Perfect way to demonstrate that inexpensive things can still be worthwhile. I love to hear your children laughing in the background and see you play with them. I pray you and your family are always safe, happy and healthy❤️🐝🤗
Buddy, I have watched (sic) your videos for a few years now, always enjoyed them. Today, my RangeRover decided to blow up on me, (broken spine, so they’re super comfy ride for me) and been told it’s 9k to fix it. I have been super stressed all afternoon, worry, upset and stress, which is horrible. And I open up UA-cam and what do I find? Your video. Never have I NEEDED to listen to someone’s calm and gentle voice, exuding a peaceful slow attitude, which has really helped me tonight. Thankyou

I cannot help but think that there is something Fundamentally Virtuous in the work you do.

Thank you for your work!
Being old, broken and generally a bit budget, it's a joy to see such a gentle, calm person using those virtues on an old, broken and formerly budget watch. Peace to you, yours and others you hold dear.
Hi Joe. Very nice camera and lens for the crisp close-ups there. I just received my 70+ year old watch back from a watchmaker, restored to working order from a sad and broken state. It was my father's and grandfather's, and it is making me happy to hear it ticking. Can't wait to show my mum and siblings.
Not a one-off. I have seen several of these “Telemetre” Calograph watches. I have seen an old newspaper ad for one new at $9.95 in Chicago. I have one in my collecation with the brand ‘Mentor’, made by Bader SA of Switzerland. Bader bought in the off the shelf movement. I think they were novelty watches, but popular in its day. They make no sense as the pin stops the balance. Love your video, love that you do not silence the back ground noises.
They all don’t have to be high end watches, to be a great restoration job. Plain and simple but a fantastic job done, great work with your children’s interactions makes a great relaxing watch ! Keep safe to you and yours 😊
That's amazing! My dad gave me a watch almost identical to that one. He said when he was young he and his brother both ordered one from a magazine. I would love to get it going like that
I feel like everyone who watches your videos also watches Baumgartner Restoration. If not, I’m sure they would like his videos too. I feel like he sped through his last video. I wait for your videos no matter how long it takes or how nice the watch is.
A Lapanouse! I recognized it immediately and laughed, knowing exactly what was going to be inside! Some consider this type to be one of the worst watches ever made, due to it stopping when you use its functions, as you realized once you saw how it worked 😂😂😂
Thank you Sir! I think the case was injection molded out of a zinc aluminium alloy and plated afterwards. Where the plating left the case the bare zinc/aluminium base was exposed and that's vulnerable for any (weak) acidity. Dinky Toys are made out of a similar alloy. Someone mentioned it "monkey metal" to me. You can't do anything with it. No soldering or brazing. Just glue and pray for a somewhat lasting result. It sucks. Thank you again and again for all of your wonderful uploads in this world in turmoil. Bless you Sir and peace for all. Best, Job
Some of the diecast-toy restoration channels have found a material from a company called Muggy Weld -- I think it's their "Super Alloy 1", which is advertised as a solder for pot metal -- works well for soldering that alloy back together, and even for building up damaged areas a little. Of course, that's assuming it didn't end up with a case of "zinc pest" from lead impurities in the metal. When that happens, there really is nothing to be done.
I love videos like this as much as any other from you. Yes it is nice to see an expansive well made watch taken apart so we can enjoy all the art and technical wizardry that goes into making a watch tick but for me your videos are a point in my day where I get to stop, and do nothing else than watch an expert do his thing. We also get to see why the fancy bells and whistles are added, you can see just how much metal rubbing on metal can damage a part and why gaskets and such stop grime getting in.
What a lovely little inexpensive watch, probably the first time it has been open since the day it was built! Thank you for showing so much care and attention over an item that is probably a fraction of the value of some of the pieces you bring to us, love your work.
i'm recovering from emergency surgery to reattach my left knee cruciate ligaments and so am stuck indoors. Therefore seeing another upload from you really raised my spirits!!! Thank you so much.
Looks like my day to day running a used music store for 3 decades. So much effort, so much time cleaning and restoring cheaply made guitars. I like to feel as though we make them better than the manufacturer intended. It's a labor of love. Great content as always.
The pin pallet movements have been the bulk of my tinkering so far, but I didn't know what they were initially. I got interested in watchmaking last fall after looking up how to remove links from a watch my dad gave me before he passed, which then brought me down the rabbit hole. So I started buying cheap but cool looking vintage watches on eBay thinking I had cracked the code. But when my first vintage Timex arrived, I was bummed to discover it had a weird looking movement (different from the UA-camrs that I had been watching), so I decided to take it apart fully, then learned from the countless experts that they're not supposed to be fully disassembled and serviced (but it now keeps really good time). Alas, they also said to start out watchmaking on a working movement. I've basically started out against the grain on all initial accounts, and it's been painful and fun at the same time. I watched videos for 3-4 months while sneaking (one time I snuck in an ultrasonic purchase while my wife was paying for her Taylor Swift tickets 😂) the funds to purchase basic tools and lubricants. And here I am, at an airport in Florida commenting on your channel and binging the vids. Names Joe, too, BTW. Cheers!
On these movements the A/h is actually 17280 not 18000, so you have to manually change it to read at 17280 to regulate these guys (it'll autodetect at 18000, but it's wrong and that's why it's not working)
Crappy movement, but a great video! I learnt quite a bit, so thank you for taking the time to attack an ugly duckling. Loved the notion that you'd have to ask someone the time if you used it time your trip to Tesco's, or wherever.
It's been a while, waited patiently, and in reward I got to see another lovely old watch restoration... well done, Nekkid; it's always a pleasure to see your work. Can't wait to see another, soon. 🥰
What a pleasant way to relax, listening to your soothing voice and common sense approach to your art.you sir are an inspiration to humanity with your love and humility to the human race . God bless you sir.
UA-cam handed me a gift today by placing this video in my list of suggested videos. While I can't quite understand the point of the piggy-back ride in the middle of the video, I was delighted, nonetheless. 😆 The presenter's sense of humour had me giggling and chuckling throughout. I almost forgot I was viewing a watch repair video and not an episode of Monty Python. Cheers to the toddler whose sound effects could be heard throughout the video. What a jewel! Thank you for making my day.
The blue strap better… I just serviced my father’s old clemiter stop watch…similar one jewel…yellowing of plastic crystal..weird dial screwed on…but still had a bunch of fun. These videos are awesome..thank you
Hi Kalle Really great to see your workshop and hear of your new "old Rover" car. I am fascinated by your profession. I think you are all very skilled engineers. The workshop seems very well organised to me. Cheers
Nice job Joe! I did a restoration one one of these a few months ago, brand was Misalla, no calendar though. Same base movement exactly! I had all your problems plus a bent main plate horse shoe shaped pin pallet (fork) none jewel hole, and a bent pin pallet pivot (obviously)! I oiled the main so prong barrel as you did, thanks for the strip down and assembly of it! I like different movements, but not a big fan of low jewel count and pin pallets. Saying that, I’ve got it running well and still have it, it looks cool even if not technically excellent 😁looking forwforward to more different watches, movements, problems and especially fixes! Ta.
Great work my friend! Thank you for showing us the insides of a working man's watch. But maybe not the complete bottom of the food chain, something similar to a base model car, but optioned with the big radio and fancy paint!
Fantastic video as usual. Watching your videos I have learned enough that I've been able to perform a full service on a Bulova 7ak. I had to replace the balance and the mainspring but the watch is now running and keeping perfect time. Thank you for all you do.
I've missed your videos lately as here in the Philippines there was a heat wave. good to settle again for som tranquility . Also your great sense of humour is uplifting. Peace to you and the world 🙏🏻
I have 15 watches with this movement and despite being a cheap movement they are sll running well after I serviced them. Some of them actually have jewels on almost all pivots. I have never seen them anywhere else in a BFG 670.
Hello Joe, lovely to hear from you, hope all the family are well. Nice video, amazing that something with big holes in the side has survived, not one to do the washing up in! Best wishes to you all, take care man.
I have a fairly inexpensive wrist watch that I have been wearing since high school. I’m 69 years old now and the watch still runs and keeps time perfectly.
Just goes to show we are all worthy of respect, no matter how others perceive value. Be kind to ourselves and to others. Peace and love to all. Kind regards from Australia.
Fantastic content as always, thank you Joe! Whilst your comment regarding pin pallets not having chronometer level timekeeping does of course hold true overall, there is one interesting exception I’m aware of. Oris were obliged to use pin pallet escapements for much longer than they probably wished due to a statutory agreement whereby Swiss watch manufacturers and suppliers agreed to continue keep making the same products they had been making, and wouldn’t adopt new technologies. I recall you mentioned this in a video where you restored an Oris watch. Undeterred, Oris submitted some finely adjusted calibre 652 pin pallet movements for chronometer testing at the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1968 and they passed chronometer certification!
Proof that even if returns are inevitably diminished, much can be gleaned from completing what is started. If it’s just about ROI, this is really not the tinker to tool around with. He does this not only because he can but because it’s who he is, it would seem. Really enjoyed this video just as much as any other. Be well Kind Joe ✌️
Joe.. I think with this one you passed the exams to become a certified forensic horologist! Well done.. I was sitting early in the morning with my tea and thought the little one had said.. “oh shxt” made my morning.. God bless you and the family.. Frank
I have a buler "stop" with the same movement, sans date. Runs great! The dial is almost identical. Thanks for the upload, I won't be disassembling any bfg watches anytime soon😂
*Awesome video... 🙂 Interesting about the skin reaction to certain metals. I have to wear stainless steel on the back of any watch as well as the stretchy straps... as my skin 'eats' the other type of metal used. My first watch at 12 or 13, within a year it was gone... had to get another watch with SS on the back!. Even earrings and sleeper earrings must be SS as well 🙂nz*
You did a wonderful restoration of an odd peace of history and you displayed very high craftsmanship but was it worth your skill and time??? The world wonders
hello, Fonte injectee is french, fonte is cast Iron ,and injectee is injected so it should be the casting method of the case, cast iron injected in some mould. Love your Videos. God bless

Do you mean you have a bad back or did someone plant a bomb on your Range Rover and blew you up breaking your spine?😮
@@Orangestardust he means that he had a broken spine (possibly from some incident in the past) and he drives then a RRover because it's confortable for his condition.
Been watching for awhile and I'm curious did you get schooling for this or is this a trade you learned on your own? And did you get certified for this?
The watches aren't always gems but the videos always are :)
Glad to see you back, my friend. It may be an inexpensive watch, but it still deserves a little love.
Watch issues aside I really enjoy this guy's manner of speaking. It's just as enjoyable as watching the video.
I cannot help but think that there is something Fundamentally Virtuous in the work you do.
Saving pieces of craftsmanship from decay and degradation, honoring the great works of our fathers, and preserving them for future generations.
I pray nothing but goodness upon you and yours! Thank you for your work!
Your channel is brilliant and you're a true gentle soul.
It is so satisfying to see a skilled craftsman at work, and someone who is so clear and calm too. The watch turned out beautifully.
Being old, broken and generally a bit budget, it's a joy to see such a gentle, calm person using those virtues on an old, broken and formerly budget watch. Peace to you, yours and others you hold dear.
Old broken and a bit budget sounds like me :D But I wholeheartedly agree!
I've been old, broken, and budget for decades, but I still manage to enjoy living. 🙂

Baumgartner (not the art restorer) is also a Swiss maker of bespoke/custom watches, amirite?
A Lapanouse! I recognized it immediately and laughed, knowing exactly what was going to be inside! Some consider this type to be one of the worst watches ever made, due to it stopping when you use its functions, as you realized once you saw how it worked 😂😂😂

I like it. Has a certain faded glory about it, something you might see at a seedy old amusement park.

Always makes me smile when you post a video , no matter what it is . Your voice is so peaceful. Thank you 😊
Wow, you just made my weekend! Thank you! I missed you and your voice, and your kids. Stay blessed and safe!
Fascinating to watch a 300 pound repair and service on a 5 pound movement., at least we know how this minimal movement works!!!
Respect!
Yeah, the time and effort that went into that balance was insane! Love it!
Your attention to detail and steady hand is exemplary like watching a brain surgeon perform always a joy!
On these movements the A/h is actually 17280 not 18000, so you have to manually change it to read at 17280 to regulate these guys (it'll autodetect at 18000, but it's wrong and that's why it's not working)
Crappy movement, but a great video! I learnt quite a bit, so thank you for taking the time to attack an ugly duckling. Loved the notion that you'd have to ask someone the time if you used it time your trip to Tesco's, or wherever.
That watch ended up looking far nicer than it actually is!
I really enjoyed seeing all the clever cost saving solutions in that movement.
Many thanks for that - the watch came out very respectably - better than I thought it would.
It's been a while, waited patiently, and in reward I got to see another lovely old watch restoration... well done, Nekkid; it's always a pleasure to see your work. Can't wait to see another, soon. 🥰
I would like a video showing how
you organize the watch parts as
you disassemble it 🌿

The navy blue nylon strap with the “gold” buckle looked amazing. Beautiful watch.
Good to see you. I love the forensics on and explanations of a watch that isn't even of great quality.
You Sir have an incredible amount of passion and commitment.

Nice suprise on this sunny Sunday for you to make an appearance,lol love this show.
ingersoll type caliber(trash can movement))
"Fonte injectée" translates as die cast. So, as a previous commenter remarked, the case was made from zinc alloy, then chrome plated.
Great work my friend! Thank you for showing us the insides of a working man's watch. But maybe not the complete bottom of the food chain, something similar to a base model car, but optioned with the big radio and fancy paint!
beautiful looking things ! regardless of the simplicity.

Awesome work, Joe, as always! I utterly enjoyed watching what you can make out of this cheap watch. Thank you!
I follow you from Palestine, you are a noble and wonderful person, I enjoyed it a lot, freedom for Palestine 🫡❤️
Hi Joe, - This watch case shares it's quality with our Olympic 'GOLD' Medals .. being plated over a base metal. A sign of the times methinks.
I have a buler "stop" with the same movement, sans date. Runs great! The dial is almost identical. Thanks for the upload, I won't be disassembling any bfg watches anytime soon😂
Awesome camera work!! I very much enjoyed this-such skill!
I have a couple of those movements in my watch “collection”. Not so easy to work on, but glad to see something like this! :)
*Awesome video... 🙂 Interesting about the skin reaction to certain metals. I have to wear stainless steel on the back of any watch as well as the stretchy straps... as my skin 'eats' the other type of metal used. My first watch at 12 or 13, within a year it was gone... had to get another watch with SS on the back!. Even earrings and sleeper earrings must be SS as well 🙂nz*
You did a wonderful restoration of an odd peace of history and you displayed very high craftsmanship but was it worth your skill and time??? The world wonders
You are the paradigm, great man do great job 👏. Always enjoy watching 😂
It may be a cheap watch but you showed it the same love and care as the most expensive one. It's not always the cost that makes something valuable
Interesting movement for sure, not sure if I'd go for that kind of utility. My heart was again crushed by that drawing an the memory it brings.
Passion project for sure. Another nice video. Thank you!!
Some great camera work, great voiceover, lovely video, thanks for making it !
