I love that you at least try to save so many pieces that others wouldn't and the skill you demonstrate restoring the unrestorable!

[@justpassnthru]

A short N.W. video is better than NO N.W. video. You are truly an artist. Thank-You for sharing your art with us.

[@Buddha-bei-die-Fische]

I really do enjoy your narration, both the professional AND the humor.

[@dibdias1]

Always a pleasure to watch your work! Perfect!

[@davemarten280]

Thank you Sir for your great videos. I had a Seiko NH35 with a scratch on the rotor, and the watch has a see-through case back. I removed it and used your technique by putting new straight grain on it using an abrasive pad on a block of wood. Looks great now and is back on and working great. I'm learning from the master!💚

[@Bajatrvlr]

I absolutely love your work/videos and this one is why I keep coming back.

[@NJAY104]

I’m very much an amateur but just managed to replace an Omega 1471 with an ETA 288.002.. would never had tried without the inspiration of your videos… many thanks 🙏

[@frankieb2784]

I admit that I love the case and parts restoration.. like when you made the tiny screws! Hey, I thought you were singing again, then realized you sped up the sound😊very best brother! Frank

[@adelheidsnel5171]

can't wait for the full tour, but this was a very much and long craved appetizer! thanks Joe!

[@keileung6847]

Hello Because I ❤ your channels. I remember the black super oris. I bought a 671 kif. Inspired by you I restored it which took months to learn this calibre. I have now sold it online. Now I am doing this full-time. Because of your videos. I love my new career. Love from Lancashire

[@karenburrows9184]

No one would believe the before and after shots are of the same part. Magic.

[@brewaz]

Joe your work is always so interesting to watch and learn from. Thank you for continuing to do these videos!

[@tellitlikeitis-rg4ny]

Nice to have you back joe great job , b21 love peace

[@owen-trombone]

Funny, I was just thinking about why no one polishes the movements and this video popped up in my feed. Thank you for the explanation and congrats on your success with those pieces. 😊

[@nauzzer]

I met a watch maker from Birmingham in Texas last week to buy his cleaning machine, small world. Great work.

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Lovely work Joe, please make a series about this one, or the process of restoring parts. There's so much out there that needs help to bring it back to life, and so few Nekkid Watchmakers left: your expertise and passion are a lesson to us all, and this is a great way to ensure your legacy perpetuates. We are all apprentices. Thanks Joe.

[@billmoore9148]

Once again you show us your amazing gift. You sir are a steely eyed watch man! Well wishes to you and the family.

[@singlespeedman]

Thanks!

[@michaelskinner896]

That before picture was just all kinds of nasty. Incredible refinishing, and hope to see the full restoration. I can't imagine letting a watch get into this condition, particularly with a rare movement. So glad you're saving this one.

[@smiling_eyes7903]

Awesome! I love watching you make watches new again. Bravo!! 💖💖💖

[@ccooper8785]

"The teeth were like the tobacco-stained teeth of a villain" Man, I felt that in my soul and I do not even have the excuse of having ever smoked...😱😥😭

[@bullnose01]

If there is a way to make something shiny, shiny again, you'll find it, Joe. Hope you and the family are doing well. Looking forward to the next video.

[@joekanicki5306]

That was fascinating Joe. Your knowledge and skill always impress. Hope you and family are well. Cheers from Texas. Peace ☮️!

[@frankieb2784]

So entertaining and impressive Joe.. I’m learning that when you say: “that’s alright, isn’t it?” It really means: to the Batcave and the lapping machine, plating and the mops!! Love it Joe! Frank in Colorado

[@DoubleVisionSoundSystem]

“But the stains were like the teeth of a tobacco-chewing villain, in a western” LOL!!!! Great video Joe! Love your content, and more importantly, British humour!

[@clairewright8153]

Great job, once again your skills and determination paid off. I bet the owner is very pleased.

[@jatco84]

Wow...what a transformation. Are you kidding...? I'd be estatic to have the rotor look like that vs before.. Kudos to you... Persistance prevails..

[@jasmijndekkers]

You are really a master in watch making and restore. Nice to see. Greetings from a another watchmaker, Steven from the Netherlands

[@sandrasandymanning4354]

It looks like rose gold after you polished it up. Looking good!

[@MAHER_JAKARA]

Great man doing a great job, God bless you and your family, love you brother 🫡❤️

[@johnmoorefilm]

I hear hope in your voice Joe!❤

[@nomebear]

What an amazing transformation. I'm not patient enough for the process, and yet the results are the prize of the skilled and patient one.

[@madr8b]

Great Video. Yes, please do a full video on this. It would be a great to see is reatored or at least brought back to the living. Keep the videos coming.

[@keithmclean3627]

The dove was a sweet touch. Symbolism will be their downfall. Great job on the watch!❤ Always top content from a skilled brother. 😊

[@StephanJPPL]

Always very fascinating to see good craftsmanship. This channel contains large amounts. Very good work. Looking forward to full length video. Thank you !!

[@dolphinlover1691]

Nice to see you again. Interesting vid 💪🏻 thank you.

[@andreacrashe9894]

*Joe, WOW what an amazing transformation to that one part.. awesome job done 🙂nz*

[@WatchRestorationCottage]

That was incredible work Joe. It looked hopeless, but you worked your magic on it! Thanks for sharing that technique.

[@NekkidWatchmaker]

Thanks mate

[@oioionionone]

My Man!! huge thanks for keeping on keeping on

[@carloscanales9686]

Very effective method!! I've been thinking in this for long time, thanks for make it possible!!!

[@colinevans7134]

Just love watching your videos, like messing with quartz watches but love what you do Colin from London England ❤

[@fretlessfender]

This is really nice! Love your video's and your narration!

[@mickg6480]

More of this restoration please. 🙏 A nice break from the usual repair / service videos.

[@73abu]

Thanks Joe master watchmaker for new video... Fantastic...

[@amphibiousone7972]

GYSY Joe🤝 Good Stuff, hope to see more.

[@slammermx]

It's cool to see a movement restoration, down to re-plating.

[@LawrenceButcher]

Cracking work as ever. Need to get me some of that Copper Strike, never thought of that for reviving movement plates.

[@kenc2257]

Nice work...very good result (especially considering the starting point--all that corrosion).

[@ianweniger6620]

Glad to see you and Rachel Corrie!

[@HektorBandimar]

That was a real labour of love, excellent work!

[@russelldavis8415]

Love watching the skill and innovation in action.

[@ingra888]

thanks again Joe for another experimental video!

[@akamran01]

Considering you couldn't even read "AUTO PRINCE" beforehand, I'd say you've done a wonderful job and it's worth every bit of saving that old Tudor. I'd like to watch the full restoration!

[@CharlesThompson-ou7wp]

You never fail to amaze! Keep on keeping on!

[@nnasab]

You done magic, excellent video. Abra, cadabra.😊

[@Trixtrem1974]

thank you for yet another brilliant video, mate!!!

[@desertdog5397]

you do excellent work...all your watches look great after restoring...

[@federicoprice2687]

Very interesting Joe. Peace ✌️ 😊❤

[@hippotek1]

LOving this shirt video... cannot wait for the full one though. TAKE CARE!

[@matthewhill5797]

Good effort Joe! Way better.😊

[@robertkearney7713]

Gentle restoration is always best. Great video.

[@boydsargeant7496]

Looks great Joe! Looking forward to the whole thing!

[@chuckschillingvideos]

Wow. That one has had a hard, hard life. Good call on restoring the rotor. The rotor will necessarily have somewhat looser tolerances than other parts just because it has to clear so many other parts and bridges.

[@hansimuller7494]

As allways, great work ❤

[@UwaseTae]

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the MAMACOO’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

[@Supercruze]

You never cease to amaze me with your watchmaking skills.

[@terencehall814]

Another great skilful video. You are a great technician.

[@robhemsley9181]

That’s incredible mate !

[@NorthBayRepublic]

Short and sweet is still sweet, Joe.

[@chucksimonton2969]

Well done, Joe.

[@stevesutton1991]

Hi Joe, greetings from Australia. You may remember me from some lessons I imparted some lessons in restoring watches ie WD40 and 20/50 engine oil. This brings me to my point today. Although perfectly capable my methods are well proved, I would like to give you the chance to work your magic on my long gone grandmother's watch that is I believe over a 100 years old. It gold and I was told it might be an early Rolex movement. I could think of no one better to do this restoration, I would be truly honoured if you were to take this on..... please From Oz with love.

[@metrotechguru5863]

I didn't expect to find you electro-plating on your channel. Nice one. Cheers.

[@Aussie_Wild_Adventures]

Great effort! Well done

[@iancarnell5020]

Great stuff, look forward to further work being done 👍

[@ferakh]

Inspiring patience and love your work as usual

[@chief9938]

Yet another fabulous job!

[@muhnndr]

Nice work man ❤

[@sarkiskrikorianedrftyt2381]

Nice to see a new video I'm been waiting. I love watches ❤❤

[@philiprogers5772]

I would love to watch more of that.

[@terencehall814]

Brilliant and educational as usual. Thanks

[@motodork]

Always great to see a new video from you.

[@tomturnipseed2541]

Good job, Joe!!

[@eranmazor2322]

[@robertlemoine3500]

Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊

[@kentmckean6795]

Very nice!

[@christophermarshall5765]

Nice job Joe!!

[@chriswilliams7480]

Thanks Joe

[@geoffmarriott4387]

You are a true craftsman

[@juliesoane7399]

Hi Joe, your copper solution is saturated. You could get more dissolved at a higher temperature but this would possibly harm delicate watch parts. A great video as alway. 😊 🤗🍉

[@christophervictoria4776]

Nice work!

[@jennybn]

From the River to the Sea, the Watch will be 'Rust' Free!

[@johnsrabe]

Fun! Thanks, Joe.

[@kinklesstetrode]

Wonderful.

[@tomturnipseed2541]

Looks great, Joe!

[@chrishill1219]

Like having a spoonful of tonic watching you mate..

[@davidwebb3253]

Brilliant as always, thankyou.

[@dougwilliams8602]

Good job

[@brucen4719]

Incredible!

[@mobrien7128]

A beautiful job!

[@danmidkiff5416]

Thanx, Joe!
