I like it better when you talk about the watch and the dad jokes
Me too
Me as well.
Agreed!
Yes
Same here. Nothing more boring than watching without a soundtrack. Stian, I hope you take notice and revert to your excellent standard.
Great video as always, Stian. Hope your laryngitis, or whatever is stopping you providing your usual excellent commentary, gets better quickly.😄
Stian, this work is stunning. What you did to rehab a roughly used 80-year-old watch to showroom new, and got it to perfect timekeeping, is a masterclass. 🇳🇴
😊👍
It really warms my heart when something is given a second lease on life with soo much love and passion! Dankie en ta ta!
Thanks for the video, Stian. I'll add my vote to the contingent calling for a return to commentary, dad jokes and bad jokes. Your insight and warmth was one of the most valuable aspects of your videos.
Miss the commentary but it was still great to watch you bring back to life a nice looking vintage watch. Cheers
That dial!!!!! Wow, beautiful!
Like some other subscribers, I too enjoy the restoration of seemingly destroyed watches. Your skilful repairs are wonderful to see and the final result never disappoints. Look forward to hearing you again 😊
Unbelievable transformation, great skills and I enjoyed the repair work very much, missed your usual commentary and humour, but I never cease to be amazed at the skill required to work on these beautiful micro machines.
Thanks for another captivating video. I miss your banter.
for me the star of the show was seeing the dial come life, absolutely beautiful
Lovely to watch .... a favourite restoration ..
Very nice video.
Lovely interesting watch, super restoration.
Missed your dulcet tones with some of the history and background.
Still, the macho swinging of the powerful watchmaker's hammer in the action sequences was masterful.
Very nice watch Stian! Beautifully restored as usual.
I also prefer your insight full commentaries so I wish you a speedy recovery! 🤗
Hoping for a quick return to commentary. That is what makes the channel unique!
A truly astonishing restoration. The 'silent format' video with captions is an interesting break from the usual format, but I hope you do not make a habit of silent videos. I miss your knowledgeable, informative, and educational explanations of many of the more complex technical procedures that we non-watchmakers are not familiar with. Someday, perhaps, you could explain to us what "lift angle" is, what it means to a watchmaker, and how you determine what the lift angle is. Superb photography, as always.
I miss the running commentary. I always learn something.
Who ever told you to stop talking needs to go somewhere else! Your videos are some of the best on UA-cam and your knowledge as well as personality are a big part of that. Sharing your knowledge about watches with occasional humor is magic.
Sore throat issues, I'll upload the video will full commentary on Saturday :)
Beautiful watch! That dial is gorgeous.
Absolutely stunning dial and beautiful end result. 😍
IMHO the 3,6,9 and 3,6,9,12 dials are the ultimate watches and, yes, I am prepared to die on this hill ! 🧐
The timegrapher at 1:22 had a jazzy beat I could dance too (not a pretty sight I can tell you) 🕺
This watch looked so sad and neglected!
It ended Awesome!!
You truly love your work!!
Thank you very much!
Barry White is still on holiday but luckily Stain was back at the bench. Lovely restoration and no trouble in paradise. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿
While I too miss your comments during the work,I think your work speaks volumes by it's self. Pigs ear to a silk purse as they say. Wonderful work, Wonderful skill, Wonderful Watch!!
Thanks for what you do!!
Its fantastic talent of doing like this, as a watchmaker, with complete modern tools thanks.
Brilliant result from not-so-good beginnings...
What a lovely timepiece Stian, and a beautiful restoration. It was not lost on us, how manly one would have to be to wheeled that hammer using the staking set, nor how teeny weeny those balance cock jewel plate screws were. Also was very impressed by the nose hair trim (bar one). Disappointed at no dad joke. So here is an old one to keep you going. Pirate walks into a bar with a ships wheel down his trousers, when the barman asks “what’s that all about “ he replies “I don’t know, but it’s driving me nuts.
Hope you feel better soon Stian.
M
I think it's wield that hammer, old son. 😉
😂 A dad pirate joke for good measure!
Great vid. I work on them sometimes. These older watches of my parents age always reminds me of them.
Your work is undeniable but your commentary compliments your restorations wonderfully so I hope that makes a return. Great work as always.
Cheers!
Where's the talking? Your explanations and witty humor are the best part of the videos/this channel.
That is a great find, and what an excellent end result!
Respect. You really care about the work you do, it's wonderful to see such craftsmanship in this era of single use throwaway plastic
I really love that dial.
Another watch brand I did not know about. What a beauty she is. Masterfully restored. Thanks you for a very enjoying video.
Beautiful watch! Bravo!
As usual, another fantastic restoration but I really missed your commentary. Just not the same without it. Looking forward to another soon. Cheers!
Wow, glad you didn’t bore us with any history! Lol and nice, a $10 watch saved by years of experience and thousands of euros worth of tools. Love the diversity of your work and the challenges you accept.
No silence please, we love the commentary Stian 😀😀👍👍. Lovely work though.
Missed you talking about the watch and the corny jokes. 👍👍
Upload timed perfectly Stian, just poured a glass of red. Time to Sit back and enjoy!
Bravo! What a change. Nice work.
Thats surprisingly nice watch and it performs well too.
Many thanks for your kind and swift reply
Excellent work, Maestro!.
Nice renovation! We miss your commentary!
With or without commentary always a good exploration of the watchmaker's craft. Best wishes.
Incredible work as always, particularly the repair you made to the balance wheel. But I missed your great commentary, so I hope it returns to your next video!
Thanks for watching! Sore throat issues, I'll upload the video will full commentary on Saturday :)
Thank you for the video, and for restoring a beautiful old watch!
Beautiful watch, awesome repair
Awesome restoration, what a result!! Thank you for sharing! Talkies ar the best but silent ones can still be great, just look at that watch at the end, hat's off!
Beautiful job, I’d be proud to wear that
One of the better restos I have seen. Very beautiful! New subscriber!!!
Wow, thank you!
I like more with a voiceover ❤
I really enjoy your videos. You are both skilled and knowledgeable and have inspired me to get into watchmaking as a hobby. I really prefer the voice-over videos though. You're very entertaining, I always laugh while I learn.
Greetings! I also very much prefer your videos with narration. I find your comments on the watches you work on, and on the watch industry in general, to be amusing, informative, and insightful. You are an outstanding watch maker and I am definitely here for that, too, but I can go to a dozen other channels if I just want to see another keyless works disassembled. Your narration is an aspect of your videos that I very much look forward to--and the Dad jokes, too, of course.😉😆 Thanks, keep up the good work, and I hope you and yours have a wonderful 2023!
it's allways better with your comments....amazing job
so reaxing, sat watching with a coffee.
*C’est tre magnifique!* *_ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL JOB and WATCH._*
What a transformation…a joy to see.
Really fine job Stian on restoring that piece to near perfect.. Looks great.. Thanks for the tour...!!
That's one of the nicest looking watches I've ever seen. Outstanding job
Wonderful restoration! I'd love to own a watch you have restored like this.
Hi Stian,
Quiet is nice but to be honest I prefer your usual mix of brand history/dad jokes/useful technical information.
What a transformation! It's a beauty - I love the dial.
And +3s/0.1ms is not bad, considering you fixed this watch by hammering at it like a drunk blacksmith.
😂💪 Hammer like a drunk blacksmith, I'll ruthlessly steal that fabulous analogy!
@@VintageWatchServices as with all mechanical things - when in doubt, use brute force! ;-)
I just saw in other comments that you have a sore throat - hope you get well soon!
Wow, I think you must be my brother from another mother, I also like to say there's nothing a little brute force cannot solve 😂
And thanks, I'll be back soon 😎
Thanks Stian. Missed your voiceover. Why are different lubricants used for the crown wheel and the square part of the stem?
Sore throat issues, I'll upload the video will full commentary on Saturday :) There's more pressure between the sliding pinion and the winding pinion than there is on the stem, but you probably could use the same lubricant if you want to.
@@VintageWatchServices thanks! And take good care of that throat. We’re all looking forward to more dad jokes
I love the commentary as much as the video.
Beautiful outcome! That turned out wonderfully. Really brought out the beauty of that watch.
When I started watching the video I thought this one is from another YT-er. So strange was to watch just as ASMR. Get well soon Stian! From Ukraine with good wishes!
Thanks! A version with full commentary will be uploaded on Saturday :) Stay safe 💪
Good result, but better with words. Nice dial on this.
That's a handsome piece. Nice work
That's a lovely watch, Stian! I love watching you restoring the old clunkers into beautiful, elegant wrist watches again!
Beautiful watch
Outstanding!
Wonderful restoration ❣️
Excellent work.
This Tanis watch has lived a tough life. I love the dial. I was surprised to see so much pitting and possibly rust on the movement. This watch will give someone years of enjoyment. Great job.
Increíble, alucinante... Gran trabajo. Bellísimo reloj.
Beautiful dial on this one.
Beautiful job
Love watching a professional at work, but l also love your knowledge and (bad dad) jokes and your wit. Greetings from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺
Have a great new year!!
I would much rather have the commentary. It is a big part of the entertainment!
We want good old Stian's compelling narration and commentary back!
Anoter time peice lives to fight another day. I have to say, I much prefer your episodes with your commentary. It is just as entertaining (and informative) as the work. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year to, Stian.
So nice to see you giving this pretty vintage watch a new lease on life! Great result.
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous restoration Stian!! Lovely watch!!
What a beautiful dial & jeez the steadiness of your hands on the balance work is of surgical proportions & soooo many capped jewels but what amazing results ,very classy looking piece. i have missed the stories & the odd humour tbf but at least you're still showing us the skills .
Fabulas transformation. What a fabulous watch .. like new
Thank you so much 🤗
Hello Stian, nice watch came out and good to have you back! Health!
Stunning restoration, yet again! I'm amazed by the case - I thought it was very worn chrome plate. 😅
Miss your voice and Dad jokes brother. Get better soon.
Oh, what a dial on this Tanis
I really liked the polishing of the watch case (probably made of brass) on a steel (chrome)😮
That ole watch knew the game was up when the big hammer came out, love the video.
Always entertaining to watch a master at work. And what a dial-gorgeous!
To bring such a watch back to life and beauty, outsiding! I enjoyed your vedio, I honestly wasn't sure it could be restored, fine job.
This is a stunning turnaround, thank you for sharing!
Love the look of that dial
Truly a beautiful result. I started out with more of an interest in restoration than watches but this is a gem!
Though you know if you say "I make new ones" you have to show it, that's a rule from my mechanics! 😂
Beautiful and nicely plated!
What beauty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻… silence is golden, but no t forever please👍🏻🤔
I really miss the commentary and comedy, not to mention the history lessons 😢. Nice result Stian.
Very cool, well done.
Simple movement, difficult repair. Nice to see how you are calm and confident during working on balance wheel - well done.
Hope, you will recover soon - voice videos are better :)
Thanks! 👍
