Today we have a beautiful old triple calendar Orator on the bench. It seemed like a bit of a bargain when I bought it on eBay, but there might be something hiding under the surface here...

There will be the usual banter and tangents and we’ll get very acquainted with the two words uh and oh in that order! ******************************************************************************** Join this channel to get access to many more videos and perks: Or join my patreon page: ******************************************************************************** See our watches and read our blog at See our current selection at Chrono24: ******************************************************************************** Tools and resources for watchmaking as a hobby: Watchmaking books Watchmaker’s loupe Watchmaker tweezers Moebius lubricants Screwdrivers Case opener Rodico Polywatch Presto tools Bergeon tools Horotec tools Chinese made watchmaking tools Digital microscope Ultrasonic cleaner Ultrasonic cleaning solution Denture cleaning tablet Chinese “Horia style” jeweling tool Demagnetizer ******************************************************************************** Follow us on social media ******************************************************************************** #watchmaking #vintagewatches #watchrepair #watchrestoration
