Hi Stian: Your restorations are amazing. I am 80 years old, but when I was younger, I worked on clocks, but was too afraid to tackle watches because of their size. At my age I have a little shake in my hand, so I can at least take pleasure in your craftsmanship in restoring and saving these beautiful timepieces for another generation.
You and Nakkid watchmaker are the 2 best UA-cam videos for everything watches and it's informative and thoroughly absorbing. Well done. Keep up the great clips. Including the nose hairs and Nordic stories. Thanks
@@1959Berre I totally agree, Wrist Watch Revival is great to watch as well. I love the fact that Theon , Marshall, and Joe have their own way of doing things, and yet the end results are always the same. Great work Wrist Watch Revival, Vintage Watch Services, and Nekkid Watchmaker keep the videos coming!
I love that after so much time being under technical restrictions, Oris looked at the world and decided that quartz wasn't for them, and it was everybody else that was wrong 🤣
As i work with my head and tbh am am not quite capable of such level of craftsmanship i always find such restorations to be amazing relaxation. The Oris in the video sure was gem hidden under layer of dust. well done! Thanks
Nice to see a pin pallet movement for a change and the history lesson on the associated Swiss laws is fascinating. I wonder what will happen about the right to repair movement versus the swatch reluctance to provide spare parts? Maybe that'll be a future history lesson
All of your watch restorations videos are like plenary lectures, showing us not only the craftsmanship and techniques, but also giving us the historical frame and useful comments born out of experience. Many thanks!
At some point I am going to have enough courage to take apart my old Hamilton Mil-W-46374B Military issue and give it a good clean. Probably about 100 more of your videos should do it!
I've never really been that interested in wristwatches but since I found your channel I've become fascinated with the mechanics and ingenuity of it all! Thanks for the upload! 🙂
I really enjoy when you put the case in ultrasonic cleaner with the volume up! Interesting video as always, I’m contemplating starting the hobby of watch repair and your channel is always informative and fun. Your voice and delivery remind me of my father-in-law. A fine man who taught me much about life. Thanks so much!
I found one of you videos quite awhile ago by luck and decided to watch it. And here I am now, MUCH more educated about watches and love to see how each video shows a watch that is somehow different. Your narration during the rebuild process is what makes these videos so entertaining. You do a great job on the video process also. People don't realize how hard it is to make them look as good as yours do. Lighting the watches is a nightmare!!! Thanks for sharing them with us Theo!!!
Thanks so much Dave, that's really nice to hear :) It's difficult indeed and I am still far from happy with the top down lighting, but I'll try a few things to improve on it. Stian 😉
I always thought the high view some entry-mid watch collectors have of Oris watches odd, as this is the kind of stuff I remember them making- the better end of pin-pallets, but still pin pallets. Most of the more modern stuff until very recently has been me-too ETA-derived stuff. My interest in watches is as mechanical art, and I don’t see oris this way; for the money I can get much nicer vintage stuff. I mean to each their own, of course. PS if I win the contest, please run the randomized again. If I win it it’s going to be tossed in a drawer and never worn, I’m sure someone else would be happier to have it.
Much more to a watch than the movement and nothing wrong with an ETA movement. This whole in house movement rubbish is relatively new and to be honest not a particularly good one. Expensive to service and durability etc has still to be proven.
@@garyboyle695 I am a vintage watch collector. To me what’s wrong with ETA movements is I own several examples of practically every family. Owning more of them is disinteresting. My collection is about a collection of unique mechanisms. I care about nothing else, really. From a functional timekeeping perspective there is nothing wrong with them. We all collect watches for our own reasons, all legitimate. The outside of the watch to me is practically irrelevant. As is, to some extent, the brand name- unless the mechanism is evidence of the manufacturer, like vintage Longines calibers, for instance. I love Stians videos. However this is partially because I am also a watchmaker. He is very good at his trade.
these watch restorations are so interesting to watch, i don't know what it is. maybe it's the deconstruction of a complex thing, it feels simple in the end or the way they just come back to life with a little care.. probably just the regular "modern man" problem where we just wish we would do something with our hands.. i appreciate the skill and patience. i for one don't have the dexterity, nor the eyesight for it..
I agree, there is a real satisfy quality to be had watching a deconstruct and reconstruct of a complex mechanism in about 30 minutes, and poof it’s just had a makeover. It’s better than watching Dr Pimple Popper.
Never get tired watching your videos. Your one of those people why I get very interested of watch repairing. More vidoes please. And the seagull is a killer!!! Wow!
Hi Stian, this ‘50’s Oris is a great example of a classic time capsule, and the dial is simply gorgeous. Interesting history about the Swiss 1934 law, how Oris got caught up in it, how they delt with it. I also learned about pin pallet design, which I never heard of before. I like that you clean up a vintage timepiece with a level of minimalism, less being more, like when oiling. Thanks for another great educational video, and enjoy your ice cream.
I’m a retired printing machine operator and maintenance guy. After retiring I took up watch making, the gears were easier to lift in my advanced age. Love watching your videos, keep them coming. And hopefully I’ll enjoy that Seagull watch. Cheers
I’m not a watchmaker but I always enjoy the way you restore the watches, I don’t watch movies but I do enjoy your efforts. Keep on posting new videos to sooth our eyes with your perfection.
The combination of a restoration and a bit of the brand history are truly a winning combination in my book, so glad you have so many videos in your backlog
Still fascinated by watching these videos, whether it's simple servicing or full restoration of the watches. And I love how you explain it all as you go along!
It's great to see how different watchmakers interpret their ideas of how accurately their watches should be better than the next. So many different parts that resemble nothing on other watches, yet they run just as accurately! Keep up the great work.
It never ceases to amaze me how you go from a beaten up disaster to something that looks like it just got delivered in a very fancy wooden box. When i do that it looks like a very slightly less beaten up disaster that hasn't seen a wooden box in a very long time!
I will tell you how instructive and engaging I found this example of your work: I ordered an Oris watch and I am eating chocolate ice cream right now. Thanks.
I find it is always satisfying to see the watches being disassembled, cleaned and reassembled. I wonder how well I'd do working with all those small parts, but I've too many hobbies right now as it is, so I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with watching videos for now.
The watches are beautiful, especially on the inside. Love watching your videos. You do make it a treat to watch, enjoy the commentary, and stories. Also enjoy your accent, I'm from the US. Please don't change your ways.
I've learned so much from this channel. I'm just a hobbyist servicing watches for for my own collection and you and others have helped massively. Keep up the magic.
What a beautiful dial. I learned a lot about Oris from your video, and it makes me appreciate them even more. An independent brand making beautiful, high quality watches for reasonable prices. This service came out beautiful, lovely work! Thanks for your videos, I love to watch from all the way down under in Australia
What a magnificent Oris watch. I always known Oris watches to be the quiet underdog of the watch world. I always enjoy your watch restorations. Thanks for sharing them with us all.
I have enjoyed every video restoration from the day I discovered your channel until now ! I'm always looking for the odd missed episode ! Some advice ? Knit your nose hairs with the hairsprings you have collected , both old and new , and you would have a handsome vest or pullover . Saves that trimming hassle , and maybe it's an activity you and the wife could enjoy during your "down" time between oilings !! I kid , I'm a kidder !! Thank you for guiding me into a new , enjoyable fascinating historical hobby ! I have spent this last summer actually finding mechanical wristwatches at auctions , estate sales and garage sales , too ! Thank you !
I've always been curious about Oris watches. It seems like a brand that has been counterfeited a lot. This one has a spectacular dial. Just lovely. Thanks for yet another entertaining and informative video, Stian.
Another fine watch serviced. And I find this so motivating, I have disassembled my first pocket watch. Now I must go back to all your previous videos to see how to get it to work again 😅
Love your channel and watches of all kind you work. Please don’t stop making this pieces comes alive every time you work on. Hope you the best for you and family!
Really enjoy your videos. I may be getting too old to take up an new hobby but your videos are tempting me. Restoring these older watches remind of the good times when things were much different than the world we are in now. Thank you for doing these.
I’m not a watch wearer, but I’m always amazed at how beautiful they can be. I really enjoy watching you work on them. I was eating my ice cream while watching this. Lol
The history you tell about the watches as your work is what I look forward to. It is to me, very relaxing to view your watch work. Blessings to you for sharing your talent with us.
Love the Oris, it is one of my favourite brands. I always wondered why they used the pin movements in the older watches. Thank you for your amazing knowledge and humorous comments during the video!
Another lesser known watch company with lots of history that deserves consideration - thanks for the education Stian. I was impressed with their Carl Brashear Limited Edition dive watch, a great tribute to a remarkable man.
Thank you for your amazing videos Stian. After many years not wearing a watch due to work, I’m just getting back into it again. I’ve been binge watching your videos because they are so informative. Thanks again!
Thankyou once again Stian for the great work you do restoring these wonderful timepieces and the brilliant videos that you present to us so regularly. I love your dry humour.

Excellent video. Oris is an excellent example of how to succed and survive against enormous resistance. They are a great brand. Thanks for your instuctional videos.
The practicality and function of a wristwatch is to be appreciated nowadays.. there are so many other ways to find time... but you cannot beat a nice looking wristwatch--- I like your videos and the cool commentary!!
Thanks for making these videos.I’ve learned an incredible amount about watches,not that I’ll probably ever take one completely apart,but you do make it look like it is possible to do,so long as you record and take your time.
Really interesting about the pin pallet movement, and how Oris had to work with it so long. What a strange quirk of unintended consequences. Beautiful work as always!
What a beautiful dial, some watches deserve love and care to keep them going, this one really deserves the service you gave it. And what an inspired choice of strap colour!
Truly a beatiful watch! And to see how you go about restoring it is absolutely recreational - soothing, insightful and quite entertaining 😊 Kudos from Norway.
Whenever kids interrupt a video, it’s always fun! I think of the Nekkid Watchmaker’s son “Trouble” coming in to “””help”””” with the watch repair. He did make some great custom dials for his father! Thanks for all your hard work on the channel - you deserve a whole ice cream! (Sea-gull watch contest entry)
And Oris keeps that aesthetic in most recent models, that fine 50’s small dress watch looks. Beautiful job.It rose to its original dignified state. Blessings.
Stian, another wonderful video. You inspired me after you worked on my Stowa last year, to take up watchmaking myself. I have been working on 12s Waltham model 1894 watches, obviously vintage 1894 - late 1920s. Many of my tools (K&D staking set, L&R MasterMatic cleaning system, and quite a few specialty tools (pivot jewel gauges, watch micrometer, etc.) are nearly as old, but work beautifully made. Thank you for the motivation and fine work that we all enjoy.
Hi Stian. Been watching your videos for some time. I love them and your Norwegian english accent is fun for a norwegian to listen to. I live in northern Norway and due to lack of wagchmakers in my town I have started to work on watches myself. so your videos and history lessons about the movements and all are extremely valuable to me. I will have to send you a watch sometime to work on because to me that watch will instantly become a holy grail watch to me, as well as an object of history, as well as I will know it runs smoothly. haha! keep making the watches and never ever retire. med vennlig hilsen Ole.
I appreciate that you provide the history surrounding the different watches and watch manufacturers. From one tool junky to another thanks for the videos!
Love the old Oris and your service work on this one.. Interesting keyless works and nice clean, simple movement and parts. The rocker is pretty cool too. The adjustments you had to make on the balance always amazes me. So finite...and delicate...along with recentering the dial... !! Looks fabulous...and on that new strap. ..Love the commentary as you work through the process...Kudos to you and your skills.
Man, that's a really cool little watch 🤩 And I have to say that it always surprises me how easily the case backs unscrew on these older watches 🤔 Keep up the great work 👍
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Nice looking watch and when you polished the case it shows that watch repairers also need to be jewellers! Thank you for another great video.
Hi Stian, Your craftsmanship seems beyond bounds. Every time I see your work and listen to your commentary, it feels like listening to someone who is true artisan. At this point of time I'm co-lading various tools to eventually start restoring this old Swiss watch. I'm gaining more and more confidence by watching your videos. Ps. going by your accent you may be von der Schweiz, but do not live there, I guess. Best regards, Alexander
@@VintageWatchServices That's cools indeed, actually quite funny. In your commentary you mentioned the moose etc., that was so very funny.

It would be boring to keep permanently in mind that the watch on your wrist has a plastic crystal that needs care.
Yeah, this one looked like it's been dragged on concrete for a while... poor little watch.

Another great restoration, Stian. Like you I don't collect watches, I collect supplies and tools.
Right on!
Nice dial and nice service. Thanks for sharing, Stian.
Hi Stian. Been watching your videos for some time. I love them and your Norwegian english accent is fun for a norwegian to listen to. I live in northern Norway and due to lack of wagchmakers in my town I have started to work on watches myself. so your videos and history lessons about the movements and all are extremely valuable to me. I will have to send you a watch sometime to work on because to me that watch will instantly become a holy grail watch to me, as well as an object of history, as well as I will know it runs smoothly. haha! keep making the watches and never ever retire. med vennlig hilsen Ole.
Hei Ole, artig å høre at du har tatt opp urmaking! Lykke til med alt og jeg har ikke tenkt til å pensjonere meg med det første :)
@@VintageWatchServices Tusen takk for det! :D
I have always loved looking at these tiny cute watch parts. Maybe in my old age I will get myself a set of tools and I will also tinker with watches.
Thx for the explanation of why oris used the movements they did. I love the brand that explains why their vintage is less desirable.
It's interesting to see these different models, and the different approaches to movement design. A lot of cleverness in this one. Thanks for sharing!
All watches are complicated to me , but the history behind it all , fascinating ! Thank you !
I appreciate that you provide the history surrounding the different watches and watch manufacturers. From one tool junky to another thanks for the videos!
My pleasure!
I'm not a big vintage watch guy usually due to their small size but this is one I like. Thanks for another great video.
Love the old Oris and your service work on this one.. Interesting keyless works and nice clean, simple movement and parts. The rocker is pretty cool too. The adjustments you had to make on the balance always amazes me. So finite...and delicate...along with recentering the dial... !! Looks fabulous...and on that new strap. ..Love the commentary as you work through the process...Kudos to you and your skills.
Many thanks, Thomas!
Man, that's a really cool little watch 🤩 And I have to say that it always surprises me how easily the case backs unscrew on these older watches 🤔
Keep up the great work 👍
Love the Black and Gold color combination. Glad the dial was intact the way it was.
Seeing the watch brought back to life was much more satisfying than a typical watch review. Keep up the great work!
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Nice looking watch and when you polished the case it shows that watch repairers also need to be jewellers! Thank you for another great video.
As somebody just starting out in this hobby, it's fascinating to watch a piece like this be resurrected.
Thanks for the history of the Oris pin pallet, I learned a lot.
That was very interesting & the dial looks great! Nice pick on the strap too.
Hi Stian,
Your craftsmanship seems beyond bounds. Every time I see your work and listen to your commentary, it feels like listening to someone who is true artisan. At this point of time I'm co-lading various tools to eventually start restoring this old Swiss watch. I'm gaining more and more confidence by watching your videos.
Ps. going by your accent you may be von der Schweiz, but do not live there, I guess.
Best regards,
Alexander
Very cool to hear, Alexander :) It's actually the other way around; I live in Switzerland but am from Norway.
@@VintageWatchServices That's cools indeed, actually quite funny. In your commentary you mentioned the moose etc., that was so very funny. What confused me was when your kid was asking for ice cream and spoke English, not Schwietzerduetch. Ps. one of my sisters lives in Zuerich for over 40 years, I am originally from Koeln but live in Australia since 1981.
Cheers and best Regards, Alexander
The colour of the case is so warm and beautiful! Great work as always :)
I like it! It´s nice seeing a simpler movement than most others too, especially with the story behind of course. Good choise of strap I think.
I own an Oris Large Crown and your superb video has answered lots of questions for me. Thank you.
