This is rapidly becoming my absolute favorite UA-cam channel. I love the restorations mixed with the visits from the kiddos. It’s so wholesome. Chaos, in the form of a broken timepiece, is gently and lovingly coaxed into beauty by a kind and generous human. Thank you, Joe, with all sincerity. ❤
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
Showing the lighter and singing the melody from the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey just cracked me up!! You had to be of a certain age, maybe but THAT was funny, 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 ❤
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.
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🙏😘
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.
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!!
Thanks for the video! I always keep an eye out for your new videos. I think I joined up when you had about half the videos you have now, I went back and watched all the older ones. Your channel is defiantly my favorite watch channel. I like how your not scared to do anything with a watch to make it right, its great to see older watches made new again. On the other hand newer watches and how they work. Overall my appreciation for watches has grown old and new alike. Thank you good sir! :D
That is when a watch was a watch!! Nothing but great 😊 quality went in. I observed the name “Omega”, which makes this watch better. It has only the date feature (no day), but this watch lives up to its name. The case color ramps things up even a little more. Happy belated Christmas 🤶🎅🎄🎁, and a Happy 😊 New Year!! Very prosperous and safe 2023, from your friend, Jeff!!
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!
Thank you, I love watching your videos... very calm, never seems to be the same challenges for each watch, which is nice. I learn a lot by watching you.
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!
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. 😊
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.
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!
Can’t think of a better way to enjoy a hot cuppa and mince pie than to settle down and what one of your videos - can’t wait for the full version 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧
Love me some Omeeeegas! Love me your channel, too!! Here's hoping you, The Accountant, The Goth Daughter and Trouble are healthy and happy going into the new year! May peace, health and happiness attend all of you in 2023.
Stunning! Stumbled onto your channel after watching WWR and I must say...absolutely stunning job...I'll be watching the other restorations and the final full video..awesome stuff! 😊
Man, you are a gift, and the work you do is always appreciated. Thank you so much for the time and effort on these videos. They're just great. Looking forward to 2023!
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 ✌️
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.
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👍
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 :)
As allways, very informative and relaxing to watch. Thank you for the great videos this year. Helth, wealth and prosperity to you and your family in 2023.

I love all of your restorations, but this is one of my favorites.
The epitome of someone driven by an intrinsic desire for quality in everything.

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. 😎😎😁😁
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 ❤
Once again Joe you have outdone yourself! Beautifully restored Jedi!! Always nice seeing Trouble helping out the Jedi Master of Watches.
Just pure Alchemy Joe. You sir, are a Master of your Craft. Thank you.
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.
Looking forward to the next episode. These "insane" resto are my favorite. Great job, Sir!
Glad to see another great restoration vid. I look forward to the next installment 👌👌👍
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🙏😘
Fabulous craftmanship to see performed on a thing of beauty that deserves a new life
peace and love to all in this world
Happy days Joe, big love bud
The most therapeutic channel on YT. Lovely guy. Takes soooo much patience to do something like that. Love it.
I got into watch making to tame my mechanical impatience.
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.
I'm pretty good, I sean all his segment's:)
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.
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!
Your attention to detail is just beyond remarkable!!! Can’t wait for the full video.
Lovely case restoration, such attention to detail.
Glad you’re back doing your stuff 🎄
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
I love watching watch repair videos but yours go one step further with the case restoration. Love it! Keep em coming Nekkid watch repairer.
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!💪🏼👏🏼👍🏼🍻🇦🇺

You are very welcome back. As the old saying goes "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" 💓
I learnt from this channel to respect and take care of my time pieces.
I can't wait to see the full video. Trouble has baby arms. Priceless😀
What a treat! Can't wait for the rest of the video!
LOVE YOUR WATCH RESTORATION VIDEOS! YOU ARE A TRUE GIFTED ARTIST!
Another awesome resto, looking forward to the whole video !
Merry Christmas and thank you for the gift of this beginning of the restoration!
An amazing watch what a find you have there, looking forward to the full restoration of that wonderful ticker.
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 have been having severe withdrawal symptoms while awaiting you long overdue project, today I am a happy subscriber. Great to see you back👍
Thank you, I love watching your videos... very calm, never seems to be the same challenges for each watch, which is nice. I learn a lot by watching you.
Step by step an artist presents his work to us.
Thank you.
Always impressive to watch you work ! Thank you for sharing what you do with us 👏🍻

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

❤ ⏱️
I wasn't worried about him as he normally puts out one a month. But always look forward for him to post a new one
I have a lapping machine and every rock, crystal or semi precious stone looks like it needs my help.
@@2degucitas Tell me what kind of lapping machine you're using.
@@cikalo The brand? It works with abrasive discs on a spindle.
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.

So happy you are back, even with a “teaser”. Blessings to you and yours.
Merry Christmas to the whole Nekkid Watchmaker family from Virginia, USA
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!
Can’t wait to see the rest
I am enjoying these in depth segments of a total restoration. Thank you. Joe, I love your channel.
Hi Stian, thank you, I look forward to the whole restoration. Regards
Brilliant close up photography on top of your other Brilliant stuff and things
Can’t think of a better way to enjoy a hot cuppa and mince pie than to settle down and what one of your videos - can’t wait for the full version 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧
Love this! Thank you! X

Wow. Just Wow. What great skill. Excellent job Sir.
I’m so excited about this restoration Joe! The Jedi is one of my grail watches!
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!
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!
Nekkid...you never cease to amaze me? Good show!
You are an absolutely amazing craftsman and human being. Missed you.
You think of everything! It looks brand new!
You are the Jedi of watch repair really love your contacts. It’s so satisfying merry Christmas to you and your family.
You Sir are simply magnificent 👌🏼🙏🏼👌🏼
Man, you are a gift, and the work you do is always appreciated. Thank you so much for the time and effort on these videos. They're just great. Looking forward to 2023!
Nothing short of pure wizardry.
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 ✌️
Cool watch. Can’t wait for the rest of the work. Merry Christmas!
I think that this is my favourite so far. Nice work.
Very nice. Looking forward to the rest.
Brilliant, thank you for sharing your skills and helping others to achieve great results.
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.

The only thing that's come of this dream is I sat around and got fat. 👌🤣 looking forward to the full video 2x👍
You are loved and appreciated Joe. 😊
Really looking forward to the restoration!
Nice camera focus.. very sharp. The magnifying by UA-cam is nice, but the cameras really decide the shooting quality. Top notch
Superb as always. Shows the massive void between us hobbyists and you professionals!
Gives me something to aim for .
Thanks Mike
glad to see a new video of your process again, i wish you and your family a happy and healthy new year

Thanks mate always appreciate tips and advise from fellow tinkerers
The Accountant will be proud of the way you cleaned the lapping machine that she purchased for your enjoyment. ;)
That case is a beauty! Great work!!
As allways, very informative and relaxing to watch. Thank you for the great videos this year. Helth, wealth and prosperity to you and your family in 2023.
Genius! Pleasure to “watch” you work.
Excellent. Looking forward to the full restoration.
Whenever the world seems to be spinning out of control, I come back to this channel to seek some refuge
watching you fix the bevelling on the outer case is so interesting
You got a good start on the plating. Im excited to see the entire video! I already watched the restoration of the box.
Such a crazy amount of craftsmanship in your work. Another great video. 👍
Simply fabulous. The case looks so good now. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Good to see you back. Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas.
