If I worked at Casio, I would send you two Certificates. One a "Certificate of Accomplishment", for doing something that was never meant to be done. And one a "Certificate of Foolishment" for doing something that was never meant to be done. Outstanding work, as always! 😎👍
Lol thanks mate
Love this comment 🤗This was a GREAT EPISODE!!
Such a great Episode! Great job!!!!!
great video ❤❤and loved the comment 👌👌
What zuke said.👏
😳😳 mate seriously, you have the patience of a saint, you went way above and beyond the norm to show us all something we’ll probably never see again.
I admire your dedication to your craft and to bringing us all this amazing channel.
It’s been a pleasure to watch as always.
Thank you 🙏
There are still people in this world that still fix things. Amen.
Help with the right to repair laws and this culture may come back
I don't know if you're interested in automobiles at all, but check out Soup Classic Motoring, an absolutely phenomenal channel. He films most of his work in stop motion, check out the Range Rover restoration.
Eh?
Why not? We need real masters all the time. Capitalism has killed masterhood last years. "Masters" only change battery or the belt. But this is real MASTER
These Quartz/digi hybrid are as engineering intensive as an automatic movement. As a mechanical design engineer I really appreciate these relatively cheap Casio masterpieces.
Oceanus Casio are the best quartz analogic watch made only in japan.
I wonder if Casio will ever see this and say “That is not how it is done! Just order the parts from us.” Awesome job of doing what is not suppose to be done.
He does the difficult, right away. The impossible, just takes a little longer.
More likely someone realised they were doing it wrong ;-)
People like to disregard quartz movements, and yeah maybe having almost everything made of plastic isn't so hot, but still I found myself very appreciative of the amount of design and complication in this. It's surprisingly captivating. We like to think "Yeah it's all a battery and a computer", but when you see it disassembled like this, it really is obvious how much design went into it.
Exactly my thoughts! Having owned, wrecked and disassembled many a cheap digital watch in the 80's, this is exactly my attitude to quartz movements. 3 pieces of plastic and a battery.
Well said mate
And don't forget the engineering that went into the firmware that runs on the 'computer'.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's just a one instruction CPU that has to keep track of all the used program cycles itself to keep the time.
If that's the case, it's very impressive that all the features work, while keeping the time, on such a simple chip.
Really, really, enjoy your commentary during the videos. And “Trouble” the “little Watchmakers Apprentice” adds to the enjoyment. Please keep it up and we wishful watchmakers will keep enjoying your content.
The owner will appreciate your patience and restoration of his Casio watch.. Well done 👍
Like they say, teach your kids to make things, and they'll have a job forever. I envy you for having this talent and patience.
I am a professional Watchmaker from Jalisco México, with passion patience and skills. I am humble mexican with good roots from good family
I don't think "they" say that, but I kind of get what you mean
Also teach them to be quiet
I have an ECB500 Edifice and this just gave me way more appreciation for what has essentially been a “beater” watch for me. This is glorious. What a craftsman! But more so, amazing micro engineering and ingenuity that goes into these mini miracles. Put tighter, truly fascinating video
Your ability to educate and entertain is priceless,just like a science teacher that makes learning fun. Your content has given me almost enough knowledge to reassemble the watches I've disassembled into neatly organized piles of frustration. Look forward to each new video. Take care sentient being .
His knowledge has taught me to repair a Rolex that would had cost me major money to send out.
I second that.
Great comment.
I'm looking forwards to when his son comes of age. When he is about 5 and starts repairing things.
I'll trust him with my clockwork train set and an old alarm clock that I have
Since I thought of this first, you lot, can form a queue behind me.
Thanks mate. Keep trying and that pile will eventually become a watch. Don’t be afraid to break a few things along the way
Must admit I thought for a minute you will dump that when the springs came out. But forgot that you will sort it one way or another. Love the WTF JOE bit by the way. Made me laugh. Wonderful job & it has now made me in the market for that watch. Cheers.
WTF JOE? Love it!
Ditto
Yep. I was surprised catching it too
Just saw that 🤣
Well played
👌😂
Anyone else want to dive into the boxes and boxes of “spares” Joe has and then just choose one and get Joe to restore that? He must have some absolute treasures in those boxes waiting his time and skill. I would be like a kid in a sweet shop!
I don't mind if the new microphone is better or not. I don't mind what you do with the impossibly complex watch. I just love the wonderful commentary, the relaxed humor and the pleasure in your voice as you do what you enjoy. And love the kids in the background.
I would love to see the reaction from the owners of the watch when they receive it all cleaned up!!! Your amazing!!
I’m like a kid going to the baseball game for the first time when you Start your warm ups.Every move you make is effortless and I think I hear music when your hands perform its rituals over the watch parts. You are the star of this game.
"so many springs, I don't even know where they go" I lost it 😂
@9m30s: "WTF JOE" Comedy !!
"-I'm not trouble anymore" Lovely!
Hat's off to Casio for managing to mass produce something like that. The precision and tolerances involved in manufacturing that watch would make most average mechanical movements look like steam engines in comparison.
Quartz watches like that deserve more respect. They are every bit as complicated as a mechanical watch, a lot more accurate and definitely more affordable .
Well said mate
They can make digital watches and gadgets but what feeling u get with theys time pieces have no comparison theys just magic
And I still wear them and love it
Wow, I've now got a new appreciation for quartz watches. Another masterful job Nekkid, I'm in awe of your skill and the care you take. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for yet another demonstration of your superb patience, skill and wit!
Thanks Gary
Love the wtf joe. Also would have pat my shants when all the springs fell out!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 me too!!!
An electrician friend once told me to “ buy a durable watch you won’t cry over if you break it” . I think he was thinking of the watch you just serviced. Seems like it is durable enough and in certain circumstances durable and inexpensive makes sense.
Joe grieves for all the watches he can't save im sure!
You just made my day...again. The accountant better be happy! Anyone who can get all those tiny springs back in without loosing them is a genius!!!
my 'daily driver' is a black case, black dial casio lineage, solar, radio-controlled, five alarms, chrono, multiple timezones, countdown timer, three analogue hands & an LCD, waterproof to a thousand fathoms or whatever, weights about 4.5oz
I think I paid £200.
so when I saw you pull the breitling to bits, I was (I'm afraid to say) a bit "huh." the casio even looks better.
now we can see that the standard of engineering inside the average 'cheap' casio is every bit as good too.
excellent work, sir.
The first minute's audio was heavenly -- I could actually hear you very well! Please continue using it!
Lol
I think 30 years ago I (perhaps) could disassemble this watch.
I know I could never put one together.
This was the definition of the word talent.
Amazing!
Yes. You really are a magician, a real craftsman. Glad to see your apprentice is progressing. 😄
Thank you, watch wizard. I really enjoyed this repair.
I'm just checking back through the occasional video that slipped through the net,and found this one.
I apologise for not watching it as soon as it was released.
I'll try to ensure that I don't miss any others.
It's 00:06 and I'm in my bed, ready to sleep and then the Nekkid Watchmaker posts a video......... sleep can wait (and the elbow in the ribs from my accountant will have to be endured!) good audio, I can even hear you over "her indoors" telling me to turn the light out!
Lol sorry mate. Next time I’ll have to list the video in the afternoon so you don’t get in trouble
@Nekkid Watchmaker, I've finished watching and she's snoring like a battleship fog horn..... that was worth every elbow in my ribs. The one thing that really enjoy about your content, Nekkid, is that you're willing and able to disassemble, clean and reassemble an "ordinary everyday watch!" We can all see Rolex, Omegas, Patek Philippe, Breitling, TAG Heuer or even a Vacheron Constantin being serviced but how many of us own these watches? It's a pleasure watching you work and I certainly admire your skills. Now time to sleep! 😴👍🇬🇧👍
You need a light to view this? You are not doing something right.
@@velviaman3206 screens emit photons in the form of light to transmit the data they show to our eyeballs, i assume this is the light the accountant mentioned ;)
@@De4thInc4rn4te16 I know what photons are, they are are ideal bendy bed for the spare room.
After watching your videos I finally plucked up the courage and set about fixing an old watch of mine I had in a drawer.
Carefully I removed the strap and back and removed the winder. With a bit of patience I removed the mechanism from the watch case where it fell in to multiple pieces. From this I put the aforementioned pieces into a clear seal bag and put it all back in the drawer and went and cut the grass and cleaned the car.
Lol. Don’t give up mate
It makes me happy to see you repair things that the manufacturer never intended to be repaired. Well done!
What a tribute to your skills and patience.
That was a real test which you passed with flying colors.
It reminds me of the man who, walking down the street, saw a fellow beating his head against a stone wall.
"Why are you doing that/" he asked. "IT feels so good when I stop", was the reply.
That watch wasn't quite a stone wall, but repairing mechanical ones will probably seem
less taxing.
Your son is going to be awesome as he grows up and learns just how lucky he is to have you as a dad.
The microphone was a bit quirky but not too bad.
Cheers,
Frederick "Rik" Spector
Thanks rik. Still working on the sound and have ordered a lavalier mic
How do they actually manage to mass produce such an intricate movement. You have to appreciate it for that alone.
@doons403 humans probably don't even do that.
@doons403 But humans built and programmed the robot or predecessor so it’s still a technological marvel.
@doons403 I would guarantee you these are assembled by hand to a great extent
They have lots of people assembling small intricate parts - supervised by a few people with big sticks and knives!
@doons403 but who produces the boxes?
This was a very scary disassembly. So many springs and parts. Gives you a new appreciation for the humble Casio brand. Another job well done mighty watchmaker! Fun to watch this video too.
Thanks mate
"WTF JOE" 😊 you earned your pay on this one...
lol
I'm not sure the accountant actually pays Joe. He is way too chilled to be concerned about mere money. But accountants are accountants so he is probably forced to charge money for what he would happily do for free!
I have an old Lorus that runs well enough, but is beat up with scratched and chipped mineral glass, scratches in the case and bracelet etc, but it was a gift from my mam on my 30'th birthday, almost 20 years ago now. She passed away recently. It's worthless in terms of money, but means more to me than any watch I own or will ever own.
This amazing watch has been my daily driver for the last six years. So cool seeing the inside of it, thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate
You went above and beyond with this watch teardown. I have an almost identical one and was wondering how it's put together. Now I know.
Excellent job and nice spelling out of a message to JOE.
I’m simply amazed when I consider that a watch like this was mass produced! How on earth did they assemble these watches???
Once again...remarkable work!
Wow! With all those tiny parts and screws and springs, plus the small size of the movement itself, this Casio quartz looks a lot more difficult to take apart and reassemble than most mechanical watches. Nicely done!
The award for “most work put into a inexpensive watch” goes to...
Lol
@Veritas Valebit i mean its like a 300$ watch ik thats not an insane amount of money for a watch but i dont think id classify it as inexpensive lmao
@@NekkidWatchmaker
What is the description of the polishing discs you used, the first and the matte?
@@mizuxoo Definitely not an inexpensive watch to most of us. I think people see “Casio” and just write it off as cheap, but I can’t really blame anyone for thinking that.
I will say that plastic gears don’t belong in a $300 watch though.
You are thinking only in terms of money. People might have a deep emotional attachment to the object you find inexpensive.
Who would strip down a watch like this? Can this be a task for a master watch maker? After this video it is most certain than only someone who really cares is able to do such an amazing overhaul. Nekkid Watchmaker, best watch-channel by far and worldclass entertainment.
Thanks mate really appreciate your feedback and support
Thanks for using your valuable time to fully disassemble this module and show us just how intricate and fragile the tiny bits are and how they all function together. Most "normal" people would just throw this type of watch in the bin and buy a new one! You're awesome!
Watching too many swiss luxury watches and their servicing/repair videos I had lost complete regard for Casio/ G Shock & Edifice! This video has restored my respect for Casio! I bet if the Swiss, Germans or French made this tiny marvel! They would have found a way, and funded its marketing dept in such a way that these would sell close to rolexes too! Pretty cool stuff there! Hats off to ur patience and precise hands! Wowzer!
Thanks mate
How in god's grace did you manage to disassemble and reassemble that with out the full instructions. It took me 6 hours to put together a chest of drawers from IKEA and still had screw's over with the instructions.
Thats about my technical limit too!! 😂😂😂👍 Well said!
How dare you assume my atoms hahaha! The Casio Edifice line is sorely underrated! Nevermind the sound your personality makes up for any sound issues! Its extraordinary the amount of complexity these watches have!
Crazy... Already nearly 900 views in 18 minutes .Wow..👏👏👏.
Apart from your obvious amazing expertise and skill , it must also be the Brummy dulcet tone that you have and your hint of sarcasm and dry wit.👍Congratulations...👏👏👏
Great video . Amazing that we can see a movement taken apart that is impossible to find otherwise. Thank you so much.
you sound like a good father and human being. Oh ya very talented too.
Thanks Michael
That was the first time which I saw the Edifice's inside completely torn apart and believe me I loved it. Yes, I do agree with you, we should not compare these kinds of movements with Swiss mechanical ones. I really appreciate Japanese digital technologies which are combined with mechanical parts. I have 11 Casio watches like Sheen, Protrek, Gshock, Edifice, Forester & ..... . All of them are spectacular & working perfectly. Casio has a great heritage and don't foget it's an affordable brand of timepiece. I'd been teaching for 19 years & I love to learn or experience sth new and thank you so much for that. Be well & I'm sending you my best regards. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Thanks farnood. God bless mate
@@NekkidWatchmaker sure man, God bless you and your family specially your stunning son 🙏🙏
Craftsmanship is craftsmanship, whether it be from the Japanese designer or the watchmaker who manages to somehow rebuild it.
I do have to say I chuckled several "oh no"s when the springs randomly came out.
It's like a watch from another planet.
There is a lot of stuff packed there, I have to take my hat off on Casio.
Oh! Take care of your magic fingers, they're uniques. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Nothing short of amazing, I love when you work on quartz watches, they are my favorite ... yeah I know... but we all have our quirks
Hello dear watchmaker. Greetings from Costa Rica. As usual you leave me speachless. Always love the interaction with your boy jeje. I hope you keep bringing joy to all us with your wonder ful skils. May God keep you all safe.
Thanks mate, god bless you and your family
I am very impressed that you got that watch back together, especially after all those springs popped out. Nice job!
Thanks mate. I am impressed that you are a thunder cats fan
That was one of the best watch repair videos I’ve seen. When you see it being stripped down, you realize that it’s an electronic marvel. Casio is a highly under-rated watch company. I will always have one or two of them in my collection because they work so well, and are very durable.
I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Brilliant, you should contact Casio, and ask for a tour of their facilities, it would be interesting to see how they do this. But I can bet its not as much fun as watching you do it. You have inspired me to go out and fix my lawnmower, at least I can see the parts. I'll make a video of me buying a new one from B&Q when I mess it up. LOL
Another mesmerising video and you are one brave man delving into such unexplored adventures in watch repair!
Sarcasm. Yeah, that'll help!
All those little pieces!! I'd probably cough or sneeze and lose half of them.
Thank you for your patience with us!
Blessings back at you!! Ta-ra!
I would probably still be looking for the springs! They'd be embedded in the walls and ceiling!!
"Quartz movements are less complex than mechanical movements"
The Quartz movements:
Mechanical movement... hold my beer.

Joe, of all the watch repair channels on RUclips, yours is my favorite! I enjoy your easy demeanor and repertoire, and I also enjoy the banter between you and "little Joe" (your apprentice Master Watchmaker). I'm going to buy a Chinese clone of an ETA movement pocket watch and the basic tool compliment for watch repair, and I'm going to take Marks watch repair course (Watch Repair Channel), and see what happens. I've been fascinated with mechanical watches since 1966, when I received a Timex mechanical watch for my sixth birthday. I have a small collection of mechanical watches, both pocket watches and wristwatches, and I have a small box of vintage non working mechanical watches that belonged to my grandparents and father. These will keep me busy for a long time!
I was thoroughly impressed with your skills and expertise in taking this very complex watch apart and putting it back together again. Three cheers for Joe..... Hip Hip HooRah.... Hip Hip HooRah.....Hip Hip HooRah! It was quite a journey, way too many springs and o-rings for me to keep track of. Great work, Joe, and the microphone had better volume than the old one, but it's looks like it can overdrive easily. I hope that the motorcyclists wasn't hurt too badly in the crash. I've been a riding a motorbike for forty years, and I haven't crashed yet, but I have had countless close calls that got my pulse beating faster, and made me wonder why I risk everything by commuting on two wheels.
Thanks wade. Good luck with the tinkering mate.
Never thought I see a Casio here but what a watch! And some serious skills you have!
Wow. Great work. It fascinates me how much parts there are inside these Casio Analog Digitals. Thanks for showing us the process.
I just loved this one Nekkid! I am mesmerized by the detail of every part you disassembled. Do more of these really detailed ones. All of rhem are detailed but some are just that much more. Very very soothing and satisfying. Thank you! Ta Ta!
Each restoration is a piece of art in its own right.
Once again a wonderful repair so that the watch looks as good as new. I think it takes experience to be able to undertake such a repair.
Well done to you and your apprentice.
Thanks Rory
Many can't even dismantle and assemble a IKEA furniture without f**k thing up, have parts left or misplace them so they will never be found again!
I have been working as a goldsmith for many years, but this is on another level when it comes to handling small parts!
Well done, a great job!
Now thank you so very much. I am beginning to appreciate Quartz watches.
Your welcome Pablo
I enjoyed watching you disassemble and repair this one. I have one of those, it's a really good watch and sits there, always good to go at the right time and date. A true grab n go watch. Good to see it getting saved and not just chucked out. 👍
Thanks mate
Im an ex mechanic and can remember how things go back together but this is VERY scarey
Joe has the advantage that he can watch his own video to see how it came apart! Reassembley is the opposite of disappointment!
This is true mastery of your skill. It's easier to work on bigger metal part's, but this ....... I lose my mind around 9 min in to video. All respect !!!
Restored wonderfully. Even though I'm not a digital fan, I loved watching you work. The end result was beautiful. Well done Joe.
What can i say you just used your incredible master skills to clean and repair an awsome watch...something i can only wish to obtain in this lifetime...well done dude
Thanks Kevin. Keep trying mate and you’ll get there. Have faith
I love your videos and your enthusiasm. It is almost unbelievable that someone with the skill to restore a vintage Cartier would tear down a damaged Casio just for the experience of doing it. And when you took the quartz movement down to bare components, you put yourself on another level. Surely the Great watchmaker in the sky smiles down on you.
I have never considered buying a Casio... until now. Casio should be using your video to advertise their watches. Cheers from Australia.
Thanks Christopher
Absolutely amazing, my fellow human being! What a crazy teardown! Didn't quite catch where all those springs went, but man! What a job well done 👍👍
And as always, thank you and God Bless 🙏
I do like the presentation, minimum time spent on,”I am now putting the watch bits into the cleaner basket, I am now switching on the machine” you get the drift. The battery movements are a pleasant surprise.
You are an artist at his finest.
Brilliant as always, don’t worry about not responding to people. You can’t do everything. I for one just appreciate the skill and work you put into your videos. Peace love and light to you.
Thanks mate same too you
A repair guy with a sarcastic streak. I'm in.
I am really depressed these couple of months and it is getting to me slowly day after day. I love watching your videos, keeps my mind off of things. I hope to be a watchmaker in my next life. thank you for entertaining me always.
MORE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!
Mr Nekkid, you bloes me off and i like that you take your time to do some battery watches to! Ewery day after work i watch one or to of your great wideos. Wish i was young again but...! Always a pleasure to hear your soft war and comfortably woice and also you kid come and help you or trouble you. You are the best i found. Thanks Terje
Thank you 🙏
I now call my lady The Account, and my kid Troublemaker, lol.
Good one.
My wife is "She Who Must Be Obeyed". My kids are "Spender One" and "Spender Two".
@@blatherama You need to reframe them to "Suck up One and Suck up Two" The Wife must still be Obeyed. That was in your marriage vows, right?
I have named my accountant SWIMBO - She Who Must Be Obeyed!
One word comes to mind whenever I watch your videos. Gifted and talented. I guess two words come to mind.
Truly love your channel! It’s fascinating work and something I wish I could do. The reward of being able to restore these pieces from start to finish would be amazing... thank you for the content and for your wisdom I love your sense of humor lol. Hope you are having a great day!
Thanks Jacob. If you wish to do it then give it a try
‘I’ve bitten off more than i can chew, but I’m quite good at chewing’ - what a quote bro!!
Lol thanks mate. I guess we are all good at chewing eh?
You look and think: "Some magic!" But in fact, these are the "golden hands" of the master!
Lol thanks mate but I am no master sadly.
I love it when you step outside your comfort zone a bit with a quartz watch. Nice to see a good brand like Casio get some attention. Thank you
I really love to watch and hear you work. Great job!
I have this watch. Cost approx £300 4 years ago. Love the watch and love it even more now I know the work gone into its production.
Not only are you a great watchmaker, you’re funny as hell!
Your patience is impressive
As usual, entertaining, educational artistry! Keep these wonderful videos coming!
Thanks mate
I must admit that I like a fully mechanical watch a lot more. You still do great work.
