I find it amazing that anyone would want to have a commentary-free, music-accompanied version of your videos since it takes out all the fun and personality that others find rightfully endearing. It’s a beautiful thing when talent, intelligence, and kindness all come together. I hope your kids know how lucky they are to have such a dad...
I agree! This gentleman has a wonderful sense of humor and I love learning how these beautiful time pieces work. It just amazes me. This is a lost art.
I skip the ASMR and music versions. I like to hear commentary on the repair/restoration process and history of the pieces.
Agreed!
Indeed
Completely agree. So many channels just silently work. With the commentary I find myself learning obviously not gonna have the same level of expertise 😂, but you start to learn part names and location it’s really awesome
Please don't ever stop explaining what you are doing as you take a watch apart and put it back together again. As a learning watchmaker/repairer, it is extremely important that that I see and hear, from a Master Watchmaker, the correct names of the parts and the correct order of operation for the disassembly and reassembly of a watch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us, I can't thank you enough for this. Cheers, and God bless you!
I watch all of your content which is excellent. You bring me a lot of peace in an otherwise tumultuous life. God bless you and your family and thank you for including them in your videos. I enjoy watching them learn. Not enough parents, fathers in particular, teach their children a trade. I love you in a brotherly way sir. Keep it coming!
For someone who isn’t in this business I’m watching and inordinate amount of your videos.
Same!
Same
Same 😂
Same
Same !
I love the commentary and where you name each part. Nomenclature is a very important key to competence and understanding. Thanks!!
I can’t believe how beautiful it turned out.
People like you who care, make me so happy !
This watch deserves your service mark.
Thanks for including the washing and polishing. For me, who doesn’t know a pallet fork coil from a mainspring jewel lever, what I like is seeing the physical transformation. I love hearing about and seeing the gunk and abuse, seeing it removed/fixed, seeing which parts are broken, etc., and then seeing the transformation happen. Also the part with your kid laughing was great. Cheers.
I love your relationship with your son. Btw, your voice is great. Very calming. I don’t think anyone minds you speaking
I'm 50. I have never thought about the working of a watch. Since l saw your first vid , l was gob smacked. The tiny engineering. Its amazing. Its more than that. Actually matching time. Insane . I appreciate watches so much now. In such a small object. Mind-blowing
Thanks to Nekkid Watchmaker the Oris Super Model is now a very desirable watch, beautiful job.
Dear Nekkid: I am 56 years old, but I insist Ibwant to be like you when I get to grow, because we are blessed by Life with the chance to grow.
This work is one of the most beautiful revival on a watch, and not only it is so beautiful to see it happens, but also, the laughter of your beautiful little monster/apprentice does to the soul what you are doing to the watch. Thanks to both of you once again... ❤️
The only channel on UA-cam where I don’t care about adverts, quite the opposite in fact. Get ya money!!!!
Speak! Speak! I love your humor and your stories.💗
For us just starting out the narrative while you work is very important. You are a magician and a good father, God bless you and yours.
The first video I watched I put a comment that once apart I would never figure out how to put it back together, now having watched all of your videos I must say that I’m getting pretty familiar with what is what and what goes where and when, your young apprentice has a good teacher !
That was one of the quickest 27 minutes I've watched in a long time, hooked. 👍
Wow what a fabulous restoration and watch. I'd be proud to wear such a masterpiece.
These classic ristwatch are like gem with its very beautiful design.
I found your video by accident, I really enjoyed watching you do such a great job of refurbishing this watch. Thank you.
Jon Cheetham thanks for the kind comments Jon, I’m so happy you like it
Me, at the beginning of the video: "I'm pretty sure he's gonna replace the glass."
Me again, from 10:54 to 11:28: 😳
Jo Kensy the crystal is plexiglass so very easy to polish so no need to waste it
@@NekkidWatchmaker it it true mineral crystal doesn't take well to polishing?
Stephen Weiler plexiglass is plastic so easy, mineral is a bit tough to do but can be done. Check my omega pocket watch restoration where I do polish a mineral glass
@@NekkidWatchmaker Thanks for the explanation 😊✌️
Your level of work is astonishing.,and its addictive to watch!
I was really surprised that that you could renew the glass that much just with polishing and the voiceover was hilarious! Thank you for the video!
Thank you 🙏
I live in the US now, but I grew up in the village next to Hölstein, Switzerland, where the manufacturer that makes Oris watches is located and I used to drive by it quite often. It is a big building for that small of a village. So glad to have seen an Oris restored that beautifully! Males me want to become a watchmaker! Awesome channel, and wonderful watchmaker! Keep up the good work!
...and that's why I've never complained about the cost of a full watch service from an independent watchmaker.
What is an average cost? Just curious.
@@toadjones79 Assuming it isn't a particularly high end watch, a rough estimate would be around $150 USD.
@@jakekaywell5972 thank you. Best answer!
Can confirm, local watchmaker serviced an inhouse iwc from the 60s, it cost like 130, and it's running amazingly
You, sir, are a master craftsman with such precision and patience that so many others couldn't imagine.
I love watching your videos and how persise you are with the movement of your hands.
It's amazing just how small all the parts are .
My hat's off to you, sir !
Fantastic job !
Thank you 🙏
One more question.
I just purchased an ORIS from India that looks new. Is the ORIS I purchased a legit or a fake watch ? 😮
that dial is KILLER.. just beautiful
MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt I love black dials myself
Very beautiful watch. I like it very much. Please keep on talking and commenting, explaining what you do.
Thank you for your vidéos.
As a child of the 60's it's so nice to see things back to their jewellery shop window condition...lovely workmanship.
Cheers from Melbourne, Australia
OMG, The Naming of the Parts! Thank you! If you're looking for a hobby, might I suggest microneurosurgery? It would be a nice way to relax after this.
What a gift you have. I use these videos and stress buster and time outs. Thanks much.
Amazing, this watch is now more accurate than many modern mechanical watches.
Thanks roger
You are the most charming, kind and patient person I experience on the internet, by far! A real gentleman and artisan. I really appreciate your videos. They are so relaxing and soothing in this world of madness; full of rabble-rousers, loudmouths and mouthpieces. Please do carry on. I wish you all the best.
This is the most addictive viewing ever
Thats a stunning transformation. Love that watch face.
I am a retired Mechanical Engineer and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching your Watch repair and restoration video. You are truly a master craftsman of the highest order. Watching your video answered many questions I have mused about over the years regarding Watch design and repair. If you know of any videos that show the Die Tooling used by the Watch making industry, I would very much appreciate you passing along the URLs. I can send you my Email if you would prefer to respond off line. I have also subscribed to your channel.
Geez, literally the type of watch I saw my Dad wear growing up. Thanks for the memory.
Very impressive for a 55 year old watch; "master craftmanship"
You are a good Father my friend. I always love it when the watch makers apprentice makes an audible appearance on your show. Your interactions with him are really good to hear. A lot of people aren’t nearly as good with their children these days. I’m older and my children are all grown up. They aren’t nearly as patient and loving with their own children as I like to think I was with them when they were 3 to 5 even 6 years old. Keep up your fantastic channel my friend. Great watching as always
Thanks mate for your lovely words
Before now I've never been interested in clocks or watches but you videos are just so peaceful
I can recall feeling deeply disappointed when the time began being displayed on so many devices, almost negating the need to wear my watch.
I love your work Joe, it explains my appreciation of beautifully crafted watches. Thanks for sharing.
I agree. A friend stopped wearing a watch because he had his phone. I couldn’t imagine but 12 years later and I do the same.
a. It’s amazing how you remember where everything goes after cleaning. b. Watchmakers are amazing for creating these very tiny metal parts and gears! ⚙️
And this isn't definitely one of the smallest movements......
@Nekkid Watchmaker I recently subscribed to your channel after watching vintage JLC get restore and find them all therapeutic watching you restore these magnificent time pieces back to life.
OMG!! THIS WATCH CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL... I want one.
I am speechless at the end of each video. Amazing!!!
I've only been watch repairing for a very short while, just a little over 4 years now, and find your restoration videos very interesting. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your projects with us, step by step - I am learning so much, and enjoying the light hearted humour along the way! I hope you and your family keep safe.
My ancestors were watch and clock repair people. I have a tiny hammer that belonged to my great grandfather. Interesting to see it done.
Another splendid restoration, a genuine every day watch of the 60s.
This guy saves watches that literally saw history
Restoration of vintage watches is always well regarded. This was a great job and the watch looked and ran great when complete. Great Job!!
A great restoration/repair. There is just something about this watch that strikes me. I really like everything about it. I can see myself wearing it. I enjoy your channel and have been working my back through your earlier videos and this is one of my favourite watches.
It is remarkable that disassembling, cleaning, lubricating, reassembling and presenting a finely crafted timepiece can be so enjoyable to watch. I feel so privileged to peer over your shoulder with a view closer than if I was with you in person and watch a master craftsman and artist utilize years of experience and study bring something long neglected to life. You are simply wonderful and I hope you continue producing and sharing your videos long after your son becomes a renowned watch smith. Writing "Thanks" is inadequate.
Thanks Peter
That watch is one year older than me, the old timer scrubbed up better than I ever could.
This is the same watch that my grandfather's dad had and gave to him he then gave it to me but because I was too young I ended up losing it and ever since then I've hated that I never knew what it was called thanks to your video I now know what I'm going to get next Christmas
You are amazing and your sense of humor is refreshing. Keep on keeping on brother.
Love it with your son hanging around. I feel life in your videos. God bless.
Extraordinary restoration of that beautiful watch! I'm really enjoying watching your artistry and it's amazing how calm you stay...some of the things you're doing would get me so frustrated...but then you're a trained professional who knows anger leads to lost parts and lots of "floor time". But...we do need more videos!
This is the first time I actually watch a complete vintage restoration, and enjoyed every minute. I like the the fact that you explain the process, and do not ramble on other subjects.
Keep up the great work, and keep shining those diamonds.
Oohh oohh wonderful work of a True Watch Maker ...Dear Joe you did not see meeee i am clapping here....bravooo ...
Im just here present..Loving from Philippines
Thank you....,
How the hell you know how all that goes back together is amazing 🤩
i learned not to ever take my watch apart.
Lovely restoration. I would love to own a beautifully restored piece like this.
Kif 482.....1960-1968.......Beautiful simple Movement......very accurate for the Era.....always a joy to repair.
Two things, Nekkid: #1) no more creepy voiceovers and #2) please, please treat yourself to a manicure. Great job restoring a beautiful watch
Another masterpiece of art. As usual with a lot of experience presented with care tutoring. Thank you.
What an unbelievable transformation! I was actually surprised that the movement wasn't in worse shape, given the abuse heaped on the crystal and case. Thanks for an awesome video!
jmfa57 thanks mate. As long as no moisture gets in to it, the movements usually survive really well. And this would have been a dress watch so it wouldn’t have been around water much
@David Topchiev YES Please OR OVERS
Yes i agree.if non water resistant watches are moisture free and looked after and properly serviced
Regularly there is no reason that they can give good service for many generations.during my 55 years on the bench, i have serviced many movements over many generations.it is gratifying that my life long craft will be in good hands after i am gone.all good wishes for the future. John Anderson.
Plexiglass not crystal.
@@NekkidWatchmaker Amazing work. Love your videos 😊
I am an ex commercial diver. I have an old (CWC) automatic Navy diver watch. It's an old friend and I used on every dive for many years.
The second hand slips. It doesn't keep great time now, the besel and glass is scratched...
I would dearly love to bring it back to new and wear it again...
Can you fix it for me?
Best regards

Excellent channel.
Very informative and interesting....You are a horological Genius.
You are very Gifted my friend...a pleasure watching you restore these watches...Mad Skills
Beautiful piece of work subscribed!
I love your parts washer with small sections to keep everything separate. What a wonderful machine. Amazed how well the crystal came out.
Notice that editing video is like assebling a movement. First assemble and prepare all the parts, lay them out in order then adjust the cuts and transitions required. Apply the VO to clarify key points and then check it' is all running to time. You are clearly getting a grip on the production process. Well done.
😳😳 wow!! You never cease to amaze me.
That is stunning.
Round of applause to you sir.
Gorgeous! Can't believe it is the same watch!
Thanks Chris
You just give her a new life,I really enjoyed it a lot....!
funny, I thought of it as a "her" while I was watching (no pun intended).
wow, from scrap metal to glittering jewel...congratulations!!
marius montano thank you marius
Wonderful job restoring this Watch. Well done.
Cheers
Willy
Watch this video for the second time now, and that must be the most beautiful watch ever made 😍😍
Love the noise reduction thanks for that, I really do appreciate the little things you youtuber /craftsman do.
I've always wondered what was involved in a complete service/restoration, now the mystery is solved. Many thanks, that was fascinating. Instant sub!
Wow, that restoration was incredible!
Your videos intrigue me. But kills my anxiety just thinking of handling the tiny parts. I had to google why there were jewels inside where they aren’t seen. Lol. I know now. I love old pocket watches and I can see the excitement of making and old dead one come to life. 👍🏻
Well done! I was really impressed with the process, thank you.
Wow. You’re work is literally unbelievable. How do you even begin to learn about watchmaking and repair? How do you instinctively just know where each part goes without a diagram?
i love this watch, has become a bit of an obsession to find one for myself.
Ok, love your banter an such stuff.. your voice is soothing an so is Trouble's.. he's an amazing wee fellow..!! Thanks so much for the history an just everything you do.. Amazing.. Thanks for sharing your lives with us grateful ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Thank you Donna
Wow, just Wow. What a beautiful transfiguration from old and beat up to brand new. I love your channel it’s peaceful and very interesting and calms a person’s mind from the issues of the day. Thank you.
Nice restoration...good macro work too...well done!
The Mighty Mini Macro Watch Channel thank you for your kind words.
How time fly's when your watching a master at work. Thanks for posting.
GF1, another beautiful restoration. It turned out awesome. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😎
Thanks and your welcome
I am amazed and delighted! What a delicate and painstaking job! How much knowledge and skill, what experience and pragmatic knowledge should be! Very grateful for this video.
Love to hear the commentary and explanations of what you are doing. It wasn't easy on a lot of this video, as your voice was very quiet. Very informative though, keep it up.
What a lovely looking movement.
You have given me a new appreciation for the classic timepieces of the past. Today’s digital watches have nothing on the old!! Thank you.
To the eye of the unskilled, (mine!) I was surprised that the movement in this watch wasn’t more gunky and broken than it was? Given the obvious tough times the case and sapphire had been put through? Finished result as usual with your work is fantastic. An enjoyable vid. Thank you.
24:21 Some rap poetry: "It's a mat flat black leather strap!"
A reborn ORIS !!! Beautiful watch, and superb craftsmanship !
Wow. Love the rewinding of the spring!
I'm really loving this series of videos, you've gained a subscriber here! It would be great to hear some more of your history with watchmaking, and keep up the great work!
David Elliott thanks David. I will add small snippets of history as I don’t want to bore people
@@NekkidWatchmaker Excellent,
Just found your channel and must say it’s brilliant!
Thanks for sharing your skills with us, so intriguing.
