​@@physics77guy ultimately those Memories that You can't Help but post a Huge smile on Your Face every time You think of them are the best "Gifts" for Me, I keep some trinkets For that exact reason, sorry to hear about the watch though, it would have been cool to have had restored, but such is life, at least You have Your Memories, everything else can be taken, and by the time Memory starts to Fail us?... Well ... Other things will fill our minds... 😂 How about trying to find one the same... Or similar, and try to keep it as long as possible, build up the same "love" He had for it.. may not be the SAME watch but You can still build a good relationship with it.

Now, 18 months later I have about 70 mechanical watches from the 1930s to the 1970s, was able to repair many of them and enjoy it very much!! Thank you Joe for your great videos, your explanation, your love for old watches and the kind way, you explain everything!

An I have to say it’s never had a service in its life , so that must say something for the quality . Love your channel and am totally fascinated by your work , Best wishes as always

I haven't worn a watch for 25 years and have no interest in doing so. Notwithstanding, I am astounded by the quality of engineering to produce such tiny timepieces which date back over 400 years. How on earth did they do that back then? Mind boggling stuff. I take my hat off to such skilled watchmakers such as yourself who share the processes to the uninitiated with other skills including first rate photography, editing, narration and humour.

Ciao my friend, I have been following you for some time now and you never cease to amaze the skills you have as a watchmaker, you bring to life the discarded and unloved… you bring about your passion for the exceptional work you carry out and I must say how proud I am to here you chant indiscriminately the plight of the Palestinians and the world as a hold…. Yes we have become complacent and trend to not recognise the world about us, but the kind gesture you offer lifts our hearts and hope we engage in making the world a better place… Take care and thanks again for all of you posts and input🙏

Joe, another great video. Scanned through the comments and so many of us have similar situations/motivations. I found your channel way back when looking at my late father's Bulova. It's a late 50s/early 60s model and hasn't worked since the late 70s. I know I could never repair it myself but was interested in seeing what was involved, and after a couple of videos, I worry about bringing it to a place that can actually get it back in working order. That was around 3 years ago. Boy has your channel grown. Closing in on 300K. Congratulations! It's easy to see from the comments why this is, but just let me add that I also like the background you give about the history of the watch or company. Your relaxed and positive attitude defintely are a soothing balm to people's rough days. Keep it up, Joe.

@NekkidWatchmaker I am working on an ETA 2836 Rotary at the moment. It had lots of missing or busted parts found, most of them, i even invested in some lubeta v105. Keep up the good work. It's nice to see your videos are back.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video. I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video. Thanks again for making such a great video! I look forward to watching more of your content in the future. PS: I outsourced this feedback to AI.

I have zero interest in watches and only own a cheap digital one to see the time in the bedroom at night, but I do love this channel, the calmness is very good for me and I do like to see the transformation of even the most basic watches you show us.

I only have minimal/basic repair kit .. No polishers, No Cleaning devices, No watch-accuracy measuring device. I love watching your videos NW & seeing the care you take restoring these magic instruments towards their original glory. I have a tinker on occasion with my kit, but I'm now thinking about investing a liitle more, prompted by your invitation. I gauge that a cleaning device is probably the 1st piece of capital outlay to take me to the next level, but I'm not quite ready. Think I might need to budget some time & money before I take the leap. Baby steps, but thanks for pointing the way .. ⌚🐏

I just inherited a Rotary 17 jewel with a date complication Schild hand wind movement. I have just had the cracked hesalite crystal replaced with a clean ,lubricate and adjust service. I love tha gold plated cushion case. My favourite daily wearer. Cant beat a Swiss watch with history.
