This Tudor Oysterdate From the 1950's Is In ROUGH Shape!

Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time it's a watch bought in memory of a dearly lost dog named Rosy. This Tudor Prince Oysterdate 34 is in really bad shape, not running, with missing parts when it arrived, and Marshall is tasked with getting it running again and back in service!

I've been watching your videos for a year or so. Two days ago I found a really old pocketwatch, non runner but other than that it seemed pretty good. Today I disassembled it, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled it. I had some mishaps, sweaty moments and close calls. I also feel like I'm missing a literal ton of tools. But nevertheless, it's been ticking away for a couple of hours now, hopefully it'll keep going for a long while yet. Thank you for truly inspiring content!

What a lifesaver this video is, I took the plunge and have been restoring a non-running 7909 Tudor Oyster Perpetual as my first repair. Extremely smooth process and all she needed was a new balance setting. I did have to deal with Radium and have re-lumed it. Luckily, I am a chemist as my main profession and knew how to properly handle this. Sufffice to say I am addicted to my new hobby and have you to thank for it. Keep up the great work.

[@17473039]

Hi Marshall, I noticed that after the final installation of the balance bridge, after tightening you moved the watch and the bridge moved very slightly. May just be a tiny bit of flex as the bridge is canterlevered, but it may be that the bridge screw is slightly too long, which could partially explain how the pallet fork became bent. Edit: can also see the barrel bridge wobbling while running during installing in the case

[@fragge2926]

Well this is great. From someone who knows Marshall from his work with the MtG community, I bumped into this channel by accident a couple weeks ago and thought "Hey, this guy sounds exactly like Marshall from LR. And his name is Marshall. I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but the channel is awesome." I then noticed the playmat on the restoration table. Then I saw the news channel interview, and it was actually Marshall from LR. I've found a whole new admiration for your work, and now I can't stop watching your restoration videos and they've been great company for when I'm working late. Thanks for all you do, you've provided me with thousands of hours of entertainment with MtG content and now I've got hundreds more to go through on this channel.

[@J.DeLaPoer]

Just want to say these "big rose" Tudors with the roulette date wheels are my favorites. It's also worth noting these movements (Tudor Cal. 39X, actually made by Fleurier) are extremely rare & valuable vs the later ETAs... Especially this one: Most Tudors with 390 or 395's had the common copper finish; this type with the rhodium plating was only used in the Submariners and earliest 1st gen Prince-Dates like this. People will pay well over $2500 just for a complete rhodium finish 390/395 with no dial or case or anything in order to use the parts in their Tudor Sub... Nice to see a Cal. 39X without a worn rotor post/bearing and scrapes all over the caseback and movement too! I've owned and worked on several of these, and the rotor post/bearing is a massive weak point. Very common to see these with worn out floppy rotors, and since parts are very scarce and expensive for this caliber, anyone looking to buy one of these should keep an eye out for the telltale circular scrape marks of a bad rotor on the inner caseback. Of course even the badly worn rotors will still function in that they wind the watch, but they will produce an awful rattling noise and scuff everything up.

[@chexnfx7161]

Thanks for the insight. Spectacular piece. What would you say this piece he got going again is worth, $5000?

[@johncollier608]

Wow, Marshall, if that watch could talk, what tales would it have to tell? Great to see two people wanting to save it. Hopefully it will go on fo many more years now. Thanks for sharing. From UK.

Thanks for this I watched to learn how to do this on my dad's old Tudor oyster prince. What I have learned is that this is WAY above my pay scale! I am amazed! My dad bought his watch new and wore it for about 25years, and put it in a drawer after receiving a new watch from Esso. It's mine now and I now know I need to send it to someone else to service it and get it ticking again.

[@j.mccann2166]

Your off-handed comment saved my x-mas plans. I've been learning the hobby this last year and I purchased an old Seiko automatic for a friend's gift. I found that, while the watch worked fine as an auto, it wouldn't wind manually. I didn't want to give something that only 'sorta' worked, and was really bummed out. After confirming, I now know that I had a movement designed without manual wind and it was a great gift!

@tradde11 There's a DYI watch club where they will send you the tools, parts, and video links to build your own automatic. I'm very tempted to try that, but like you, I just wonder if my hands would be steady/calm enough. It's like Marshall is a microscopic surgeon!

Aww... that's a nice story. I had a cat named James Donald Kitty who was, for all intents and purposes, the coolest badass I had ever met in my life. He was with me in my late 20s and early 30s until a few years after my daughter was born. The day she came home, James Kitty assigned himself as my daughter's guardian angel. I have so many photos of him posting guard duty in her crib, or above her, while she was sleeping on the couch. He watched over her non-stop until his untimely death at only 11 or 12 years old (he was adopted, so we didn't know his exact age) from a horrendous aggressive lung cancer. The poor guy took his last breath on 7/14/16 when I couldn't stand to watch him decline and suffer anymore, but my daughter was only 4 when he left us. Sometimes I ask if she remembers him and she claims to, but it's hard to say, she was only four. But, long story short, I'm glad they met. I created a necklace with a small ornate vial which contains just a pinch of his fur. So I understand the sentimentality of a beloved pet and having some little memento to keep them with you even long after they have passed on. Very touching indeed. Great work and hoping Rosie is relaxing in a comfy place in the sunlight, somewhere in the hereafter. Perhaps she knows an orange badass cat named James?

This fascinates me because at 64 years old, and always wanting a Rolex and couldn't afford it, I just purchased a new Tudor which I had never heard of until doing some online research for a Rolex. New Rolex's are still way out of my price range so after looking at Tag's, Omega's, Longines, and others in that price point I discovered Tudor. What a really neat watch! I love the old school looks and features. Couldn't be happier with it! Interesting history behind Tudor and this venerable baby brother to the Rolex is growing in popularity!

You make me appreciate my watch more and I wish I still had all the watches I discarded through the years. I guess there is a place for digital but not on my wrist.
