    What a coincidence Marshall. I have the exact same watch left to me by my late father which he hardly wore, so is in absolute mint condition. It runs really well but have no idea when it was last serviced if at all. I was a small boy when he bought it ( I am 71 now) and remember going into a jewellers on the island of Jersey off the coast of France. He smuggled it back to the UK sewn into his underpants so he didn't have to pay the then import tax.
    I can't really remember what he paid for it at the time but I am sure it was less then fifty pounds.
    I hardly ever wear the watch now which is a shame I suppose.
    Really, really fascinating to see how it all bolts together though. Thank you very much.
    Mine still has the original 'pip' by the way which you mentioned in your video. He also left me an Omega Seamaster 300 'big triangle' model which is in the same mint condition which he bought in a similar way.

      As well as both being of sentimental value for you, they’re not only historically important watches but they’re very collectible and would be worth a significant amount of money. Especially if they are in as good a condition as you mentioned. I’m sure you know all this given your reference to the big triangle variant. I hope you have someone significant in your life to pass them on to.
      It would definitely be worth getting them both serviced by a well regarded, independent watchmaker.

    Tudor/Rolex should be ashamed for rejecting the restoration of this watch. You, however, did a great job and a great service to the owner. By the way, I too went to Vietnam for a tour and an extension (USMC.) Before leaving the country, I went to the PX to buy a watch that would be durable and waterproof. I was 20 years old and did not know crap about watches. I did see the Rolex's, but they were expensive, but not in hindsight. Instead, I bought a Zodiac Sea Wolf ($45 +/-) which I wore for at least 15 years before I threw it in a drawer. I had it serviced quite a while back and still wore it once in a while, but have since given it to my nephew who will make it part of a small collection that he has. I know he will care for it. Meanwhile, I'm now wearing a Rolex GMT Master II (16713) which likely cost 50 times what I could have bought it for in the late '60's I figured I deserved it.

      @loveobd628 Місяць тому +8

      I can't really imagine that this always happens, especially if it is to be sent to Biel or Le Locle in Switzerland. The only thing that can be is that it might be really difficult with original parts. Rolex guarantees every buyer that spare parts will be available for their model until at least 35 years after(!) the model is no longer sold. Sure, the watch here is older, but I don't know anything like that here in Germany. Rolex and Tudor really do a good job at restoration and are always interested in stories. I was already surprised at the Rolex Explorer, which was flooded with seawater here on the channel some time ago.
      The thing is, a original restoration at Rolex or Tudor is expensive. I mean really expensive on a watch like this here for example. Maybe that is the Problem.

      Rolex doesn't stock parts for models much older than 20 years, and if there is a certain percentage of non OEM parts they won't service the watch. The bracelet and bezel might be enough for a service refusal. Not disagreeing with anyone just stating some of the facts.

      @@Notfiveo0 Not true. It's always been the same dynamic. It was just Tudor used to use Rolex parts back in the day, but they manufacture their own movements or use Swiss branded movements now. My Tudor has to go to the Rolex AD for service. They are still part of the same group, just separate companies like Lexus/Toyota. So they still are connected.

    I love these videos. Watching a watch being repaired and restored and the skill it takes to repair it is an awesome thing to see.

    Just incredible Marshall, you're a true magician! I have a circa 1949 IWC left to me from my father (from his father) that he wore every day for decades. It seems to be in great condition so he must have had it serviced. I get it into the rotation every so often when I'm feeling nostalgic.

    It’s kind of disappointing hearing how often Rolex denies servicing one of their vintage pieces. Why would we pay the exorbitant price for one and when a relative inherits it, it’s almost impossible to have it restored…if not for fine people like you! We purchase them for their longevity and timekeeping accuracy. Stand by your product no matter how old.

    $124,- in 1964 is $1,231,- today. Given the prices of Tudors now, this was not a bad deal.

    Marshall, I’ve been binge watching all of your videos for at least a week now. Love all the content, I’ve started to name the parts myself. Now looking forward to stepping into this hobby. Thank you for the great content!

    Ok. Have to admit I am a bit shocked that Marsall didn't remove the insert and placed it in the heated ultrasonic as one piece. There goes the original tritium in the pip.

    • @hannesoehman
      @hannesoehman Місяць тому

      Tritium has a half-life of 12 years so there won't be too much left anyways.

    • @24hourgmtchannel64

      @hannesoehman yes I agree its dead but with vintage its all about originality.

    Beautiful Marshall, wonderful to go on this journey with you and see it brought back to life for many more years of enjoyment; I'm new to the Tudor brand so was initially disappointed they weren't willing to assist, though you did reference why so does make sense and meant we all enjoyed the 'restoration' with you!

    I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.

    • @TengkuTony

      The key to financial stability is having the right investment suggestions for a diverse portfolio. Many investment failures and losses happen when you invest without proper guidance.

    What a coincidence, as I'm wearing my Tudor Sub as I watch this. The reason I picked it was due to your own 5513 restoration (kicking myself as I sold mine 🙄). Wish I could trust someone to service my Tudor Sub in the UK, with the love and attention to detail in your excellent videos...🫡

    Awesome restoration of a watch that's been through so much. Undersea demolition, Navy Seals, a career of policing the streets.Then lost and recovered! Tudor/Rolex rejecting to restore it!
    You are the watch whispering! What a great watch!

    I've been a tinkerer my whole life, I'm currently refining precious metals and have looked at the inside of a lot of Bolivia watches and thought to myself (the tinkerer I am) that would be fun to learn! I enjoyed your show and excellent all the way around from the videography work to your voice-over explanations of different mechanical platforms in the assembly/sub-assemblys.
    Super 😎! ❤ it! Thanks you.

    The 7928 is possibly my favourite dive watch ever, precisely because of the UDT/SEAL history. I'm so glad you were able to do the work necessary to ensure the family can continue to enjoy the watch as piece of their history with enormous sentimental value. Great work!
