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!
For someone who isn’t in this business I’m watching and inordinate amount of your videos.
Same!
Same
Same 😂
Same
Same !
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 can’t believe how beautiful it turned out.
I love the commentary and where you name each part. Nomenclature is a very important key to competence and understanding. Thanks!!
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!
...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
That was one of the quickest 27 minutes I've watched in a long time, hooked. 👍
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
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
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......
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

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.
Love it with your son hanging around. I feel life in your videos. God bless.
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
The only channel on RUclips where I don’t care about adverts, quite the opposite in fact. Get ya money!!!!
Restoration of vintage watches is always well regarded. This was a great job and the watch looked and ran great when complete. Great Job!!
Gorgeous. It just goes to show that a watch doesn't have to be an incredibly expensive piece of high horology to have personality, history and elegance. In the right hands, a tarnished and tatty piece becomes another treasure.
Geez, literally the type of watch I saw my Dad wear growing up. Thanks for the memory.
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.
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.
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
These classic ristwatch are like gem with its very beautiful design.
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.
I've always wondered what was involved in a complete service/restoration, now the mystery is solved. Many thanks, that was fascinating. Instant sub!
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.
that dial is KILLER.. just beautiful
MrsRandomMadeMeDoIt I love black dials myself
Love the noise reduction thanks for that, I really do appreciate the little things you youtuber /craftsman do.
Very impressive for a 55 year old watch; "master craftmanship"
Another splendid restoration, a genuine every day watch of the 60s.
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.
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
Another masterpiece of art. As usual with a lot of experience presented with care tutoring. Thank you.
Very beautiful watch. I like it very much. Please keep on talking and commenting, explaining what you do.
Thank you for your vidéos.
Amazing to see just how much skill is needed combined with a surgeon like steady hand needed to bring this timepiece back to life.
I love your relationship with your son. Btw, your voice is great. Very calming. I don’t think anyone minds you speaking
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 ? 😮
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 !
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!
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.
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.
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 man is a genius.Robots will never be able to achieve skill levels like this.Amazing talented craftsman.👍👍
Lovely restoration. I would love to own a beautifully restored piece like this.
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.
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!
Wow. Love the rewinding of the spring!
That watch is one year older than me, the old timer scrubbed up better than I ever could.
i learned not to ever take my watch apart.
It's so satisfying to watch you restore this gem! Perfection!
A reborn ORIS !!! Beautiful watch, and superb craftsmanship !
Well done! I was really impressed with the process, thank you.
This guy saves watches that literally saw history
Wizard of Watch making! Astonishing. This is what I call a true passion. It is more than restoration, it is reincarnation of a masterpiece by a master hand. Hats off!
Great to see you doing these watches and bringing them back to life!
24:21 Some rap poetry: "It's a mat flat black leather strap!"
I am speechless at the end of each video. Amazing!!!
People like you who care, make me so happy !
My ancestors were watch and clock repair people. I have a tiny hammer that belonged to my great grandfather. Interesting to see it done.
wow, from scrap metal to glittering jewel...congratulations!!
marius montano thank you marius
This is the most addictive viewing ever
Spectacular. I can’t believe how clear the plexiglass is. Beautiful job on a beautiful watch. Thank you for posting.
How time fly's when your watching a master at work. Thanks for posting.
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).
Nice restoration...good macro work too...well done!
The Mighty Mini Macro Watch Channel thank you for your kind words.
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.
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.
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... ❤️
Thats a stunning transformation. Love that watch face.
My first 'adult' watch. I loved it. It's great to see one again and - thanks for the memories.
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?
Just found your channel and must say it’s brilliant!
Thanks for sharing your skills with us, so intriguing.

I can't believe you salvaged that crystal. Well done.
Kif 482.....1960-1968.......Beautiful simple Movement......very accurate for the Era.....always a joy to repair.
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,
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.
Genuinely impressed with the tension at which a watch spring exerts its forces on a time piece and not explode. Quality micro-engineering at work.
Amazing, this watch is now more accurate than many modern mechanical watches.
Thanks roger
Beautiful piece of work subscribed!
Wow that's amazing I have trouble fitting a plug lol 🤣🤣
Wow ! What a difference , I’m absolutely amazed at how many parts there are and your skill in putting them all back together.
What a gift you have. I use these videos and stress buster and time outs. Thanks much.
20:38 when you are about to tap the open heart to finish the surgery
wow! very impressive, relaxing and enjoyable video. something with my sausage fingers i can only admire and not participate in. Thanks for uploading
You did a fantastic job on that watch. It it belongs to someone, they better appreciate it. It is a beautiful watch.
Thank you for the no music version.
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.
You, sir, are a magician. Subscribed. Greetings from Antwerp, Belgium
This is the first time I have ever seen a watch being done how the hell do you know where all the parts go
It takes time
😂😂😂
Experience
Movements all have similar parts. Once you do 100-200 you basically know where everything goes. In the beginning you take a lot of pictures and organize the screws carefully.
Just put them back where they came from :)
Speak! Speak! I love your humor and your stories.💗
Great Video...love that he explains each step, each part and lubes used...well done mate!
As usual, another great video but could you speak louder or closer to the microphone? I could hardly hear your commentary even with my hearing aids.
William Kaczmarek I too wear aids, but I find it better to use earbuds.
This model looks very similar to a Ebel vintage watch i had years ago.
Excellent job and great video. Those guys at Oris knew what they were doing. The movement is running smooth after a long time.
absolutely wonderful, i grew up auto mechanic and fabrication type work but i find watching you so soothing. thank you for your time you put into your videos
When taking apart a watch like this, my biggest fear is sneezing.
it's happened on occasion to my dismay.
The Commenteer lol
23:00 What do the meter readings mean?
Holy smokes, that was artistry at it's finest... well done sir.
OMG!! THIS WATCH CAME OUT SO BEAUTIFUL... I want one.
