    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 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!!

    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!

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. 😊

    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 :)
