    Joe,
    As far as I'm concerned, there's no need to apologize for the sounds made by your children. That's what children do - they play and make noise. Asking them to be quiet all the time is like asking a dog not to pant. Besides, I love to hear you interact with your children - it's nice.
    I don't care what kind of watch you work on, I enjoy watching you work and listening to your explanations. And it will always be a mystery to me how you keep straight which gear and which screw go where.
    And I continue to marvel at your artistry and technical ability. You, sir, are a true artist.
    Blessings upon you and all yours. Here's hoping 2025 is kind to you all.

    • @johnsrabe
      @johnsrabe 15 дней назад +6

      I absolutely agree about the sounds. I’ve been producing radio for 40 years, and the value of a dead quiet studio is vastly overrated. The sound of a bus or a train going by, or some kids playing, or a dog barking, or cicadas (!) in the Midwest… Those are all part of real life and we shouldn’t edit it out. (OK, if you’re making a book on tape, I get it.)

You always take such care when cleaning and it amazes me how you can disassemble a watch with hundreds of parts then reassemble them all. I marvel at your handiwork when you have to fabricate missing or broken parts! Ive watched your channel for years and never tire of watching. I especially love your light-hearted banter and how you interact with your kids while working!! You are a MASTER CRAFTSMAN!!!❤❤❤❤

    Hi Joe, what a fantastic restore. Out of six of my Citizens, I only got one left. Most were stolen moving from S Africa to the UK. I'm a collector, and I have an Omega seamaster, that lost a fight between a married couple, and a Breitling Superocean that needs some love and attention. Many thanks 4 ur educational videos. RE Nic

    I have a SIEKO Quartz 150 Sports Chronograph from the 90’s that I absolutely love and had serviced recently as it was out of commission for too long. Besides its sentimental value, it is one of my favorite watches. Quartz or mechanical a watch should bring one pride and joy while wearing it. Thanks for your great content and willingness to do the extra-ordinary. Peace to you my friend.

  • @bullnose01
    @bullnose01 16 дней назад +5

    Excellent kick off for the new year, Joe. There are scores of watchmakers who would restore a Patek or a Vacheron. But who else would resurrect to its original shiny glory the first Citizens analog, quartz, perpetual calendar watch! Best to you and the Nekkid crew.

  • @diegolastra
    @diegolastra 16 дней назад +14

    About 30 years ago, when I was 16 my dad gave me this exact watch, but branded as Bulova. It’s had some issues and I don’t use it anymore but I’d love to get it working again. I’ve looked for more information online over the years but haven’t found anything about it online. It was a shock to open RUclips and see my watch here but as a Citizen.

    • @tomholloway7566

Change is unavoidable and I thank you for giving me a look over your shoulder while you delve into newer technologies.

  • @rogerfairhurst8705
    @rogerfairhurst8705 15 дней назад +1

    First off I have been so enamored with all of your earlier videos that it never occurred to me that the lighting might be sub-standard. The investment in up-grading is, however, fully justified and I for one appreciate the improvement. ISO ASA 100 was the film speed I always used when using my old SLR film camera giving me the best compromise between speed and Hi-Res.
    I absolutely love the subject of this restoration and am blown away by how well the plastic parts have survived forty years in what appears to be almost pristine condition. The restoration is (as always) impeccable and a joy to watch with your running commentary a pleasure to listen to. The final results are really quite stunning and if this watch were available today I would probably have robbed the Piggy Bank to buy one. I love mechanical watches but Quartz watches have their own place in my collection and so I'm not a snob in that sense (though perhaps in others!). Please keep on providing us with videos of your work, they are so well received as can be seen from all the comments. Greetings from Germany and take care Joe.

That is just my opinion but I love your work, humour and dedication. Cheers Nekkid.

    Nothing short of sorcery to bring even a quartz movement back to life.

    Another fantastic and interesting restoration , the fact that you can build a perpetual watch with plastic injected molded bridges and whells interacting with metallic ones is stunning . Thank you for sharing .

    ❤ Hoping for better days. All the best to you and your family. Loved the video and the amount of effort and love went to this neglected piece with its ugly plastic parts and beautiful dial. Well done!

    When I think of quartz watches I didnt think of them having so many mechanical components. Lovely video thank you for sharing. Charles

    I've had a Citizen for about 15 yrs & it's as good now as when I bought it. The accumulator failed after 5yrs & was replaced under warranty, so I guess it's getting close again now, but it is a marvel to see all the tiny bits inside these things and the precision of their engineering. Ta Joe, peace & love man!

    What a complicated array of cogs in that watch! Well Done, beautiful and skilful resto of this unique, collectable and venerable Citizen. I have several Citizens, Im wearing one now as you don't have to spend thousands to acquire a wonderful timepiece.
