The most therapeutic channel on YT. Lovely guy. Takes soooo much patience to do something like that. Love it. I used to be a collector, but I liquidated my collection to venture into real estate. In January, I acquired homes in Malibu for $34 million, and the returns on investment far exceed what I earned as a collector.

The epitome of someone driven by an intrinsic desire for quality in everything.

great wake up w my coffee thank you... A+ in craftsmanship, use of tools, knowledge!😂👍🏻

Hello, Mr. Nekkid Watchmaker! So good to see you again on youtube. Greetings to your family and the comment-community here! May the force be with you!

Happy days Joe, big love bud

The patience, the craftsmanship and the humour. It's all so natural to look at. But here lies the basis of a long learning curve and many setbacks. I can only watch in amazement. Thank you sir!

Hi Nekkid I can not stop watching your videos since i purchased my very first Rolex a little bit rough a round the edges but I love it , Couldn’t afford a brand new one, Keep the videos coming brilliant ❤

The Accountant will be proud of the way you cleaned the lapping machine that she purchased for your enjoyment. ;)

Wow. Just Wow. What great skill. Excellent job Sir.

Trust us when we say we forgive you sir

Merry Christmas to the whole Nekkid Watchmaker family from Virginia, USA

Whenever the world seems to be spinning out of control, I come back to this channel to seek some refuge

How I wish I were the owner of this watch and receive it looking as new, box and everything! An awesome job, as usual . Thank you for your this channel!

I'd rather see more frequent 'rough' videos than wait a month for a masterpiece. Just my two bob's worth.

these videos are so therapeutic 😴

The most therapeutic channel on YT. Lovely guy. Takes soooo much patience to do something like that. Love it.

Peace, Love and Merry Biscuits 🎉❤ 🙏

Welcome back Joe. Great watch, thanks for a holiday teaser. I pray your eyes stay clear and your hands stay steady. What you do is pure art. Best wishes for 2023 to you and your family!

Thank you for the video dear Sir. I love them. I really need to get my hands on a lapping machine. I feel inspired after watching, but also left with a million questions. I guess the only way is to keep playing around and watch some more YT. Thanks again🙏😘

You are loved and appreciated Joe. 😊

I like this guy better than the other watch man on youtube

I can't wait to see the full video. Trouble has baby arms. Priceless😀

I envy your skills. The whole time I watched I kept thinking about how badly I would mangle that case. I also envy your awesome collection of tools and gadgets. Something for every purpose. Can't wait for part 2.

Thank you for a little bit of watch care. Its a boxing day bonus. Hope you and your family have a happy and prosperous New Year. Roll on 2023 when I was born I thought by 2000 we would all be driving flying cars and have robots to everything while we sat around getting fat. The only thing that's come of this dream is I sat around and got fat. 👌🤣 looking forward to the full video 2x👍

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Nekkid family!!! Nice to have you back Joe. ❤️ Joe, I can’t speak for the others, but I would love anything you want to post regarding any watches you restore. It’s nice having you back and come on Customs get Joe what he needs.

You are very welcome back. As the old saying goes "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" 💓

watching you fix the bevelling on the outer case is so interesting

It's as if you stripped down a Ferrari down to the very last bolt and did everything you could to make it better. Your attention to detail is like watching Bobby Fischer play Chess. Thank you

Despite your own criticisms of this, I found it thoroughly entertaining. Thanks for the post and keeping us to date!

You Sir are simply magnificent 👌🏼🙏🏼👌🏼

I learnt from this channel to respect and take care of my time pieces.

I make my living restoring and plating jewelry in general. It is nice to see someone doing it so nicely, congratulations! If I may give you and tip... When plating, you can get a more consistent and well distributed deposition if you submerge completely the piece instead of keeping it right on the surface line. And shake a little bit more, the less bubbles, more the shinnyness. Use a thin copper wire to hold the piece. Sorry if I'm saying everything you already know but I like to share my humble knowledge with people that do what I do and, more importantly, people who like doing it :)

Golden Hands. Thank you for that!

Your brain your swift hands & your heart makes a worn out watch like an elegant one. Can’t wait to watch the whole restoration. Seasons greetings to you.

Love this! Thank you! X

missed your dulcet voice and gentle touch. So glad to see this!

Great video to unwind to. I am done for the day and am drinking a beer and eating some popcorn. So enjoyable. I tinker with watches but fix cars since 1992 so I’m taking advantage of nothing to do until about noon tomorrow!

I love your work. Have a good time and all the best for 2023.

Nice camera focus.. very sharp. The magnifying by KZfaq is nice, but the cameras really decide the shooting quality. Top notch

Joe, you're back! People were starting to worry about you. Thank you for the holiday gift. Best wishes to you and the Nekkid family for the new year. Btw, this piece reminds me of the old adage that if you have a hammer everything is a nail, and if you have a lapping machine every watchcase needs a sharp edge. Can't wait to see the full rebuild. 😊

This actually got me excited. I hope I find someone who is as good as you for my grandfathers watch. It has a huge sentimental value for me. More than any other more expensive watches I own. The places I service my watches are ok, I just don't trust them enough for that specific watch.

Looking forward to the next episode. These "insane" resto are my favorite. Great job, Sir!

I know I’ll never be able to afford an Omega so it’s really cool to see them restored and see them up close. Thanks for the great content!

Genius! Pleasure to “watch” you work.

Fabulous craftmanship to see performed on a thing of beauty that deserves a new life peace and love to all in this world

I enjoyed watching you work. I've been collecting watches for 55 plus years. I have hundreds. I started with my first grandfathers pocket watch and collected from there. You have a beautiful start on it. I had questions about some of your efforts and methods. But I'll wait til I see the completed work. I think if you want to have a shorter episode, that's okay. But as you can tell from my message, I like see more rather then less. Good luck to you my friend. Be safe

Looking forward to the Jedi return

Really looking forward to the restoration!

I don’t think I’m the only one who is looking forward to seeing the rest of the video

You think of everything! It looks brand new!

Lovely case restoration, such attention to detail. Glad you’re back doing your stuff 🎄

Just pure Alchemy Joe. You sir, are a Master of your Craft. Thank you.

I have been having severe withdrawal symptoms while awaiting you long overdue project, today I am a happy subscriber. Great to see you back👍

For his Patreon patrons, Joe uploaded another extended raw video segment, where he disassembles the movement. It is a very complicated movement. Looking forward to the finished video.

I always enjoy the guest appearance.

Brilliant close up photography on top of your other Brilliant stuff and things

Your videos are inspiring. Last December I bought my first house and finally moved out of my mothers. (I''m 34) I'm in the process of setting up my first watch repair hobby area now. I finally got my chinese cleaning machine in the mail just a few other odds and ends I need to get. I wanna say I can't wait to start doing this.

Best thing to watch eating Christmas leftovers

Amazing craftsmanship!

Brilliant. Love yer work. "Hippocamp" hippocampus is part of the brain.

Step by step an artist presents his work to us. Thank you.

Glad to see another great restoration vid. I look forward to the next installment 👌👌👍

Ahhhhhh….ahhhhhh.🙏🏻 Just the best kind of therapy after Christmas Joe. Like all of your subscribers, I just zone into the complexities, skill & intricacies of your watch restorations.😵‍💫 Bring on 2023 mate!💪🏼👏🏼👍🏼🍻🇦🇺

What you are able to do to restore cases is so impressive. I understand that the mechanical innards is the part that watchmakers and orologists is famous for doing, but the parts that the rest of us can see on the outside???Wow wow WOW!!! You always amaze me on those parts. Fantastic!!

Okay, I am going to do my chores, then sit down to see this. Thank you, Im sure I love it.

This watch can only get better. We forgive you any alterations. 😊😊😊😊

I think that this is my favourite so far. Nice work.

That was a good teaser, Joe. And what a great community you have here. Merry Christmas to you et al. Your resto work is first class - something that is a must for valuable watches in my opinion. Looking forward to the final video.

Relieved to see you again and thrilled waiting for the whole video. Today is December 26 of 2022 so Happy Holidays for the Nekkid Family and my Fellow Forumites.

You are my premier watchman. Your short video release of that horrid watch was a pleasure to watch despite your subdued energy. Heres to better days!

Very nice. Looking forward to the rest.

Yayyy!. Nekkid is back!. Please, don't whittle down the video. I like to see the director's cut, esp. when you work on the movement. 😎😎😁😁

Your attention to detail is just beyond remarkable!!! Can’t wait for the full video.

Nekkid...you never cease to amaze me? Good show!

Merry Christmas and thank you for the gift of this beginning of the restoration!

This profession and gunsmithing/machining so much a like - sometimes when things are worn and our proper tools can’t remove them - executive decisions have to be made lol

Compulsive viewing, a master at work. Class!

Great to see your still thinking of us viewers through all the postal strikes and hold ups looking forward to the next bit happy new year

Wow that case cleaned up nicely.

I have taken in this week a trinity of broken winged watches, a brand new La Banus quite exotic chrono where the canteen crown is loose and had snapped the stem as it was flopping about like a good 'un, a beautiful pristine Soviet Sekonda on its original but broken expanding bracelet and learned a new skill in fixing expanders tonite and the final was a Slava tank quartz which I paid to be serviced and turned up missing its battery clamp screw and cannot find the screw anywhere inside the movement so scratching my head on that one but I got plenty spares and a simple fix.

Once again Joe you have outdone yourself! Beautifully restored Jedi!! Always nice seeing Trouble helping out the Jedi Master of Watches.

Thanks for making the effort to share some time with us all. Here's to a kinder 2023 and hopes that those struggling to just through each day are shown the compassion that great societies are defined by. Be well kind man ✌️

Looking forward to the rest of the restoration.

Nothing short of pure wizardry.

to remove the worn pushertubes you maybe can make your own tool, ( mini vise ) piece of tube.. make a slit in the tube and a thread outside.. with a screw outside you can adjust the Ø of the tube by turning up the pressure.. same principle in used in a drawing-compass to hold the needle & pencil.

Always impressive to watch you work ! Thank you for sharing what you do with us 👏🍻

Can’t wait to see the rest

We want more… we want more… we want more!!! Can’t wait. Great to hear those soothing tones again. Peace to you and your family!

The Force is strong with you I see.

Joe, we honestly do not care too much what you upload, everything is welcome, as long as you share a few of your words and some of your kind and generous personality. And a comment or two for Trouble and the Accountant. Don't feel pressure, just upload and enjoy the break.

love how take-away cartons are used in the plating process. They are very versatile for all sorts of hobby projects

The compliments of the season to you, the accountant, Trouble, and the rest of the Nekkid family! Have a good year.

You are the Jedi of watch repair really love your contacts. It’s so satisfying merry Christmas to you and your family.

At the risk of being labeled a fawn, I love your channel! A mechanic is a mechanic and I have been one all my life. Albeit for the machines I worked on a 2 kg hammer was considered a carpet tack hammer. I recognize all the tools and as said before I am in awe of your using tools on objects that are only a few mm wide. Amazing patience, ethic and family values paired with an absolute vault full of knowledge and skills. I would truly like to meet you one day sir! Good luck in the new year and may all your dreams meet fruition!

That case is a beauty! Great work!!

Hello my Brummie neighbour. Brilliant to see you again.

Coming along nicely. Love seeing worn cases brought back to their former glory. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see the finished result.

Hope you had a very merry Christmas and the best in the new year to come!.

You have the Midas touch. Here's to a good new year. I'll stay in touch. Thank you.

Fab ! Cannot wait for next episode .
