Awesome video, Greg! My sub still looking and running great since you serviced! Nice to know it doesn't have to be worth a half mil to be treated like it is!

Thanks! Good eye. I believe I wore a milsub, Rowing Blazers BB58 and BLNR in this one. I do love tudors. I have a BB54 as well. They are great!

Love your videos, and your focus on milsubs. My pet peeve is that few if any of the luxury manufacturers make similar watches these days, and none with sword hands. I’ve got a CWC with swords but would love a modern Rolex or Omega with swords. As an aside, was that a Black Bay 58 I saw on your wrist? If so, that’s quite a vote of confidence in the brand and in that model. I’ve got a BB 54 and love it. All the best!

Great work as usual! I am wondering about what products you use to match the lume color. Also would love to get one of those glass applicators for the lume.

703 is more water tight but obviously with a watch like that you need it to be 100% pure. I get it. I still have a 702 on my 5513. It will never see water anyway.
@ippazzi27 күн бұрын
703 has one additional gasket on the outside of the tube so there's a little more peace of mind but if the condition of both tubes and crowns is perfect they should functioning similarly in pressure testing. If one is more worn than the other different story.

What is the movement holder you are using? It looks like it will do multiple round movement sizes.
@TruePatina27 күн бұрын
Its CNC machined specifically for this calibre only. Unfortunately the person I sourced it from is no longer making them.

what are the problems with having a service crystal? Your TrueDome looks very nice, but why aren't factory parts considered preferable in this case? thanks beautiful end product on a special piece
@TruePatina28 күн бұрын
Good question! Misubs were fitted with a "superdome" crystal not the flatter service one. There is a big aesthetic difference between the two. Sourcing original superdomes is difficult, costly, and also (because the acrylic is so old at this point) more brittle. For an important and expensive watch such as this, if the owner wants to wear it, it's best to have the most confidence possible in the crystal. Check out TrueDome's crystal comparison test for more clarity on the subject (pun partially intended). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmXNkGmhZ7eLqas

Good job ! Thanks for sharing. What is the little "drill tool" called that you use to make the heavy spot on the balance wheel lighter ? Almost looks line an automatic oiler.

It is in fact a micro drill bit. zoomed in on the microscope it looks exactly like a regular metal bit

Back in my day the keeper style watch straps were something to do with RM SBS swimboards. The watch was fixed to a board along with a compass and the strap became more secure to the board with this feature?

Great stuff, just to clarify 2 points, when in the military, if we didn’t tuck the excess ‘inside’ as you correctly demonstrated, the drill instructor would tear you apart… clean and tidy it has to be! Also, the ‘understrapping’ by using a thinner strap in wider lugs is an historic feature, as the Royal Navy dive watches were all 20mm lugs, but the only width NATO was an 18mm.. real men still understrap 😉
