    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

    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. 🙏 🤲 🤗

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

    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.
