  • Joe runs the TH-cam channel Nekkid Watchmaker, where he restores vintage and antique watches. He shows us how he restores a Cartier Tank watch from the 1980s. He deconstructs the entire watch, fixes the movement, cleans dirt out of it, puts all of the parts into a cleaning solution, polishes the pieces, gold-plates the case, and reassembles it.

    This is a Must Cartier Tank (more consumer friendly price and materials) which is less valuable then a traditional Cartier Tank by a large margin. This watch can be bought in pretty good condition for a few hundred to a thousand max (overpriced imo) on ebay. Still he did a wonderful job restoring it, but for anyone liking this watch they can own it for a fraction of what this video title says in much better quality.
