Cartier tank watch restoration using a stone

[@johnsrabe]

Happy Christmas, my friend. History is full of scoundrels who wage wars to stay in power. But it’s also filled with good people who try hard to make a difference … and you make a small but important positive contribution to the daily lives of thousands. Thank you.

[@willemp6432]

I wanted to place a comment but you said it all. Nothing to ad to that.

[@johnsrabe]

@@willemp6432 Thank you for this. It makes me happy. And it also makes me realize I post some less than kind comments other places… and maybe 2024 is a good time to stop that. Cheers!

[@alexmihai3906]

Happy Christmas

Me 2 brother. Making this world better is not depending on others but ourselves.@@johnsrabe

[@joekanicki5306]

Well said! Nice to know there are still many sane, thoughtful folks out there. Cheers!

[@martinlouden9005]

A beautiful restoration Joe, and a beautiful message for peace. Peace be with you and your family.

[@Jesselovespinball]

I’ll never get tired of your words Joe. Your craftsmanship is amazing , but your words are striking and beautiful and hold so much meaning . Thank you .

[@tafkawac]

The most wonderful part of these videos is your relationship with your son. Beautiful. You're a good dad.

[@Miss_Toots]

If I could press like a thousand times, I would, your work is simply stunning. Thank you for sharing your art xxx

[@sarahsantos4504]

Being partially blind, the small pieces you work with, and how beautiful everything looks whenever you finis so amazing. I transfer from my phone to the TV to be able to see better. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing 🎉❤!!!

[@PCMcGee1]

Thanks for keeping the real in your thoughts and prayers, speaking out where we feel voiceless, and expressing so humanely what we rage about.

[@alancampbell1008]

I love how you show as much care and attention to detail on what many would see as an inferior quartz movement. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@JJ-om8vf]

Thank you for a wonderful video this Christmas and thank you for calling attention to the horror unfolding in Gaza with such class and respect.

[@ias3620]

You are a kind hearted person Joe, so deep within your beautiful heart you feel for the suffering of the oppressed people 😢 .May the Lord keep you and your loved ones peaceful....Ameen.

[@christophergarrett8455]

You are a credit to the human race,may all your dreams come true

[@lymonk41]

Keep on posting Mr. Watchmaker Nekkid ! I don’t Cole t or repair but I have found your “timely” comments over the last few years to be accurate and helpful in hearing and seeing a different world. Also watching and listening to your videos is very calming. Keep on posting as you wish !

[@aprilchambers-baird2117]

Brilliant and very enjoyable restoration as always. If only the powers that be abided by your philosophy the world would be a better place where all tribes had the same mindset of peace and love. I pray for that to be. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.

[@nibz7255]

You are such an amazing person Joe god bless you and your family and may you always have a voice to speak up about the injustice in the world.. peace and LoVe ..FREE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@originaltwyla4991]

25 minutes of interesting history, repair and beauty is the perfect salve for these trying times. ❤

[@colleenscorfield3505]

superb as always tough times i know but your path is filled with love from us all ,your skill and words are a small reminder that good is alive and well.

[@RichardHatton-e3s]

Thank you Joe, to you and your family a wonderful Christmas and prosperous new year. I wish people like you were running the world.

[@PB-wb2kj]

People like him do run the world, they just dont have a say in its outcome.

[@ZosoHacker]

Totally agree ❤️

[@irenedebruyn2796]

It tends to be madmen who run the world, strangely enough😊

[@glassesstapler]

Great video, watch and message of peace. Salute Sir!

[@Zardwark]

That was almost as impressive as the original video. It simply never occurred to me the quartz movement, bear with me, is simply the movement! The dial side looks pretty much the same. This, combined with, you don't need fancy tools just attention to detail, made this video one of the best imho. Simple, elegant, efficient.

[@Kylokoko]

Your workmanship is inspirational but your humanity is a joy to behold in a time with so much selfishness. Thank you Joe.

[@NekkidWatchmaker]

Thank you 🙏

[@federicoprice2687]

Thank you, Joe, for sharing your skills, charisma and warmth with us. Peace, love and God bless to you and your lovely family! 😊😊😊❤

[@timothyburke7226]

Best wishes. Refreshing to see the tradition of a master craftsman handing down his skills to his child. I don't envy your decision one day when you will need to entrust him with the responsibility of restoring a irreplaceable antique. Have faith in the next generation.

[@michelles8petesmith]

Thank you for your good wishes to everyone of your viewers and very best wishes to you and your family. Love all of your videos but especially those about Cartier watches, I have loved those for 50 years or so. All the best for 2024.

[@Kirstyn-s7z]

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

[@christinewarnaar-bates3494]

Love your videos and your sentiments ❤

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

I’ve been using a tank for forty years. Hands down my favourite style. Nice to know I’m back in fashion.

[@DainSmart-vm7pc]

You have a beautiful family. Thanks for the humble sayings. Forget the watch family comes first

[@scottdiller1893]

Love you Joe, (and Trouble too!) thank you for your (non)commentary on current events, spot on! Wishing you and your family peace and happiness in the coming year

[@johnmoorefilm]

Joe, I’m sure we haven’t the foggiest what you could be referring to? 🤔😉 Big Love and Thanks for all your wisdom and humanity through 2023.❤

[@lukozgurhd9832]

thank you for your beautiful words my friend stay as you are. merry christmas

[@billsmith5166]

I hope you take some time to think about all the happiness you brought to the people that watch your videos. It made them a bit nicer for a while. Have a good Holiday Season!

[@davidm106]

Such a good dad. From a fellow dad, I can tell by how your son reacts to you. Very beautiful.

[@johnvandeven2188]

You are still my most favourite watchmaker.

[@Worud66]

Great video! I love hearing your little boy and how you interact with him. I'm just a hobbyist watch maker, and sometimes I get frustrated when my little boys come in and want to play with everything and start touching all the tools. I should include them more in my tinkering like you do. Thank you for your example of kindness and patience. It's an art we should pass on to our kids. Cheers!

[@christophersprake2302]

Keep voicing my friend, our voices will be heard soon. I'm in Jordan and my wife is from Nablus. I watch your videos alot and I do also watch restoration in Amman as a hobby because you have inspired me and many others of watch making and repairs across the globe. Your a squire my friend and say hi back to the UK as I'm originally from Portsmouth 😅

[@SlapShotRegatta22]

A wonderful Christmas gift! Thank you Nekkid! God bless you and your family.

[@philliplopez8745]

Burnishing is seeing a strong come back in the machining industry . The final finsh achieved is amazing .

[@gmichaelhall]

Trouble has perfect fingers for taking up guitar and piano. Give him the gift that no one can ever take away, the ability to create and play music. 😊

[@gusser2121]

All the best for the season and the new year, Joe. Trouble isn't trouble anymore, he's sprouting faster than a weed. And you can tell the Accountant that the investment in the improved camera equipment has paid off in spades.

[@broderickblocker7106]

Thank you again for sharing your skill and your commentary. I will keep coming back for both.

[@cz_ww2117]

Your work is exceeded only by your message of hope for the human condition. Prosperity for you and your family in the future.

[@rogerquenault7207]

Another great video, your skill at turning a piece of junk into a diamond never ceases to amaze me, best wishes to you and your family for Christmas and the new year.

[@matthewhill5797]

Thank you Joe, I always learn something new, the burnishing trick is a blinder! As for your wishes and prayers, I like you hope they will come to pass.

[@wynandvanreenen2612]

From South Africa, thank you for your videos. You inspired me to consider watchmaking as a hobby at the ripe age of 45.

[@RealSuntuo]

I do not click faster for a any other new upload but from your Channel. Happy Holidays, Joe, for you and your family. 🎄🎉🎉

[@elitevinyl8035]

My friend. I love your composure and compassion never change a thing it's very rare in this world ❤❤❤

[@tattooyu]

Joe, I don't know what I look forward to more: watching you work or your blessings of encouragement and love at the end of your videos. Now, I have a *third* thing to add to the list: outtakes/songs!

[@chosenBYpicasso]

I've never seen a technique used like this with agate, that is amazing and going to help tremendously with some of my projects! Thank you.

[@brianmason744]

Wow it was great to meet you and letting us in on your travels through this life. I appreciate watching a tradesmen, as I am one myself in historic homes. Sometimes the best things in us just flow. It feels good. Positive non partial content. Love it!!!!

[@ilaril]

I love watching you giving love to these pieces of art. I wish I could study to become a watchmaker, but unfortunately that ship sailed the moment I got my nerve damage at school. Doesn't mean the fire isn't still burning. Thank you for another year of great videos!

[@jeffhammond8969]

Joe, much appreciation for you're work and your wishes for the coming year. The world would beat better place with more peace love and understanding.❤

[@cthulhex]

Never thought I would cry at the end of a Nekkid Watchmaker video, but here we are... Beautiful wishes, may they come true, may 🍉 be free and in peace ❤

[@trevorstephenson5766]

Totally with you my friend and with the oppressed wherever they are-peace and love to all 🕊️🕊️❤️❤️

[@jefffoley7876]

Your kindness shines through

[@charlesconnaughton7292]

Beautiful watch matched by your skill and comments.

[@sethwaldo]

Your videos are quite good. I thank you for your honesty and your humanity, and as I watch this I am hopeful for the future of the human race. You are a good man.

[@s80heb]

Bro I love your work, especially bringing awareness on a different matter. Keep up all your good work,

[@PrometheusZandski]

Sir, it has been a while. So glad to see you back on the channel. I have missed you.

[@ChattinArmsCorp]

Your sense of humor is dark and amazing. I love it, brother! I’m a veteran, and an engineer. Cutting up is like a time machine, lol.

[@pete5534]

Thank you this video, and of course your thoughtful wishes for the future.

[@juliettemajot9776]

Peace be with you. And sincere thanks for your thoughtfulness and artistry. I am not a watchmaker, nor craftsperson. Your videos always sing of hope somehow--perhaps because you find a way to put so many things together--with such intention...

[@mobrien7128]

A beautiful restoration and beautiful prayers at the conclusion. It is a tradition among the ancient Christians that work itself is a powerful form of prayer. Happy holidays to you and your family.

[@Gary-oh5vw]

I love the wish list comments and like you, I live in hope for humanity. God bless you x

[@markcarr2757]

That's a CLASSIC design for a reason! Love the channel.

[@jawadkhalil5110]

Keep it up Joe, keep raising your voice for the oppressed.

[@alanguzowski6355]

May the Lord free Gaza from Hamas

[@timeast4644]

What a lovely gift. Merry Christmas!

[@spudmurphy764]

Call yourself a watchmaker? Magician more like! Couldn't believe what I was seeing - fantastic skill you have there- wonderful work 🥰.

[@JammyDodger45]

Isn't it always great to get an unexpected and early Christmas present! Thank you Mr Nekkid. One Love

[@MaxiMaxLondon]

Merry Christmas! We need more people like you in this world!

[@ZosoHacker]

BEST channel (and father) on KZbin. Happy holidays ole bean. 🥰

[@DashDrones]

Happy Christmas, needed something cheerful to 'watch'

[@alisonburgess345]

What a beautiful watch - and what a beautiful message.

[@cmb1972]

Another excellent refurb and video, love the music and the new cuff! Peace to you and yours.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Meri Kirihimete (Merry Christmas) to you, your family & also to all the subs. All the very best for you all in 2024. Thank you for all your hard mahi (work) that you do in your videos of filming & editing, showing how the repairs are done. 🙂 NZ*

[@StefanMarjoram]

Happy Christmas - thanks so much for the entertaining films and thoughtful messages. Sadly, there is no great watchmaker in the sky who can magically restore everything - but if enough of us try to fix the bits we can around us we’ll get ourselves to a better place again.

[@brad9529]

The burnishing method is really cool, I've learnt some really cool things from your channel, thanks. You continue to be the best.

[@natashacutmore7005]

Another beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your wonderful messages of peace!

[@dodgydruid]

As it happens, yesterday I received a 1970's Limit in a curvy TV shape with a gold plate case and the case plating is not worn but does need a spruce, cheers Joe for the way to do this :D

[@Geeraffe]

Nothing beats a tank on Christmas morning and a nekkid video watch - cheers and all the best 🙏🙏

[@bhagmeister]

Your thinking and approach are sound and wonderful. Even as it applies to watch restoration. Wishing you and family only the best.

[@Miss_Toots]

Yey! Merry Christmas to a nekkid fans and Mr Nekkid himself ! Xx

[@philgallagher1]

Well, Joe another scrap watch brought back to life as a beautiful timepiece. Your skill is again self evident and your heart & soul are in the right place. I appreciate that this is clearly not a political channel, but the issues facing the world right now affect us all. Your comments are thoughtful, thought provoking and spot on. Keep well my friend, and let's hope for a more peaceful time in the (hopefully not too distant) future. PS I'll even accept your singing, but don't try to get "trouble" involved!

[@paulketchupwitheverything767]

interesting and unusual to see a quartz restoration instead of your typical automatic or mechanical work. That's the first time I've seen an agate burnisher demonstrated and I didn't know it could be used for that. Thank you.

[@Justicesdad]

Rumor has it that I learned of the tank from you and never forgot about it, Cartier sunglasses is the only thing I wear to look at my tanks

[@satpar415]

Your effin awesomeness, I don't even know you, but I truly appreciate you

[@slaphead2965]

A word for the World 🕊️ ...and another great restoration! Thanks 👍

[@jlb8809]

Stunning work. Best wishes for 2024 and enjoy the holidays.

[@YouGuessedit1]

As usual very tactful and diplomatic commentary, all the best to you and family ❤

[@pablofierros3312]

What a wonderful present for Christmas you have given us. All the best to you and your listeners. Thank you for a unique restoration.

[@kennethphipps6561]

Another amazing job. I hope you had an amazing holiday filled with peace, love, and family. God bless you and your family in the coming new year.

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

Hi joe welcome back mate hope your fine and well.

[@rebelbelle62]

Hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas. I love to watch you bring life and beauty to ruined finery. Thank you for your videos.

[@freqenc]

Don't know any parents that patient with their kids. Plus it's a watch maker enthusiasts' ASMR. I'm customizing my first automatic watch. I'm so glad I subbed. Happy Holidays!

[@waltermeerschaert]

All the best to you and yours. Many thanks for the hours of entertaining horological de/re-constructions. I will never pick up the tweezers myself, but it is extremely engaging to watch.

[@paulhiggins8774]

Well said young man. Never seen burnishing done before and what a lovely finish. Outstanding job as always Merry Christmas

[@kenc2257]

That agate stone(?) worked a miracle. Wishing you Peace for this coming New Year.

[@murphyr31]

You are absolutely one of if not my favorite KZbin personalities. Happy New Year to you and your sweet family Nekkid Watchmaker from the Murphy family in Augusta Georgia 🇺🇸

[@ronaldspencer547]

Well done. My chase Durer quartz watch always gets a new eta movement when I send it to be fixed. Glad they designed it with that movement since the company went out of business.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

Happy tidings to my favorite watch maker.

[@turtuhl]

Thank you for the video, it made my Christmas Eve. Peace be with you and yours.
