Miss the commenting from you during video. That’s the best part. Love your son when he comes in.
During these dark times, I noticed that I missed your voice and commentary which brought some light into the world for me. I appreciate the video like always, just felt a bit sadder not having those parts to look forward to. Thank you for all your hard work, you are a beacon of light amongst lesser men! Never forget that!
WOW as someone who does this as a hobby, I am blown away at your skills and your tools, Lots of skills and thousands in tools. True artist
Your work is wonderful. I also realize I watch your videos because of your charm and commentary.
Yes, a very soothing & relaxing voice I agree :)
Everyone is saying they miss your voice, but no one is asking if you’re okay.
I hope things are well for you and your loved ones. Thank you for ALL your content, keep it coming in whichever format you want.
God bless
I agree with everyone else. Your kind comments and gentle humor is enjoyable and sooooo refreshing. Please give us your voice back! Thanks
But no singing, please.
Outstanding job, never would I have said that was the same watch. Superb effort, keep them come Joe. ❤
In these dark times the sound of your voice brings light and hope, please talk to us again. That said, your silence speaks volumes. Peace.
Missed your kind words and fun humor. Watch restoration was great. We miss your compassionate heart and great wit. Come soon with your old format and a tired watch to resurrect. We always enjoy it. Love from Alabama USA
I dont know which was stronger, the incredible restoration or your silent protest. Amen to them both. Stay strong Joe!
This video gives me hope. Even those beaten up can regain their glory.
Wow! Joe is the only restorer of anything I am subscribed to. The quality of his work is unmatched on TH-cam. A true craftsman and a man of conscience.
Impossible task, Immaculate restoration, amazing skill. Silence is respect, my thoughts are with all those suffering in this cruel world. I pray for peace.😢
I'm a simple man. I see a new Nekkid Watchmaker video, I click, I watch, I like... I'm happy.
It was strange not to hear any of your comments, especially since I am so used to your voice that some of the tools' noises sounded scary and surprising, but I understand and approve your decision. Love you, mate, dont leave us for too long this time !
Hey Joe. I'm sad you've gone silent. I love your videos for the banter and the education. Without them, it falls toward the other ASMR content that I pass right over. I play videos in the background while to do my daily tasks and your lack of audio saddens me. I know the world has gotten you down. There is always a fight to be had against one wrong or another; one disease or another... if we all fell silent in protest, who will be our champions? Find your voice. Some of us need to hear it
Totally agree
His words definitely bring life to the restoration
It is a journey listening to these and learning from you in your dulcet tone. Hopefully we hear you again soon.
I agree. If you have the talent, why hide it? I miss your voice, mate.
Please reconsider. I love hearing your son in the background or how you tease and teach him. You are a positive force in this World.
Joe, you stand for peace, love, and justice. We stand for you, as well as those things. Stay strong.
Nicely said.
Miss your voice Joe, but understand your reasons.
Lovely work as always.
You are a bright spot and a gift to humanity as well as a bright spot in our lives. I'm so sorry you are feeling sadness. We can only do our best to be kind and generous to others. Many blessings to you and everyone!
Respect your protest and your silence speaks volumes but I think your gentle wit and wisdom is greater. Nature, it is said, abhors a vacuum, so if we are silent, that silence will be filled by voices with less good intent than ours.
The resto, was excellent considering the crust you started with.
Best to you and your family.
Thank you for always practicing such kindness, I look forward to a time in the world when you and many like you feel their voice can be heard again.
I once took apart a cheap pocket watch when I was about 10. Never advanced beyond that.
I missed: "Greetings my fellow earthlings ..." and your humor and the laughter of your kids in the back ground. But the job was perfect like always.
No more silent protests. Your comments are also what makes your videos so enjoyable. Keep up the great work 👍
He is silent for very good reasons I like his commentary as well but I understand his actions
I'll join the chorus of those missing your narration, I hope this finds you well and happy.
The bird... That bird behind your cleaning jar... 😍
I think the colors of palastine flag
Quite a dramatic improvement to the case with the nickel plating and the polishing. The case looks brand new.
Watch looks great. I missed your commentary.
Your restoration of that particular watch and your protest , just perfect. Thank you.
great restoration, missed your words though, thanks for the content.
Even in the worst situation , there can be a beautiful outcome , nice resto .
It’s not the same without your lovely commentary. 😊
I love this channel so much. I don’t know the story behind the fact that you’re not narrating your videos anymore, but we all do what we have to do. It won’t stop me watching, that’s for sure.
You are an inspiration to us all while the world is in pain. Let's hope love finds a way. I admire your passion and protests.
Fantastic restoration! As a person with a tremor I find it very relaxing watching your meticulous work.
Beautiful work again Joe. Both the watch and the message. Peace and happiness to you and your family.
Glad to see you posting again. Its the return of an old friend, a little quieter than normal, but know we are about too and are supporting. Hope all is ok
You are a rare positive in a world full of negatives. While I find your skills bordering on superhuman, your patience and love are what make your videos so alluring. You are a role model not just for men, but for all humanity. Peace to you, Joe. ☮
Who are you protesting to? Thank you for spending the timed care, love to you family and watches too. We all need to be like you for peace. Oh look behind you, Trouble sneezing.
Beautiful work as always Mr Nekkid, Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video. God Bless you and God Bless all the people currently suffering due to the ongoing war.
Yeah we miss your words of wisdom!!! ❤
I so miss your beautiful voice and wit. Your son and interactions with him are precious. Even your comments about the world make me feel that others care and art afraid to mention things. Don’t be silent too long. I miss it. XXOO
Joe, may the timeless dove of peace shine down on you, your family and loved ones, and ours as well. Especially thinking of all those immersed in tragedy and loss, who are in desperate need whilst suffering incalculable grief and pain. I write that as just an ordinary ex-military bloke who spent a year in Bosnia at the height of the terrible conflict and dealt with tragedy every single day. Judging by the comments here, I feel we much appreciate your silent mark of respect for humanity, and our sadness for inhumanity. You deal with time, which thanks to your skills, is easy to measure, but impossible to retrieve. But let's all metaphorically click that hacking lever, pause time and dwell on the consequences of our actions, the immense suffering they may cause, and our crying need for that dove of peace with the olive twig in its beak to bring hope. Tempus fugit, so we must not waste it. Thank you Joe for helping us reflect, and for breathing life, beauty and dignity back into that battered old Oris. 🙏 🤲 🤗
You are an amazing human, Joe.
Nice work with the restoration as always and the silent message. Peace
Amazing. You are truly gifted. Peace, brother.
I love how this guys earnestness is reflected in the audience. Absolutely top tier original TH-cam content, a supremely skilled watch wizard and a fantastic bloke to boot. Another fantastic video, sir.
OMG! I feel asleep watching an art restoration and woke up to the watch restoration and thought, "My goodness, he restores art AND watches. What can't he do?" Turns out, that video ended a while ago, and I woke up in the middle of yours. Sorry about that! You are still the best watchmaker.
Absolutely amazing and beautiful.
its really surreal to watch a nekkid watchmaker video with his signature commentary in the background, however I respect your silent protest, and I think its an amazing idea in order to draw more awareness to the situation in Palastine.
Every time I watch one of your vids I find it calming and peaceful and love the work you do
Thank you for another amazing video. It is great to watch experts like you put the hard dedication on TH-cam for our joy.
I loved the "ORIS waterproof" on the dial, combined with the rust inside 💦 😂
Your work is always top notch, but your humanity is even on a higher plane.
Cheers & best wishes for your family both near & far.
In this (mostly) vanity driven ,yt watch world we inhabit,you are a shining light,my friend!Peace and liberation to all living beings!
A watch is a classic example of what the human species should be. We are all different shapes and sizes with different functions but unless we work in harmony, we will never run smoothly if we run at all. You do beautiful work Mate and have a kind heart. Have hope and keep the faith.
Beautiful timepiece, I grew up wearing similar watches but made by Timex, always liked watches with black faces,luminous dials and numerals, and a leather strap.as a teen in the 70's I loved wearing mine.
Your macro filming just gets better and better with each video.
Someone's up late :) (or is it early?)
Your "Silent Protest" came in loud and clear - with messages of solidarity, inspiration, creativity, and passion. Thank you for using your work and platform to convey your compassion, with a beautiful restoration of a Nakba lost in time, with subtle use of colour, images, and a sensitive attention to detail. While imperfect, the final result is what we hope would be a beautiful metaphor for a real solution that works. Deep respect, Joe. Your creativity is astounding
The silence is not as powerful as the love you share in your videos. Love overcomes all things.
you have a massive hart Jo, your silence says so much and I hope peace returns to the world and your hart soon my friend 🙏🏾
Although I did have to watch this with my Tinnitus screaming in my ears which is not pleasant 🥺
I could watch you work all day. It's very therapeutic.
That watch tells a story of a previous owner who fell upon hard times but still held on to it rather than pawning it. Makes you wonder how he got it and what it meant to him.
There are days when a rare heart like yours inspires me. Peace and love are rare and you are even more so.
Hi, love this one but missed the narrative, I love all the humour and your humanity. More please😊
I don't know why, but your silence brought tears to my eyes.
Wow! That case looked like a lost cause. I'm stunned at how well you restored it! It looks beautiful!
I missed you and your family. I pray for you much❤ from Pennsylvania
Stunning once again.
A metaphor perhaps? Showing that with enough effort anything can be fixed?
Continue your incredible work. X
I deeply respect your work and your protest. This was a beautiful restoration. Thank you for your work ethic - and your ethics, in general.
Protest I missed something, can you help explain?
@@donald4624 He's talking about the systematic murder and genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israel.
@@cleophusAso Palestinian terrorists attack Israel and somehow this is Israel’s fault? Sure, makes perfect sense. 🙄
Yes indeed this war is very lopsided. Palestine democratically elected Hammas. They turned out to be something different than expected. If Hammas released ALL the hostages immediately then im sure peace negotiations would begin straight away. Why dont they do that? Its beyond my comprehension to be honest.
@@billbeyer657, "unprovoked ' ?
Are you an ostrich ?
Your silence is an expression of the extreme misery we currently live in and calls for reconciliation and peace for all people. It is stronger than words ... Thank you for this masterpiece and stay strong
I am also sad u have gone silent. I love your gentle manner and expertise in watch repair.
Истинный шедевр настоящего мастера👍👍👍
There must be peace. There must be two states. People must be allowed to live in harmony and happiness, on all sides. Thank you for your strength and wisdom.
Also thank you for a lovely video and beautiful restoration.
People who elect and support Hamas do not vote for "harmony and happiness"
Miss the commentary!
Always amazed at your skill in handling those minute little pieces.
Amazing work as always, I think that this watch is more recent than the 40’s
My brother. Your voice is sorely missed, but the loudness of your silence is deafening. May Allah have mercy on us all. ❤
I miss the commentary, your funny jokes, stories, explanations, kids running around, all of it. Come back. I miss your voice.
Your silence speaks loudly. ☮️
As always, good to see you Joe even if we don't hear you...except we can hear you without a word. Stay safe and be well.
Thanks for the silent video. Miss your good humour, but not everyone has the same views Nekkid and it shows you have integrity to respect that. Peace would be the best thing but sadly both sides seem to want to avoid that 😢.
Sublime restoration. Peace.
Many thanks Joe for the marvellous work you did restoring my dad’s 50 year old Smiths Astral. You brought it back to life after years of neglect.
Thanks Graham
Oh joy. This beats the hell out of Coronation Street. Hope you're well my friend 🧡
A new video from NW. Today is a good day.
Thanks 😊
I'm not in support of your silence! We are here for your voice more than your watch restorations
One of your best, who knew there was such a pretty watch under all that mess.
Stop the Wars!
1940s to the 2020s will there ever be peace?
Beautiful watch. Stunning restoration. If only your peace and tranquillity was spread across the world ❤
Beautiful work, Joe. Very depressing that this world is in such a state that it has robbed you of the sweetness and joy I’m so accustomed to hearing in your videos.
I really enjoy your banter as you work, and hearing the love and warmth in your voice when Trouble visits the workshop.
I don’t mind the ASMR versions, but there was something very different and powerful, watching this and knowing it was a silent protest.
I pray that your silent protest and the efforts of others bring the peace and healing that is so desperately needed.
I was surprised to see that the keyless works in this Oris watch are almost identical to those in a tiny 1880s woman’s cylinder escapement pendant watch that I finished restoring last week.
The only difference was the position of the click, and the shape of the cover plate and scale of the parts. The layout and functionality was the same.
Each time I complete the restoration of a non-running cylinder escapement movement, I tell myself that it’ll be the last. Then another one finds me, is inevitably an heirloom with great sentimental value and I find myself saying “ok, I’ll do one more”.
I’d love to see you repair one that needs more than a clean and lubrication if one happens to cross your bench. There is very little such content on TH-cam, especially in English.
The fact that so few watchmakers will agree to work on them has given rise to an impression that they’re incredibly difficult to service. Parts availability can be a problem, but most of them were built to be serviceable.
Take care, Joe, and please, do not despair.
You are the only TH-camr I’m subscribed to with the spine to express their beliefs like this. For that I commend you. Thanks for using your platform for good.
Cat got your tongue? So, is it going to be the silent treatment from here on?
And there you have it, another watch rescued from obscurity.
Thank you for your videos, I hope to hear your voice again soon.
No calming voice this time 😭
Greetings brother. Thanks in advance for the video. 🙏🏻 peace be with you
Sometimes there are no words, this was a beautiful restoration and in its silence, deeply powerful. Thank you.
A beautiful job earthling, live long and prosper.
Joe, I think they were fibbing when they said it was waterproof.
No watch is truly waterproof.
A lot of watches are truly waterproof. Omega Seamaster, Rolex Submariner, Seiko dive watches etc etc
@@picapica8209 You better read the fine print. None of the watches you mentioned is waterproof.
O yes they are. My seamaster can stand water up to 1000 feet. I’ve never been that deep by the way.
