The eta movements were, and are real workhorses. Nice old watch and it should keep running for a long time because of your work.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes they are great calibers

[@alanmckinnon6791]

Reaaly nice job, and great catch on that gasket inside the crown. I would not have caught that, I sytill don't have the muscle memory to look inside crowns :-)

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

It is important to change all thé gaskets especially on a diver watch

[@moboei]

Great video of such a beautiful watch. But your final shot showed the crown not screwed down. Aghhhh my ocd went crazy 😂

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I saw it as well but it was too late. The watch was gone

[@SkyBlue-le7cd]

Many thanks for your video. Really love Tudors. Gorgeous watch.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

They are great watches

[@jatco84]

The the Tudor subs.. Have a newer one, one of the last, a 79190 and I love it. Great job on this restoration as usual and it will last forever. Tres bien...

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thank you

[@PowerChucker]

Awesome video, thank you!

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

👍

[@fredcrmr971]

Haha ! Quand tu parles des rubis à chaque fois j’ai une hallucination auditive qui donne «Jul’s » 😅

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

😂

[@brucebarlow6604]

Yes Perfect. Another great service. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thanks Bruce

[@resjon7981]

Hope Tudor release these again but for now my P39 will suffice.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

@@resjon7981 they were so nice. I hope they will come back too

[@gordiefrench5342]

Wow what a stunning watch Beautiful

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

👍

[@stevemoreno6241]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thanks for watching

[@watchchat]

I have the blue Pelagos 42, I see some resemblances…I knew about the Tudor Submariners but I’ve only seen the black dial models 🙌🏼

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Love the pelagos. Great watch

[@andrewmurton8379]

Super video and what a nice watch, I think I prefer it to the Rolex though not at the price, nice ones like this one are indeed more expensive. Keep up the great work.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes it is very nice and rarer

[@daviddunand3334]

What is the die used to press down the retaining ring? Doesn’t look like one of the die supplied with the horotec press.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I have other ones

[@ricellisfrost620]

Congrats on 7K !!

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Merci

[@GentlemensWatchServices]

As ever, nice work. Apologies, I didn't catch the name of the lubricant you used on the reversing wheels, what was it?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

It is called lubeta

[@LaFritePerreGoat]

If I remember properly, submariner went from 200m to 300m when they added a sapphire crystal with 5digits. So the tudor are closer to a 4 digit sub.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes the submariner as a gasket around the crystal. This Tudor has nothing

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

That's correct I remember back in 1982 buying one of the first 300m submariners. It was the first model to have a sapphire crystal however it still had a matte dial. I sold it a couple of years later and regretted it ever since.

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

The submariner from the same era as this Tudor (1680 or 5512) had the same case and depth rating.

[@maverick4177]

The reason the Tudor is only 200m is because that all the Marine Nationale required for their purposes, keeps the watch thinner and lighter weight as well

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes that is a good point

[@fjones1914]

Beautiful watch.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Thank you. I love the Tudor sub too

[@evilbikerider]

the rust remover converts the rust into black ion oxide

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

👍

[@cashau2965]

...nice work...amities

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Merci

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I have a question: when Tudor used ETA movements, were they using base grade, elabore, or top grade? Or a combination of all three? Thx.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

They are standard ETA with some mods than ingraving for exemple

[@RabbitWatchShop]

@@FrenchWatchCollector thank you 🙏🏻

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

I love the snowflake design and I owned a couple of these. They're lovely watches but there's no comparison between one of these eta movements and a Rolex movement.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes the Rolex movement is above. After it is cheaper to service an ETA caliber

[@joshuareinoehl924]

Outstanding work on this beautiful Tudor 😍 👏 👌

[@johnmonachelli5256]

200m 300m whos counting wonderful restoration

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Somebody that does diving 😆. Thank you for the nice comment

[@slammermx]

Was that rust on the inner bezel?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

Yes a bit

[@darranridley]

As a Submariner should the bezel only move in one direction, not both?

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

You are right but I know that on some tudor for the marine nationale the bezel can move both directions

[@Lonnie91a]

Vintage Rolex bezels move in both directions. It was when they introduced the sapphire crystals that they went to a single direction with clicks.

[@BiffTannenBTTF]

Rolex submariner from the 70's was also 200m. Same case.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

👍

[@garyboyle695]

Nice video as always but i wish youtubers would stop calling them Rolex movements, they weren't, they were made by Aegler.

[@FrenchWatchCollector]

I think Aegler is the same as Rolex for a very long time already

[@Lonnie91a]

The Tudor sub has an ETA movement so nobody is calling it Rolex. Rolex bought a majority holding in Aegler like 100 years ago, and has been working with them since before that. So a Rolex movement is a Rolex movement because it’s made by a company that Rolex owns even though it wasn’t in the same factory.
