Your 'bogie' in the reflection of the cleaning machine had me in stiches, Joe...... You're a special Guy with a special family. Thanks for sharing your skills, knowledge, sense of humour and family with us 👍👍✊✌
Always exciting to see that you have a new video out. Your comforting voice, sense of humor and loving interaction with your children balanced with the delicate handling of tiny mechanical marvels is amazing.
Always a pleasure to watch you transform these timepieces with your incredible hands. The real jewel is your clever wit and dialogue which never fails to spring into action. The cogs of your mind are always turning with ways to entertain and inform us. We never see your face as time goes by , instead we are left to create our own impression through the cheeky glimpses we catch in the polished pieces.
These videos are such a lovely change from my usual entertainment of old machinery restoration, which often consists of blokes bashing the crap out of old rusty iron with big hammers and gas torches. It's nice to know that not all problems are solved with a big hammer.
I don't really believe that it's being "told off," it's forceful constructive criticism and it's worth listening to. Everyone wants to do the best job that they can do but over time, we all get into Bad Habits and Cut Corners. This is alright if we still are achieving the best job that we can do..... but when our work suffers and we carry on with the Bad Habits, we need pointing in the right direction and told how and why we are making a mistake. Accepting that constructive criticism, Accepting that we aren't doing the best job that we can do and accepting the fact that in every aspect of our lives, there's always something to learn and there's always someone better than us.... That's the humility!

@@joseywales3789 I do agree with you. I don't think he was being "told off." I just repeated his words. In any case, I think it was a genuine positive concern coming from one watch enthusiast to another, and meant to be entirely constructive. Although there are those who, filled with pride, can't accept even the most constructive of criticisms. Even the best can indeed learn new things.
As someone who can just about be trusted to wind a watch and change a strap I am always spellbound by our Nekkid friend’s skill, his willingness to take on constructive criticism says so much about his dedication and lack of ego.
It breaks my heart to think of how many beautiful watch movements like this one have been chucked, destroyed, biffed and forgotten when all they need is a bit of care and some expertise. This was another wonderful adventure and bittersweet too.
Love your videos, So many watch restoration videos are so painful to watch in there entirety! But your affable, non judgmental demeanour with the correct amount of vocabulary is so easy to watch. But adding your playfulness to the mix is genius and very refreshing... Keep up the excellent work and best wishes to you & your family.....
The definition of a good father is how well you interact and teach the ways of world to your children. You’re a natural! Loved the video, learned a lot and the watch turned out great.
That watch has more gems than I think I have ever seen in a watch repair/cleaning/updating video. The inside colors and gems in this watch is more beautiful than the outside.
I had a head injury nine months ago, But watching your work and how calm you are has done wonders for me, From all of us here in California we say thank you.
Your macro views are fabulous!! You’re not overdoing it with the macro shots. For the first time since I started watching a lot of these videos, I can actually see how the gears work together. Thank you.
I appreciate your lighthearted approach to life, coupled with an understated dedication to your craft. Very nice, very inclusive, very upbeat. Thank you!
I personally love your photography work! I'm just getting into the watch repair "hobby" and I hope I'm not disappointed with the actual experience verses the images you have produced in this video!!! Cheers my friend!
This is so relaxing to watch,excuse the pun,with that lovely voice of yours.Apart from it being an amazing therapy,i fall in love with every restoration that you have done.Just wonderful.
It's amazing what a small gesture to the accountant offers so many new possibilities. I know you are still learning but there are already some very nice shots.
Really enjoyed the mega macro format. The movement was absolutely pristine and stunning. It deserved to be shown up close and personal. With Mother's Day coming up, I think you may have a nice gift for The Accountant to replace her Tissot.
Thank you again for entertaining and making me a little bit wiser, the Guinness dance is a memory . As for santa,s little helper he deserve a crack at a watch love his enthusiasm for learning and wanting to emulate his talented teacher . Start him young !
It’s a lot of fun to watch your videos. You do a lot of good in this little world that you influence. Thanks. I’m a yank, but I lived in Birmingham for a while in the early eighties as a missionary. Ta ra duck.
Great vid again, v enjoyable to watch. How do you remember which screws came from where when re-assembling? Do they tend to follow a size/ form convention or is it trial and error which ends up on the cutting room floor 😉
With the watches I've worked on, mostly vintage American pocket watches, screws generally fit correctly only where they belong. Some of them, such as bridge screws, might be interchangeable, but others, like those holding down the setting lever or click, probably are not.
Whenever I see any of your new videos, I click LIKE straight away because I know it's going to be good. I wish I could do what you do. My gorilla fingers would kill anything that delicate. You have a surgeon's touch, my friend. Looking forward to seeing more.
Hello there. I watched yesterday and tried to comment, but your video had been converted to 'private', so here I am today to give you another like and tell you that you did a grand job, but I'm not sure you could have managed without Trouble. You brought the watch back to life. I enjoyed watching you work no end and thank you for uploading. Tara a bit.
Great job as always!! Brilliant! My grandfather left me his Omega Seamaster from the 1960/70's and I plan to have it serviced. He has been gone for approximately 20 years so I know it needs service. I contacted one place that supposedly specializes in vintage Omega watches and inquired how much approximately I would be looking at for a regular service w/o replacement of parts. They told me that when they service an Omega watch, it ALWAYS needs new parts. I have seen enough repair videos from Master Watch Makers such as yourself that this is not true. I will continue to look for a watch service center that has integrity. Keep up the great videos. Cheers from Central Oregon in the States.
Omega will do it for $550 if thre are no huge issues and will offer a dial redo for about a grand but you don't have to get that. There is some info on their website and a watch that old will get sent to Switzerland for the service. Takes three to four months usually.
Wow.... 1900 likes (plus me!) and 0 dislikes. ZERO! This is a RUclips first. I've been waiting and searching high & low for the RUclips vid with over 1000 likes, but *ALSO* with the highest likes to dislikes ratio on RUclips since 2005 when RUclips first started - and here it is. Congratulations, Nekkid Watchmaker!
Thank you so much for the wonderful video. It was a great pleasure to watch the oiling process so up close and personal. I will admit though when the alien showed up I dove behind my easy chair then peeked over when trouble sounded the all clear 😊
Love your productions and inclusion of your family! Feel like I am watching a junior watchmaker in training:) Especially appreciate your sense of humor. You make my day every time you release a new production! Thanks for investing in macro equipment! Nice!
Always find your approach very enlightening and fun , love the humour. How on Earth do you make it look so easy I’ll never know, keep up the great work.
Your videos have inspired me to try to make this a hobby for me. I've started getting some tools and odds and ends. But since I also have an accountant it might be a little longer before I'm ready! Keep up the good work!
Great Video..! Very Cool method to restore the bracelet..!! SUPER MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY...Adds a unique dimension to all your work..!! Thank You..Cheers..!!
New camera , Cool AF. Same old kid. Endlessly charming. There should be a You Tube award for horology. Call it The Ticky. And the winner is...Nekkid!!!!
Beautiful job. I always laugh at the "accountant" references. Very honest, from the heart and humble in your videos. Main reason I always eagerly look for the new ones.
50% here to see your nice work/ 50% here to see the sweet interaction with your young man. Miss that age with my Daughter. You’re a good Man Charlie Brown ;)
Approx 8mm lost from the main spring x width of spring (say 2mm) x coefficient of lubricant ( 1 ) x little helpers favourite number ( 4 ). Fantastic refurbishment, but by my calcs will loose about 4 seconds every other Thursday. Good effort though. Love the new camera shots.
Wow. Fabulous views of things I have been guessing about. Love the video, love the watch. Want one just like it. And your videos are always improved when Trouble comes in to help out!
This new camera work of being able to get very close in shots is more than a smart move, it is industry forward, meaning you have taken the RUclips people on watches to a new and more informed level inside of your craft...well done, very well done indeed! Give that youngster more camera time..he needs the money for his lawyer!
I have a gold pocket watch that belonged to my grandfather. I would love for you to restore it for me. I am in Mississippi, USA. Please let me know if you would allow me to hire you to do this. I always love your videos and I think perhaps you are one of the greatest watchmakers!!
The macro shots were making me hold my breath!! Excellent work!! I do some micro soldering at work and use a camera and a monitor to see my work. What do you use?
Macro it s a great addition and the video is great...now for the close up detailes that you wanted to show, you just need better light straight on the movement. 😁

Don't you mean boogie? Bogie has a VERY different meaning 🤣
Lol, you mean my uncontrollable body movements?
@@Miss_Toots Yeah Derek and Clive world records.
@@NekkidWatchmaker Didn't look so uncontrolled - might come from the weird way it mirrors though 😁
@Robin Jones Bogie talk is making me feel a bit bilious!

What a delightful renewal!! I hope the accountant appreciates you masterful efforts. Blessings to you and the family.
Can we take a moment to admire what a cracking colour and texture the mechanism body is? Another watch that deserves a glass back!
Yes, so much beauty hidden to the wearer. Do we know what the plating is to get that beautiful rose gold?

All the bridges for the most part with some exceptions here and there share the same screws. And other screws are obvious given the size/application.
Nice to see that salt and baking soda are good for something! Glad to see Trouble was helping... :-)
Can I ask how much that bag of watches cost? They all look like really nice ones. Looking forward to seeing more of them.

A Masterclass in the repair and renovation of such a beautiful timepiece...encore sir.
The Tremors reference was much appreciated!
Great Video..! Very Cool method to restore the bracelet..!! SUPER MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY...Adds a unique dimension to all your work..!!
Thank You..Cheers..!!
The macro shots are wonderful! Make me feel like I shrunk and climbed in the movement.
You made me obcessed with a vintage gold Omega, especially the square one. I will get one one day

Very well done, thanks for sharing
Well done with the spring. And you really made that band shine.

Those are really nice shots.
Thanks for taking us in so close 🙂

Love to the family pal.
That was great - loved the macro shots!

The macro shots are awesome
Once again, excellence! You do not disappoint.

Looks brand new...very nice!

Getting great shots with that macro lens. Focus is critical and you might gain more focal range if you step the lens aperture down.
The macro shoots might have been a pain for you to do but looked fantastic, as always a beautiful restoration thank you for all your time and effort.
Thank you 🙏
