Why not? We need real masters all the time. Capitalism has killed masterhood last years. "Masters" only change battery or the belt. But this is real MASTER
If I worked at Casio, I would send you two Certificates. One a "Certificate of Accomplishment", for doing something that was never meant to be done. And one a "Certificate of Foolishment" for doing something that was never meant to be done. Outstanding work, as always! 😎👍
😳😳 mate seriously, you have the patience of a saint, you went way above and beyond the norm to show us all something we’ll probably never see again. I admire your dedication to your craft and to bringing us all this amazing channel. It’s been a pleasure to watch as always.
Mr Nekkid, you bloes me off and i like that you take your time to do some battery watches to! Ewery day after work i watch one or to of your great wideos. Wish i was young again but...! Always a pleasure to hear your soft war and comfortably woice and also you kid come and help you or trouble you. You are the best i found. Thanks Terje
Really, really, enjoy your commentary during the videos. And “Trouble” the “little Watchmakers Apprentice” adds to the enjoyment. Please keep it up and we wishful watchmakers will keep enjoying your content.
I have an ECB500 Edifice and this just gave me way more appreciation for what has essentially been a “beater” watch for me. This is glorious. What a craftsman! But more so, amazing micro engineering and ingenuity that goes into these mini miracles. Put tighter, truly fascinating video
I wonder if Casio will ever see this and say “That is not how it is done! Just order the parts from us.” Awesome job of doing what is not suppose to be done.
These Quartz/digi hybrid are as engineering intensive as an automatic movement. As a mechanical design engineer I really appreciate these relatively cheap Casio masterpieces.
I’m like a kid going to the baseball game for the first time when you Start your warm ups.Every move you make is effortless and I think I hear music when your hands perform its rituals over the watch parts. You are the star of this game.
Anyone else want to dive into the boxes and boxes of “spares” Joe has and then just choose one and get Joe to restore that? He must have some absolute treasures in those boxes waiting his time and skill. I would be like a kid in a sweet shop!
Your ability to educate and entertain is priceless,just like a science teacher that makes learning fun. Your content has given me almost enough knowledge to reassemble the watches I've disassembled into neatly organized piles of frustration. Look forward to each new video. Take care sentient being .
I'm looking forwards to when his son comes of age. When he is about 5 and starts repairing things. I'll trust him with my clockwork train set and an old alarm clock that I have Since I thought of this first, you lot, can form a queue behind me.
Must admit I thought for a minute you will dump that when the springs came out. But forgot that you will sort it one way or another. Love the WTF JOE bit by the way. Made me laugh. Wonderful job & it has now made me in the market for that watch. Cheers.
I think 30 years ago I (perhaps) could disassemble this watch. I know I could never put one together. This was the definition of the word talent. Amazing!
I have an old Lorus that runs well enough, but is beat up with scratched and chipped mineral glass, scratches in the case and bracelet etc, but it was a gift from my mam on my 30'th birthday, almost 20 years ago now. She passed away recently. It's worthless in terms of money, but means more to me than any watch I own or will ever own.
I don't mind if the new microphone is better or not. I don't mind what you do with the impossibly complex watch. I just love the wonderful commentary, the relaxed humor and the pleasure in your voice as you do what you enjoy. And love the kids in the background.
Wow, I've now got a new appreciation for quartz watches. Another masterful job Nekkid, I'm in awe of your skill and the care you take. God bless you and your family.
Brilliant as always, don’t worry about not responding to people. You can’t do everything. I for one just appreciate the skill and work you put into your videos. Peace love and light to you.
People like to disregard quartz movements, and yeah maybe having almost everything made of plastic isn't so hot, but still I found myself very appreciative of the amount of design and complication in this. It's surprisingly captivating. We like to think "Yeah it's all a battery and a computer", but when you see it disassembled like this, it really is obvious how much design went into it.
Exactly my thoughts! Having owned, wrecked and disassembled many a cheap digital watch in the 80's, this is exactly my attitude to quartz movements. 3 pieces of plastic and a battery.
And don't forget the engineering that went into the firmware that runs on the 'computer'. It wouldn't surprise me if it's just a one instruction CPU that has to keep track of all the used program cycles itself to keep the time. If that's the case, it's very impressive that all the features work, while keeping the time, on such a simple chip.
After watching your videos I finally plucked up the courage and set about fixing an old watch of mine I had in a drawer. Carefully I removed the strap and back and removed the winder. With a bit of patience I removed the mechanism from the watch case where it fell in to multiple pieces. From this I put the aforementioned pieces into a clear seal bag and put it all back in the drawer and went and cut the grass and cleaned the car.
What a tribute to your skills and patience. That was a real test which you passed with flying colors. It reminds me of the man who, walking down the street, saw a fellow beating his head against a stone wall. "Why are you doing that/" he asked. "IT feels so good when I stop", was the reply. That watch wasn't quite a stone wall, but repairing mechanical ones will probably seem less taxing. Your son is going to be awesome as he grows up and learns just how lucky he is to have you as a dad. The microphone was a bit quirky but not too bad. Cheers, Frederick "Rik" Spector
I am really depressed these couple of months and it is getting to me slowly day after day. I love watching your videos, keeps my mind off of things. I hope to be a watchmaker in my next life. thank you for entertaining me always.
That was one of the best watch repair videos I’ve seen. When you see it being stripped down, you realize that it’s an electronic marvel. Casio is a highly under-rated watch company. I will always have one or two of them in my collection because they work so well, and are very durable. I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.
Joe, of all the watch repair channels on TH-cam, yours is my favorite! I enjoy your easy demeanor and repertoire, and I also enjoy the banter between you and "little Joe" (your apprentice Master Watchmaker). I'm going to buy a Chinese clone of an ETA movement pocket watch and the basic tool compliment for watch repair, and I'm going to take Marks watch repair course (Watch Repair Channel), and see what happens. I've been fascinated with mechanical watches since 1966, when I received a Timex mechanical watch for my sixth birthday. I have a small collection of mechanical watches, both pocket watches and wristwatches, and I have a small box of vintage non working mechanical watches that belonged to my grandparents and father. These will keep me busy for a long time! I was thoroughly impressed with your skills and expertise in taking this very complex watch apart and putting it back together again. Three cheers for Joe..... Hip Hip HooRah.... Hip Hip HooRah.....Hip Hip HooRah! It was quite a journey, way too many springs and o-rings for me to keep track of. Great work, Joe, and the microphone had better volume than the old one, but it's looks like it can overdrive easily. I hope that the motorcyclists wasn't hurt too badly in the crash. I've been a riding a motorbike for forty years, and I haven't crashed yet, but I have had countless close calls that got my pulse beating faster, and made me wonder why I risk everything by commuting on two wheels.
This was a very scary disassembly. So many springs and parts. Gives you a new appreciation for the humble Casio brand. Another job well done mighty watchmaker! Fun to watch this video too.
Who would strip down a watch like this? Can this be a task for a master watch maker? After this video it is most certain than only someone who really cares is able to do such an amazing overhaul. Nekkid Watchmaker, best watch-channel by far and worldclass entertainment.
Thank you, watch wizard. I really enjoyed this repair. I'm just checking back through the occasional video that slipped through the net,and found this one. I apologise for not watching it as soon as it was released. I'll try to ensure that I don't miss any others.
Thanks for using your valuable time to fully disassemble this module and show us just how intricate and fragile the tiny bits are and how they all function together. Most "normal" people would just throw this type of watch in the bin and buy a new one! You're awesome!
my 'daily driver' is a black case, black dial casio lineage, solar, radio-controlled, five alarms, chrono, multiple timezones, countdown timer, three analogue hands & an LCD, waterproof to a thousand fathoms or whatever, weights about 4.5oz I think I paid £200. so when I saw you pull the breitling to bits, I was (I'm afraid to say) a bit "huh." the casio even looks better. now we can see that the standard of engineering inside the average 'cheap' casio is every bit as good too. excellent work, sir.
That was the first time which I saw the Edifice's inside completely torn apart and believe me I loved it. Yes, I do agree with you, we should not compare these kinds of movements with Swiss mechanical ones. I really appreciate Japanese digital technologies which are combined with mechanical parts. I have 11 Casio watches like Sheen, Protrek, Gshock, Edifice, Forester & ..... . All of them are spectacular & working perfectly. Casio has a great heritage and don't foget it's an affordable brand of timepiece. I'd been teaching for 19 years & I love to learn or experience sth new and thank you so much for that. Be well & I'm sending you my best regards. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
It's 00:06 and I'm in my bed, ready to sleep and then the Nekkid Watchmaker posts a video......... sleep can wait (and the elbow in the ribs from my accountant will have to be endured!) good audio, I can even hear you over "her indoors" telling me to turn the light out!
@Nekkid Watchmaker, I've finished watching and she's snoring like a battleship fog horn..... that was worth every elbow in my ribs. The one thing that really enjoy about your content, Nekkid, is that you're willing and able to disassemble, clean and reassemble an "ordinary everyday watch!" We can all see Rolex, Omegas, Patek Philippe, Breitling, TAG Heuer or even a Vacheron Constantin being serviced but how many of us own these watches? It's a pleasure watching you work and I certainly admire your skills. Now time to sleep! 😴👍🇬🇧👍
@@velviaman3206 screens emit photons in the form of light to transmit the data they show to our eyeballs, i assume this is the light the accountant mentioned ;)
Watching too many swiss luxury watches and their servicing/repair videos I had lost complete regard for Casio/ G Shock & Edifice! This video has restored my respect for Casio! I bet if the Swiss, Germans or French made this tiny marvel! They would have found a way, and funded its marketing dept in such a way that these would sell close to rolexes too! Pretty cool stuff there! Hats off to ur patience and precise hands! Wowzer!
You went above and beyond with this watch teardown. I have an almost identical one and was wondering how it's put together. Now I know. Excellent job and nice spelling out of a message to JOE.
I've seen everyone single of your videos. I like so much your way to explaine your work (no comments on the mic today!!), I love your child so much and I' really impressed with your skills!!!!! All the best, Nicola from Italy
Hat's off to Casio for managing to mass produce something like that. The precision and tolerances involved in manufacturing that watch would make most average mechanical movements look like steam engines in comparison. Quartz watches like that deserve more respect. They are every bit as complicated as a mechanical watch, a lot more accurate and definitely more affordable .
I just loved this one Nekkid! I am mesmerized by the detail of every part you disassembled. Do more of these really detailed ones. All of rhem are detailed but some are just that much more. Very very soothing and satisfying. Thank you! Ta Ta!
I love your videos and your enthusiasm. It is almost unbelievable that someone with the skill to restore a vintage Cartier would tear down a damaged Casio just for the experience of doing it. And when you took the quartz movement down to bare components, you put yourself on another level. Surely the Great watchmaker in the sky smiles down on you.
What can i say you just used your incredible master skills to clean and repair an awsome watch...something i can only wish to obtain in this lifetime...well done dude
I’m simply amazed when I consider that a watch like this was mass produced! How on earth did they assemble these watches??? Once again...remarkable work!
How dare you assume my atoms hahaha! The Casio Edifice line is sorely underrated! Nevermind the sound your personality makes up for any sound issues! Its extraordinary the amount of complexity these watches have!
Hello dear watchmaker. Greetings from Costa Rica. As usual you leave me speachless. Always love the interaction with your boy jeje. I hope you keep bringing joy to all us with your wonder ful skils. May God keep you all safe.
Wow! With all those tiny parts and screws and springs, plus the small size of the movement itself, this Casio quartz looks a lot more difficult to take apart and reassemble than most mechanical watches. Nicely done!
Crazy... Already nearly 900 views in 18 minutes .Wow..👏👏👏. Apart from your obvious amazing expertise and skill , it must also be the Brummy dulcet tone that you have and your hint of sarcasm and dry wit.👍Congratulations...👏👏👏
If working on one of these quartz calibers doesn't scare you, nothing ever will. Must be very educational when you're a beginner (maybe on a less over-engineered model first). Well done once again Joe.
This is true mastery of your skill. It's easier to work on bigger metal part's, but this ....... I lose my mind around 9 min in to video. All respect !!!
I imagine you in the evening, when all the Casio multioperation watches are repaired, preforming self flagellation as there are no further watches this day to torture you sufficiently. Today was a day for us both, as I repair cell phones when I am bored, I have one that the battery was glued in extra well from the factory so that as the battery pulled the glue apart, it held on to the ribbon cable for the LCD screen destroying the screen. Awesome stuff! Thank you for the ride along to find out how poorly and at the same time well made these watches actually are! Thanks for the fun commentary and the look into the life of the assistant and the accountant and BTW if you gold plated the video, had Carnegie hall as an operations platform for sound, someone, as keyboard warriors are apt to do, could do it better with this or that microphone, camera, lighting, assistant or accountant. Be at peace man and just know you provide quality videos, filled with information, entertainment, a dash of psychology and love and some of the tired masses actually enjoy it.
An electrician friend once told me to “ buy a durable watch you won’t cry over if you break it” . I think he was thinking of the watch you just serviced. Seems like it is durable enough and in certain circumstances durable and inexpensive makes sense.
Many can't even dismantle and assemble a IKEA furniture without f**k thing up, have parts left or misplace them so they will never be found again! I have been working as a goldsmith for many years, but this is on another level when it comes to handling small parts! Well done, a great job!
Once again a wonderful repair so that the watch looks as good as new. I think it takes experience to be able to undertake such a repair. Well done to you and your apprentice.
I appreciate the effort on an inexpensive watch, if only for our entertainment. I can’t imagine the patience and dexterity to completely disassemble and reassemble such a tedious mechanism. Respect, sir.
I love that you are impartial when it comes to a watch in need. It matters not if it is an expensive watch or an inexpensive watch each one deserves our respect.
Absolutely amazing, my fellow human being! What a crazy teardown! Didn't quite catch where all those springs went, but man! What a job well done 👍👍 And as always, thank you and God Bless 🙏
I'm not sure the accountant actually pays Joe. He is way too chilled to be concerned about mere money. But accountants are accountants so he is probably forced to charge money for what he would happily do for free!
Brilliant, you should contact Casio, and ask for a tour of their facilities, it would be interesting to see how they do this. But I can bet its not as much fun as watching you do it. You have inspired me to go out and fix my lawnmower, at least I can see the parts. I'll make a video of me buying a new one from B&Q when I mess it up. LOL
@@MacMizuxo Definitely not an inexpensive watch to most of us. I think people see “Casio” and just write it off as cheap, but I can’t really blame anyone for thinking that. I will say that plastic gears don’t belong in a $300 watch though.
@@MrCumstein plastic gears (nylon) are totally fine in quartz powered movements because they are loaded very less as compared to the constant tension in Mechanical/Automatic watches. That's the same reason why quartz watches can be very reliable even without jewel bearings but even the cheapest mechanical watches need jewel bearings.
I enjoy watching taking apart of a watch cleaning it and fixing it. And put it back together. I think you do a wonderful job. Now he's entertaining but is this an education. And God bless you.
Truly love your channel! It’s fascinating work and something I wish I could do. The reward of being able to restore these pieces from start to finish would be amazing... thank you for the content and for your wisdom I love your sense of humor lol. Hope you are having a great day!
I find it very satisfying to watch your methodical disassemble and the assembly of these time pieces. Your skill is amazing. If you are not doing so I think you should sign the inside of the case.
I bought a lige sport watch , 20 quid job. It tells the time in digital and analogue but the hands were near impossible to see. so i thought iv watched joe do his thing so set about my watch to sort it. one thing i never grassped was how delicate and fragile these parts are. I'm talking 1 layer of paint deep is enough to hassle the watch hands. Yea, got it all back together but was on the ropes a couple of times in the process... now I'm seeing half a sec lag on hands to the digi readout, at least I can see them now. lesson learnt. I'm to old to see btw...Joe I don't know how you remember all those parts it sure is mind boggling.. Props to Brummy land..
How in god's grace did you manage to disassemble and reassemble that with out the full instructions. It took me 6 hours to put together a chest of drawers from IKEA and still had screw's over with the instructions.
Braver man than me! I think I could have managed he strip. I have rebuilt engines with less parts. I have never thought about watches until your I watched you work. Love the content and the commentary
Bravo! Really impressive indeed. Tell you accountant that without that new expensive macro lens this video would not have been possible. Incredible detail and well worth the investment.
There are still people in this world that still fix things. Amen.

Watching too many swiss luxury watches and their servicing/repair videos I had lost complete regard for Casio/ G Shock & Edifice! This video has restored my respect for Casio! I bet if the Swiss, Germans or French made this tiny marvel! They would have found a way, and funded its marketing dept in such a way that these would sell close to rolexes too! Pretty cool stuff there! Hats off to ur patience and precise hands! Wowzer!
Thanks mate
"-I'm not trouble anymore" Lovely!
You went above and beyond with this watch teardown. I have an almost identical one and was wondering how it's put together. Now I know.
Excellent job and nice spelling out of a message to JOE.
Never thought I see a Casio here but what a watch! And some serious skills you have!
I've seen everyone single of your videos. I like so much your way to explaine your work (no comments on the mic today!!), I love your child so much and I' really impressed with your skills!!!!! All the best, Nicola from Italy
Thanks Nicola
Hat's off to Casio for managing to mass produce something like that. The precision and tolerances involved in manufacturing that watch would make most average mechanical movements look like steam engines in comparison.
Quartz watches like that deserve more respect. They are every bit as complicated as a mechanical watch, a lot more accurate and definitely more affordable .
Well said mate
One word comes to mind whenever I watch your videos. Gifted and talented. I guess two words come to mind.
I just loved this one Nekkid! I am mesmerized by the detail of every part you disassembled. Do more of these really detailed ones. All of rhem are detailed but some are just that much more. Very very soothing and satisfying. Thank you! Ta Ta!
Just divine ! This post should become famous and an all-time classic of perseverance and human ingenuity
I love your videos and your enthusiasm. It is almost unbelievable that someone with the skill to restore a vintage Cartier would tear down a damaged Casio just for the experience of doing it. And when you took the quartz movement down to bare components, you put yourself on another level. Surely the Great watchmaker in the sky smiles down on you.
What can i say you just used your incredible master skills to clean and repair an awsome watch...something i can only wish to obtain in this lifetime...well done dude
Thanks Kevin. Keep trying mate and you’ll get there. Have faith
I’m simply amazed when I consider that a watch like this was mass produced! How on earth did they assemble these watches???
Once again...remarkable work!
How dare you assume my atoms hahaha! The Casio Edifice line is sorely underrated! Nevermind the sound your personality makes up for any sound issues! Its extraordinary the amount of complexity these watches have!
Hello dear watchmaker. Greetings from Costa Rica. As usual you leave me speachless. Always love the interaction with your boy jeje. I hope you keep bringing joy to all us with your wonder ful skils. May God keep you all safe.
Thanks mate, god bless you and your family
Nothing short of amazing, I love when you work on quartz watches, they are my favorite ... yeah I know... but we all have our quirks
Love the wtf joe. Also would have pat my shants when all the springs fell out!
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 me too!!!
Wow! With all those tiny parts and screws and springs, plus the small size of the movement itself, this Casio quartz looks a lot more difficult to take apart and reassemble than most mechanical watches. Nicely done!
Crazy... Already nearly 900 views in 18 minutes .Wow..👏👏👏.
Apart from your obvious amazing expertise and skill , it must also be the Brummy dulcet tone that you have and your hint of sarcasm and dry wit.👍Congratulations...👏👏👏
If working on one of these quartz calibers doesn't scare you, nothing ever will. Must be very educational when you're a beginner (maybe on a less over-engineered model first).
Well done once again Joe.
you sound like a good father and human being. Oh ya very talented too.
Thanks Michael
This is true mastery of your skill. It's easier to work on bigger metal part's, but this ....... I lose my mind around 9 min in to video. All respect !!!
A repair guy with a sarcastic streak. I'm in.
I imagine you in the evening, when all the Casio multioperation watches are repaired, preforming self flagellation as there are no further watches this day to torture you sufficiently. Today was a day for us both, as I repair cell phones when I am bored, I have one that the battery was glued in extra well from the factory so that as the battery pulled the glue apart, it held on to the ribbon cable for the LCD screen destroying the screen. Awesome stuff!
Thank you for the ride along to find out how poorly and at the same time well made these watches actually are!
Thanks for the fun commentary and the look into the life of the assistant and the accountant and BTW if you gold plated the video, had Carnegie hall as an operations platform for sound, someone, as keyboard warriors are apt to do, could do it better with this or that microphone, camera, lighting, assistant or accountant. Be at peace man and just know you provide quality videos, filled with information, entertainment, a dash of psychology and love and some of the tired masses actually enjoy it.
How do they actually manage to mass produce such an intricate movement. You have to appreciate it for that alone.
@doons403 humans probably don't even do that.
@doons403 But humans built and programmed the robot or predecessor so it’s still a technological marvel.
@doons403 I would guarantee you these are assembled by hand to a great extent
They have lots of people assembling small intricate parts - supervised by a few people with big sticks and knives!
@doons403 but who produces the boxes?
I love it when you step outside your comfort zone a bit with a quartz watch. Nice to see a good brand like Casio get some attention. Thank you
An electrician friend once told me to “ buy a durable watch you won’t cry over if you break it” . I think he was thinking of the watch you just serviced. Seems like it is durable enough and in certain circumstances durable and inexpensive makes sense.
Joe grieves for all the watches he can't save im sure!
Many can't even dismantle and assemble a IKEA furniture without f**k thing up, have parts left or misplace them so they will never be found again!
I have been working as a goldsmith for many years, but this is on another level when it comes to handling small parts!
Well done, a great job!
Once again a wonderful repair so that the watch looks as good as new. I think it takes experience to be able to undertake such a repair.
Well done to you and your apprentice.
Thanks Rory
I appreciate the effort on an inexpensive watch, if only for our entertainment. I can’t imagine the patience and dexterity to completely disassemble and reassemble such a tedious mechanism. Respect, sir.
Thanks mate
"so many springs, I don't even know where they go" I lost it 😂
That SIR was a picture no artist could ever paint. Absolute Respect.
Thank you for the pleasure your videos bring to all your fans.
Thanks Phil
Not only are you a great watchmaker, you’re funny as hell!
I love that you are impartial when it comes to a watch in need. It matters not if it is an expensive watch or an inexpensive watch each one deserves our respect.
Now thank you so very much. I am beginning to appreciate Quartz watches.
Your welcome Pablo
I have never considered buying a Casio... until now. Casio should be using your video to advertise their watches. Cheers from Australia.
Thanks Christopher
The first minute's audio was heavenly -- I could actually hear you very well! Please continue using it!
Lol
It's like a watch from another planet.
There is a lot of stuff packed there, I have to take my hat off on Casio.
Absolutely amazing, my fellow human being! What a crazy teardown! Didn't quite catch where all those springs went, but man! What a job well done 👍👍
And as always, thank you and God Bless 🙏
Each restoration is a piece of art in its own right.
You are an artist at his finest.
As a real casio lunatic, i thank you for saving this baby‘s life ❤
I really love to watch and hear you work. Great job!
That was amazing. You opening a Casio watch, so all of us can see what is inside it. Thank you so much. Great video.
As usual, entertaining, educational artistry! Keep these wonderful videos coming!
Thanks mate
You are such a craftsman. Even an old Casio gets love, amazing.
Thanks mate
"WTF JOE" 😊 you earned your pay on this one...
lol
I'm not sure the accountant actually pays Joe. He is way too chilled to be concerned about mere money. But accountants are accountants so he is probably forced to charge money for what he would happily do for free!
Brilliant, you should contact Casio, and ask for a tour of their facilities, it would be interesting to see how they do this. But I can bet its not as much fun as watching you do it. You have inspired me to go out and fix my lawnmower, at least I can see the parts. I'll make a video of me buying a new one from B&Q when I mess it up. LOL
The award for “most work put into a inexpensive watch” goes to...
Lol
@@NekkidWatchmaker
What is the description of the polishing discs you used, the first and the matte?
@@MacMizuxo Definitely not an inexpensive watch to most of us. I think people see “Casio” and just write it off as cheap, but I can’t really blame anyone for thinking that.
I will say that plastic gears don’t belong in a $300 watch though.
You are thinking only in terms of money. People might have a deep emotional attachment to the object you find inexpensive.
@@MrCumstein plastic gears (nylon) are totally fine in quartz powered movements because they are loaded very less as compared to the constant tension in Mechanical/Automatic watches. That's the same reason why quartz watches can be very reliable even without jewel bearings but even the cheapest mechanical watches need jewel bearings.
I enjoy watching taking apart of a watch cleaning it and fixing it. And put it back together. I think you do a wonderful job. Now he's entertaining but is this an education. And God bless you.
Thanks david and god bless mate
Truly love your channel! It’s fascinating work and something I wish I could do. The reward of being able to restore these pieces from start to finish would be amazing... thank you for the content and for your wisdom I love your sense of humor lol. Hope you are having a great day!
Thanks Jacob. If you wish to do it then give it a try
I find it very satisfying to watch your methodical disassemble and the assembly of these time pieces. Your skill is amazing. If you are not doing so I think you should sign the inside of the case.
Oh! Take care of your magic fingers, they're uniques. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina
I bought a lige sport watch , 20 quid job. It tells the time in digital and analogue but the hands were near impossible to see. so i thought iv watched joe do his thing so set about my watch to sort it. one thing i never grassped was how delicate and fragile these parts are. I'm talking 1 layer of paint deep is enough to hassle the watch hands. Yea, got it all back together but was on the ropes a couple of times in the process... now I'm seeing half a sec lag on hands to the digi readout, at least I can see them now. lesson learnt. I'm to old to see btw...Joe I don't know how you remember all those parts it sure is mind boggling.. Props to Brummy land..
Thank you. Nice to hear about your little adventure in to tinkering.
How in god's grace did you manage to disassemble and reassemble that with out the full instructions. It took me 6 hours to put together a chest of drawers from IKEA and still had screw's over with the instructions.
Thats about my technical limit too!! 😂😂😂👍 Well said!
Wow. Great work. It fascinates me how much parts there are inside these Casio Analog Digitals. Thanks for showing us the process.
@9m30s: "WTF JOE" Comedy !!
Braver man than me! I think I could have managed he strip. I have rebuilt engines with less parts.
I have never thought about watches until your I watched you work. Love the content and the commentary
"Quartz movements are less complex than mechanical movements"
The Quartz movements:
Mechanical movement... hold my beer.
@@Jpjc474 Grand Seiko... hold my Sake ;-)
I am agree with you, mechanical Watches are complex, easier Watches quartz

Bravo! Really impressive indeed. Tell you accountant that without that new expensive macro lens this video would not have been possible. Incredible detail and well worth the investment.
Thanks Marc
