the impulse pin. This is due to the Fixodrop being present in the notch of the pallet's frame and eventually turns into a powder, which will slowly grind down the impulse pin. I have mixed information about Fixodrop and I am not convinced about its use. Does it helps or not. I am treating the pallet stones, the escape wheel, and the reversing wheels In line with the service manual of Rolex.I guess I need to experiment with a movement to see the results of treated and untreated surfaces. Thanks for coming back.
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Thanks for the reference! It's difficult to navigate various opinions and I'm just another opinion. Not only that, but I'm just some guy on the internet and not a published author :) I serviced watches for a long time without using Epilame but started using it after a training course. In that course I was taught to do it as I've been showing in my videos. After double checking the latest version of the BHI Practical Lubrication document, I do however see that they also say you should only dip the pallet stones into the Epilame, so I'll start doing that just to make sure I don't pass on any questionable practices. One thing I generally don't do however, which is also often recommended, is to epilame the cap stones. I don't see the point in doing that, as the properties of the oil should keep it from creeping anyway. So at the end of the day, I'm kind of a bit in the middle on whether epilame is worth it or not, tbh.

I like your dry sense of humour! I guess your game should be called Horrorogy, not Horology. You use Black Magic to fix main springs! I am suitably impressed. I'd be interested to know whether you did the whole service on principle, or whether, apart from the main spring barrel, the jewels and pinions did need the lubrication. Either way you do it so well. And frankly, you can have all the glitzy Rolexes I've seen - I would sell my Mother-in Law for this watch 🙂

Hello Max, thanks for watching! I'm actually shooting part in 4k but the slow mo is only 1080, so I render the whole video in 1080 to make it look coherent. Also, 4k isn't really worth it I think, given the size of the files and the not too different quality on most screens.

Love the tape trick to repair the main spring! I wonder if you just put tape around the watch, and let it set for a month or so, if it would fix the entire watch??

I have an OMEGA Dynamic Automatic I bought in 1990, when I looked into what it would cost to service it, it was the same cost as what it cost me in 1990, I love watches but wow.

Brilliant as ever, my question - some balance wheels have small screws around the perimeter. I have watched a number of watch repair channels and never had an explanation for the difference or seen an associated adjustment. Beautiful watch by the way.

Hello Keith, thanks for watching! I'm actually working on a video right now where I'll go through exactly those topics. It's an old pocket watch with a split rim and screws, so hopefully that video will answer some of your questions :)

I don't think I have seen any other watchmaker put grease on the escape wheel. It makes sense to me because of the friction inherent in a lever escapement, yet you the first on RU-vid I have seen. Is it recommended in most oil charts?
@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Hello Cory, thanks for your question! I don't put grease on the actual escape wheel but rather on the pallet stone and it then indeed rubs off onto the escape wheel. I think nowadays a lot of watchmakers use grease on all watches, but the recommendation is that you use oil (Moebius 941) on lower beat rate movements and grease (Moebius 9415) on high beat watches, 28800 and up. It's not really an issue if you use grease on lower beat movements either, the added drag is quite minimal.

That is indeed a beautiful watch and a fun and informative video, as always. I've had to buy an embarrassing number of clocksprings for this movement, however. I still cringe when I see one. Thanks for sharing.

@VintageWatchServices
@VintageWatchServices 2 года назад
Hello Chris, the clickspring for this one is indeed trickier than most. I was thinking about that when I did the service but am not sure if I actually mentioned it in the voice-over? I find that the easiest way to do it is to place the spring and the click and then put the crown wheel in place by first placing it so that the click nub fits between two teeth and then sliding the crown wheel into position while holding the click down. Not sure if that makes sense?
@bangy55
@bangy55 2 года назад
@@VintageWatchServices Thank you very much. When I graduate to placing the spring without adorning my hair or nearby curtains, I will definitely use your most welcome instructions to get me through the rest of the procedure. LMAO! I must have watched you do it 50 times on this video.
