Marshall restores a vintage Tudor Oyster Prince 34 watch from the 1950s! Tudor is a sub-brand of Rolex, and it often has similar quality for a cheaper price, but it's also been around for a long time and has quite a pedigree itself! This watch features an early automatic rotor winding system, and was listed as "ticking" on the eBay auction.

I hope you enjoy this one! These Tudors are really nice, especially for the money. They aren't quite on Rolex level (even for the time) but they are close. Full restorations like these are always the most challenging but also the most rewarding :) Also a reminder, I won't ask you for your watches, so if someone is reaching out to you here in the comments, via email, or on Instagram, it's likely a scammer.

@mjul7003 3 месяца назад

I love watching your videos before I go to sleep. Your voice is fantastic and it's soothing to watch the process happen & learn something along the way. Best wishes

What i am alwasy thinking is, when 600€ is a bargain for a watch like this, what would be the normal price or a bad deal. Just asking, i restored now a few watches om my own as a hobbyist(Certina, Junghans, Enicar... ) and would like to step the category a bit up 😅.

@Martin_Breu 3 месяца назад

@@jonor68 even al litte bit of magnetism near an unshielded movement can influence it or even magnetize it itself. So, better to not fiddle around with magnets near your hairspring 😌

@@jonor68 you can do it like he did, with a demagnetizer. They are fairly cheap to get, or build your own with an Raspberry Pi and and a coil.

@adamsmith6594 2 месяца назад

when I was a teenager I worked up stairs from a watch repairer. A lovely old man from Eastern Europe. I visited him one day to take a clients watch for repair and there were coins scattered on the floor. I stooped to pick them up for him and he excitedly stopped me and said they were for luck and to bring prosperity. It was a magical part of my life and my favourite job. I would sometimes watch him work while I waited and it was hard to see how the hell he knew where everything went in each watch. He will have passed away now but his memory lives on in others that he inspired and helped. As will yours many years from now people will be telling your story like showing me the initials of all who had worked on a particular watch scribed on the inside cover and the dates hidden away. Like a roofer I shared a week with would write his name and the date on one slate and hide it away for later discovery 😊 Thank you for sharing.

I love the way you manage to always state the explanations for the various steps in every video for those of us trying to learn this craft, but somehow manage to never be repetitive. It's almost as if you do commentary for a living or something...

He's an excellent narrator and story teller. You can find a lot of other watch making channels on RU-vid, but I've only seen maybe one other that comes close to being as interesting and well-narrated.

Hey Marshall, long time watcher first time commenter. I'm having a lot of fun dipping my toes into the hobby with the Watchmaking Starter Box and tinkering on the Seagull movement. Just wanting to pass along the idea of doing a video on doing a tear down of the Seagull movement from the kit using only the tools in the kit, doing an in-depth description of each part and what purpose it has within the movement, and including a link or qr code within that purchase as a follow along. I think it'd be a nice addition to a great kit.

@jamesmeader6539 3 месяца назад

Good suggestion, and just what I've been thinking about. If there was such a video for the practice movement, teardown, lubrication and re-assembly, I'd be much more likely to dive in.

@chanter48 3 месяца назад

I was going to comment with exactly this suggestion! It would be so helpful, and would definitely nudge me along to that Starter Box purchase...! 😉 As the proud new owner of a Breitling Avenger, I've become a little obsessed with the workings of mechanical movements, and I'm itching to delve into it! 🙏🏻

@Alan_Edwards 2 месяца назад

That is a good idea. A while back I had thought about giving it a try but decided not since I tend to go all out when I start a new hobby buying all the best equipment....which is fine if you stick with it. I have probably 20K worth of music making equipment that I do not really use much anymore, as just one example. So seeing what you can do with just the equipment in one of the kits, which are reasonably priced based on my own comparison searches, might help me and others from spending money needlessly before we know if it's something we plan to stick with. So yeah....I concur !!!

I’m 45 and I restore pre-war British cars for a living. The amount of technology in these cars is what fuels my passion to work on them. They are so much more involved than American made cars. Your channel peaks my interest. There is so much involved in being a watchmaker. I absolutely love it!

@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 2 месяца назад

What make and model cars do you restore?

@Tourist1967 2 месяца назад

That is probably why the UK no longer has a proper car industry. The Mini, for example was complicated and expensive to manufacture. It shouldn't have been.

Hey Marshall, we love your vids. I actually have my wife and son watching along with me now. I never would have guessed your videos would turn into our family viewing. Thank you!. After many vids my wife asked me how often you replace the chemicals in your cleaning machine? She thinks it looks dirty. I said it's simply the color of the chemicals themselves. Please mention that topic in future videos. Love your stuff. Hope you keep on ticking!!!

@Augnos 3 месяца назад

@brucematthews6417 3 месяца назад

Of all the watches I've seen you repair/restore this is the one that really is just perfect to my eyes. And yeah, I know that I feel like there is a delicate balance between "patina" and "putrid" but I agree with you on this one. The dial with the fresh new outers looks stunning. Hell, I'd wear it with a smile and I'm not really a wrist watch sort of person! And I totally agree with you on your message of "dive in, the water is fine". Too many folks are afraid to fail. But failure leads to learning. And few failures are total in any case. It just extends the "joy" of working on the repairs to get back to where one started. And those are lessons that are not soon forgotten.

Me and a friend of mine actually tried watchmaking, got 3 pocket watches for 30 bucks. We tore the non running Junghans apart with tools for glasses , replaced the hair spring with one from a no name watch because somebody broke the original one, cleaned everything with brakeclean and I got it back together thanks to the knowledge I gained through watching your videos . It actually ran, badly , but it ran! Got sold to a watchmaker apprentice who fixed it right... If I ever have the money and time to do this hobby right I will.

Hi Marshall, I am kinda new to watches and your channel (I started collecting in November 2023). I just wanted to say that I went through almost every video on your channel, and what an amazing journey that was! I am amazed with your skills and how you come up with so many different solutions for various problems you encounter. Also, the delivery in your videos is always spot on, it's such a pleasure to listen to your soothing and at the same time cheering voice (it helps me reduce anxiety that I accumulate after busy weekdays, haha). Love the editing and shooting work behind it - you manage to demonstrate such tiny pieces from very cool angles. I'm probably not the first and not the last to mention that, but I'm very glad that I came across your channel. Thank you for your amazing work.
