If sponsorship means more videos and/or better equipment for you, then go for it! Thank you for all you do.

You deserve the sponsorship, you are an amazing watchmaker and highly skilled. I am sure you will chose appropriate sponsors and again you deserve a little “extra cheese”!!

No brainer my friend, you and your family deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor! I would sit through a few advertisements if it meant helping a artist like you create.

I spent 25 years in the distribution of luxury watches, we had our own watchmakers, working on this level and far higher. I can say it s rare for most watchmakers to actually have the technical skill to manufacture broken parts well, some can, but do not want to , not confident enough, this guy is superb.

1. Would love to see a lathe restoration 2. Would definitely not mind any sponsor spots as long as that means we get to see more techniques and tools on the channel. 3. The question! What's the movement manufacturer (eta/segull/seiko etc) that you enjoy working on the most!

Yes to the lathe restoration, all of your restorations are meticulous and fascinating. Love when your kid(s) interrupt, you seem like a fine, patient father. I could (and do) watch you work for hours. Thanks for the fine videos.

I would imagine that you already have hundreds of replacement screws, but I loved watching you make new ones instead of you just taking the easy route. Your watch repair skills are beyond impressive. Bravo!!!! 👏👏👏

I welcome the sponsorship, if it means you share more videos with us, your time and effort are valuable to me.

"As bent as a politician..." - love it! A stunning job as always. Making those screws and studs was very impressive. If YOU are happy to be sponsored then go for it.

I don’t even know what say about this one my friend, you’re skills are beyond next level. I really thought you’d bitten off more than you could chew this time. Stunning result! In terms of sponsorship, you’ve got to provide for your family….go for it, who are we to say who watch your amazing content for free. 🙏👍

If you get offered sponsorship, jump on it. You deserve the money or product they’re offering you. You’re videos are so entertaining for us, its only right you get something in return. It’s only a minute in your videos, we can suck it up. 👍🏼

You definitely deserve to get sponsorship money as your videos are entertaining, educational and fun. You've got me interested in trying my hand at minor watch repairs and or cleaning and polishing!

If they offer something you would benefit from having, then I’d be happy to see you doing so. And, I always watch your videos from start to finish. What you do amazes and entertains me, and for that I’m grateful.

Now THAT!!! is a restoration. Love the whims, interruptions and bits of kookyness too. We all need more of that in our lives.

I watch this again with my wife. She hadn't seen it yet. We both think tge work you do is amazing. Thanks you creat and very chill space. 🙏💜🤝

your kids are lucky to have you, by just listening to you throughout the video all im thinking is what a wonderfull soul.....

"I'm old." "You're old?.. You still need a booster seat, what do you mean?.." Aside from the tears of laughter that invoked, the Father and son dynamic is just awesome.

Absolutely to the lathe restoration! I was a machinist, in what seems like another life it's been so long ago, so I always enjoy seeing older machines being brought back to a good life. That's part of why I enjoy watching you restore watches. The other part is that my grandfather was a watchmaker many moons ago and I used to watch him restore them as well!

You are a savior to all the watches. Your touch makes them RELIVE THE GLORY, once they had.

Probably my favourite watch restoration video ever. Such skill from a humble person and an absolutely beautiful result. Huge respect Joe.

yes to the lathe restoration. take the sponsorships especially if it enables you to improve the tools for your amazing restorations. I like when you involve your son it reminds me of my dad teaching me woodwork.

Absolutely to the lathe restoration and please accept sponsorships! You work very hard…. not only in your restorations, but also with your meticulously curated content. You deserve to be paid handsomely for your work. It’s a real inspiration to engineers like myself who find much of the contact on KZfaq overdone, exaggerated, or A practice in satire without any real meaning

This man is unbelievable. He could easily get some money or gifts from us. But he says give it to your local shop. What a goat you are sir! Bless you

Breath taking, a simply breath taking restoration, but you know what truly touched me was your comment about not wishing to accept gifts but for those well intentioned people to sell them and raise a little cash to support local food banks.

That was one of the most satisfying, detailed resto’s so far, superb in every detail, thank you for those moments, and as for sponsorship, that is the way to go, it’s the way of this modern world, fella, keep doing what you do , your skills are a joy to watch.

Who are these people that give you watches to repair in such a tragic condition? Another successful repair is fantastic.

It's a pleasure to watch a true tradesman at work, creating beauty from broken. Thanks from a viewer in South Africa.

I watch ALOT of restoration videos and you sir, are far and away the best at what you do. This watch turned out simply amazing. Cheers mate, excellent work.

Absolute genius and a genuinely decent human being.

It’s always lovely to see your craftsmanship and your interaction with your children 😊. Sponsorship is definitely a good idea as it can enable you to come across new “gadgets” so I’d say go for it! X

You are a master, and beyond. You never fail to amaze me in your craft, even after watching the same video over. Sponsorship is a must, you fairly deserve it. My comment might be 2 years late, as of this video. Its a pleasure and honor to be able to watch you work. BLESSINGS.

This restoration is amazing. If I hadn't just watched this, I would have said they were two different watches. I'd love to see a lather restoration as well and if you find some good sponsorships, go for it. No reason not to keep yourself from making a bit more cheese!

What an absolute joy to watch a true professional at work. The amount time and effort in production of these videos is not insignificant. Please take sponsorship but limit to one or two. I am to endure these for the quality and satisfaction one gets from watching. Why should you not benefit too… nothing in life is free. Also fully support helping people wherever and whenever… Thank you

I find it very fascinating to view you making screws and parts for this repair. My Grandfather was a jewelers toolmaker and watch repair person. I was also an Eyelet Toolmaker as was my Father and my Maternal Grandfather. I know now why I have very small Taps & Dies that I Inherited. Tiny Driilbits also.👍.

Amazing result. Going so far for every aspect of it, so much work and expertise for the screws alone. Love the humour. "Crooked as a politician" and casually showing the middle finger in the last part, when showing the watch on the wrist.

I'm amazed by the range of skills you use here. From heating hammering a pin into submission, resetting the stone and making tiny screws - all over and above the "normal" stuff. Amazing! Yes to a lathe restoration And yes to sponsorship...don't even think you need to do two videos at one for this!

For sponsors I think that as long as it’s something that you truly use and genuinely love I believe that you should do it. That’s a testament to the good work and HARD work you’ve done with your channel. I’m happy almost proud of being part a community that you’ve grown to this point were you can now have sponsors. Just make sure they don’t corner youself to one brand or don’t change your overall quality or values. And don’t forget about us little guys once you start walking around your town like a famous rock star.

Glad to see you working with your son! What a terrific gift to the future. There was a cartoon in the Saturday Evening Post showing a man taking with a neighbor over his fence. He was working with his children in his garden. The caption was “I could do it quicker by myself but I’m raising more than vegetables out here!”

Lathe restoration would be incredibly informative and interesting.

Yes...yes to the lathe resto!!!! Love to see a nice little lathe get fixed!!! Most are gigantic industrial lathes

You are a true artist and I love the seemingly unlimited number of instruments you use in your trade. I am a dentist and we also love lots and lots of instruments.

Precision watch maker tools coffee preparation very appreciative. Hand making screws and tubes amazing. Sponsorship means you have a boss instead of being your own.

You must spend a considerable amount of time producing these videos for us to enjoy and as you mentioned, we probably skip over the ad's anyways. Take all sponsors you can manage, you deserve the extra cheese. Love your channel and the outstanding restorations you share with us.

Lovely job, as always. I love watching you work and always smile when your "little helper" comes along and wants to do what his daddy is doing. A Lathe restoration video would be awesome!

Thanx to dedicate time and care to restore part of Santos Dumont history !! There are a lot of about use of wristwatch and aviation !!!

I'm addicted to this video. It's amazing to see the movement up close. Quality work. Thanks. Um....highly recommend keeping your day job.

Wow, that Cartier has been through the ringer. I'm glad that you're restoring it, because it's a beautiful timepiece.

Tremendous work always, sponsorship isn't going to deter me from watching your videos mate. I think all your viewers feel that way. Happy for you

What a lovely video. Your gentle approach and kindness is much appreciated.

Habe mir dies Video noch einmal angesehen, da diese Reparatur Gehäuse, Lünette, angefertigte Schrauben so wie das zu schleifen eines passenden Stein für die Krone 👑 einfach spitze war. Großartige Arbeit.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Amazing restoration of a totally damaged bezel screws and the polishing of the case. You have extraordinary skills and too much to learn from watching this video. Kudos to you .

Not only an incredibly talented watch repairer, but also a great father and role model for your children, then you top it with your humbleness and humility … many could learn from you in so many ways 👍

That was an absolutely fabulous job. I didn't think you were going to be able to make that watch appealing when I first saw it. You proved me wrong.

You’re skills are amazing and I love the total restoration of these great time pieces. As time moves forward you’re becoming more rare as a tradesman. I would imagine there aren’t many people who can do what you do. Well done man

"I'm old" lmao Your work is absolutely amazing, but the interactions with your kid and your Dad humour are what make this channel stand out that extra bit.

I could've never anticipated how well the restoration would turn out. Incredible work. You took us on a helluva journey. Videos like this remind why i love watches so much. Thank you.

I love your English humor and your brother's music.

Another super restoration, and yes I do mostly watch through the videos. If I skip a bit it’s a rush to see the great end result.

You've done another stellar job with this one! As for the lathe: yes please do a restoration on that, and as for sponsorships and more video's so you can get any bit of kit your heart desires: I see that as a win-win situation so no problem here mate.

YES to the lathe restoration One thing I'm always curious about, hours spent on restoration. That information would seem fascinating to know. You're an amazing artist

Wow! What can I express for the absolute best craftsmanship video that I have ever seen! I especially enjoyed the hands of your litt6le shop helpers!

That is by far in my opinion the best restoration I seen you do..

Man, that was one Cartier can of worms rusted shut . I enjoyed the Chimney sweep reference (9:18-9:22) for comedic relief . Men who patiently fix things that have sentimental value for others are invaluable . Always thank them profusely .

Quite an impressive job. I particularly appreciate that you don’t simply throw money at it to do a quick job. I enjoy watching you come up with repair solutions for case parts. And making new ones. Truly great skills. Great craftsmanship. We are very blessed to be allowed to watch you work. Thank-you.

Keep that little guy around you😘 Our children will need his expertise! Thank you🙏❤

It's great to watch a skilled guy doing something he loves doing , brilliant.

I honestly think that you have put in the work and you and your family deserve the reward ,get some of that well deserved money

A supreme dedication and an incredible result. I'm speechless. But when you said "support your local food banks and your communities" you won a fan forever. Unbelievable video.

Another amazing and sympathetic restoration, I love that you don’t take out all the dings and marks and still make the watch look amazing. Keep up the good work. PS take the money 😀

Just amazes me how someone can damage a watch like that but you brought it back to life and such a beautiful timepiece too.

Yes to sponsorship. Whatever helps you continue your videos. That to me is what is most important!

Thank you for another informative lesson mate. Wouldn’t hurt to have a sponsorship in your video if it helps your channel grow. Love your videos!

Wow, frankly that was astonishing. What an achievement. Lathe restoration - YES PLEASE!! Thanks Nekkid.

You take the time to make these videos.. I ALWAYS watch from start to finish. No skipping.

You're an intelligent fella so you already know if you sell out you lose self respect which is priceless and certainly cannot be easily retrieved.

Absolute respect for your skill, craftsmanship, and patience. I really enjoy the videos of your restorations. It keeps me entertained for hours, and I find the tools and process you use fascinating. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us all.

You have such amazing skills! From complex watch repairs to precision engineering... is there nothing you can't do?! Would love to see a video (or most probably a series of videos) of you designing and building a watch from scratch. Thanks again for a truly entertaining and educational film!

Your fabrication skills makes your channel my favorite. Replacing the jewel in the crown amazes me. Manufacturing the screws is also a highlight for me. I've only seen one other creator build watch parts, mostly pinon shafts, for his restorations. While I enjoy viewing basic watch repair content for my growing stages of watch service, videos like this demonstrate a master watchmaker. Other videos your have on case restoration also keep bringing me back. Wonder if you do gear building and watch face making to keep these relics alive. Thank you and best for you and your family to come.

Oto kwintesencja rzemieślnika, człowieka, który zna się na swojej profesji na wskroś i dodatkowo potrafi zarazić swoim hobby oglądających! Z zapartym tchem oglądałem cały film i czuje się wybrańcem móc podziwiać Pana w pracy!!

My father was a watchmaker repairer watching your clips brings some memories back to me. I always wonder how you remember the parts to put back together. A very entertaining series.

My dear watchmaker Real fans do not skip on videos. We are traped, amuzed with the beauty of your work. If it benefits you it benefits us. Enjoy the sponsorship as a repay for your great art craft. Do not put your heart it to it only. All blessings come from the creator of time. Be blessed. With love from Costa Rica.

A lathe restoration video would be educational and great fun to watch, so yes please! My daughter makes her own watch screws on a fine old Lorch lathe, so is fascinated with your skilled Cartier Santos restoration. ...I'm sorry to be a year late here, but we've only just discovered you...what a joy! 😊 Many blessings to you, Wendi and Billie 🌻🌻

Perfect example of good Child labor! My dad build houses, and do the same. The spark in interest a dad can give his children is amazing

Astounding work! Love seeing 'Trouble' lending a hand. The giggle of a little one is good for the soul. Mine are all grown up!!!❤

I would love to see the lathe restoration, please. When I first started watching your channel I was perplexed that you would bother to restore some of those watches. Now, I get exited when I see some of the rubbish you are going to repair and restore to almost brand new. I'm never disappointed , it never gets old. Whatever you decide regarding sponsorship will be right for you. Cheers from Australia.

I'm watching your video. You are taking this complicated machine apart. It has a million tiny parts that look fragile and have to be reassembled correctly. Honestly, I cant imagine anyone being able to do that, or ever learning how to do it. That is astonishing.

I do very much appreciate you including the frustrations and mishaps of watchmaking in your videos. Not many would have included 'meltgate'. It gives us all hope! 😁

The most fascinating watch restoration I have seen on any YT Channel. Yes please, a video of you fixing the lathe, I'm a sucker for restoration videos. Don't judge a person sitting on the street outside Tesco, offer to get them a sandwich and a drink.

I have never had issues with sponsorship. You work incredibly hard to produce great content and certainly deserve extra $ that comes with sponsorship. I feel it the money can be used to better the channel than it’s a win win for everyone. Let’s be honest, the majority of viewers skip them anyways without a second thought. Cheers mate!

YOU REALLY LET YOUR SKILLS SHOW WITH THIS CARTIER . IT LOOKED READY FOR THE BIN BUT YOU DID SOME REAL MAGIC ON IT . SEEING YOU RESTORE THESE ABUSED WATCHES IS INCREDIBLE .

Bravo you! What a great result earned from so many skills. Impressed. I also appreciate you message about supporting our communities in need, wonderful you.

Your offerings never cease to amaze. 40 minutes and 51 seconds of skill and patience concluding with some very sensible advice... all from a Brummie 🙂

I started to say this video was some Hogwarts-level witchcraft, but it wasn’t. It was quite simply a beautifully stunning display of where craftsmanship and artistry meet up to create and inspire. Thank you for sharing your time, skill, and wisdom with us. Lathe restoration video? Absolutely! Sponsored content? Absolutely. This is your best video yet and it’s the best one I’ve seen across YT.

i don't 'skip', as someone more familiar with Whitworth spanners and removing crank sludge traps on old motorcycles I find the finesse and mechanical sympathy demonstrated here captivating, and such a chilled vibe.

No , your videos are real food for our souls and what you are doing is a very gentle and noble thing. Keep doing it like you do the best. Cheers everybody

Another beautiful restoration Joe. Q & A What got you started into watch making and how long have you've been at it? Yes, things are rough even across the pond in the US, but my wife of 49* years and I are struggling through it. Your videos always put a smile on my face and I watch [no pun intended] from beginning to end. Cheers from this old retired coot living the dream in Tennessee.

For the years of time and effort you have put into your videos here, take advantage of those sponsorships, sir. You've more than earned it. Plus, it's mutually beneficial. There will be new goodies on the channel. Thank you for your content. Your videos are exceptional!

I am a fan of your narrative style and your wonderful watch repairing skills. It gives me a great deal of pleasure in watching your videos. Your kindheartedness is inspiring. I love all your videos and your attitude that makes them more appealing. My prayers for you and your loved ones. ✌

Absolutely incredible restoration.. People like you, with your determination and patience drove the human race forward. 👏👏

I don’t comment on videos but, you’re one of a kind for not thinking for yourself but for your community and the good for all👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
