Restoring a Rusty vintage 1940s oris Watch BACK TO LIFE asmr

Miss the commenting from you during video. That’s the best part. Love your son when he comes in.

Your work is wonderful. I also realize I watch your videos because of your charm and commentary.

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!

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

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.

I agree with everyone else. Your kind comments and gentle humor is enjoyable and sooooo refreshing. Please give us your voice back! Thanks

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 dont know which was stronger, the incredible restoration or your silent protest. Amen to them both. Stay strong Joe!

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

Impossible task, Immaculate restoration, amazing skill. Silence is respect, my thoughts are with all those suffering in this cruel world. I pray for peace.😢

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.

Miss your voice Joe, but understand your reasons.
Lovely work as always.

I'm a simple man. I see a new Nekkid Watchmaker video, I click, I watch, I like... I'm happy.

Wow! Joe is the only restorer of anything I am subscribed to. The quality of his work is unmatched on KRplus. A true craftsman and a man of conscience.

Joe, you stand for peace, love, and justice. We stand for you, as well as those things. Stay strong.

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 !

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'll join the chorus of those missing your narration, I hope this finds you well and happy.

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!

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.

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.

What a kind and generous gift that plating set was!

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. ☮

Watch looks great. I missed your commentary.

Even in the worst situation , there can be a beautiful outcome , nice resto .

Quite a dramatic improvement to the case with the nickel plating and the polishing. The case looks brand new.

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

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.

great restoration, missed your words though, thanks for the content.

I came to see if you had new content and found this video. I hope to hear your voice once again and to laugh with you once more. These are the times that try men's souls. May the Almighty bless and keep you

Thank you for another amazing video. It is great to watch experts like you put the hard dedication on KRplus for our joy.

Your macro filming just gets better and better with each video.

I love how this guys earnestness is reflected in the audience. Absolutely top tier original KRplus content, a supremely skilled watch wizard and a fantastic bloke to boot. Another fantastic video, sir.

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.

Missed you Nekkid. I understand the silence. The world is not a happy place these days.

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.

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.

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.

The silence is not as powerful as the love you share in your videos. Love overcomes all things.

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

I could watch you work all day. It's very therapeutic.

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.

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 😢.

In this (mostly) vanity driven ,yt watch world we inhabit,you are a shining light,my friend!Peace and liberation to all living beings!

It’s not the same without your lovely commentary. 😊

There are days when a rare heart like yours inspires me. Peace and love are rare and you are even more so.

That is definitely a working man’s watch. I love your channel! Thanks for the joy you bring to so many of us.

Every time I watch one of your vids I find it calming and peaceful and love the work you do

Your restoration of that particular watch and your protest , just perfect. Thank you.

Another awesome restoration! I missed your commentary but from reading the comments I have obviously missed a few videos that would explain your decision. In any case, it won't stop me from watching your videos and I hope you find your joy again soon!

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. 🙏 🤲 🤗

No more silent protests. Your comments are also what makes your videos so enjoyable. Keep up the great work 👍

You are an amazing human, Joe.
Nice work with the restoration as always and the silent message. Peace

Beautiful watch. Stunning restoration. If only your peace and tranquillity was spread across the world ❤

I miss the sweetness and joy of your voice. This was an amazing restoration, but sadly silent with only the sound of your tools and work. I pray for your joy to return soon. 🇺🇸🙏

Amazing. You are truly gifted. Peace, brother.

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.

Thank you for your excellent videos and your beautiful work.
I think, like any humans, we might disagree about many things. After these last two videos, however, I see things differently than I did before. It seems like an odd way to get someone to see an issue in a different light, but I wanted you to know that you'd at least nudged this crusty old heart.
I have prayed for you and your family and for those people enduring such great suffering and grief. My votes and my donations going forward will be influenced by all the thoughts I had while I watched your work and missed your voice.
Thanks for saving that tough old Oris too.

I genuinely gasped at the reveal. My goodness, that is a good-looking watch and a superb restoration. As for the commentary, sometimes silence speaks volumes.

Your work is always top notch, but your humanity is even on a higher plane.
Cheers & best wishes for your family both near & far.

Wow! That case looked like a lost cause. I'm stunned at how well you restored it! It looks beautiful!

Истинный шедевр настоящего мастера👍👍👍

Amazing , great watch.and even greater restoration. Ready for the battlefield of timekeeping, not war.

I deeply respect your work and your protest. This was a beautiful restoration. Thank you for your work ethic - and your ethics, in general.

Miss the commentary!
Always amazed at your skill in handling those minute little pieces.

It is hard to be a source for good in sad times. However those of us that can entertain and do, have a duty to shine out our light and hold back the darkness for a while for others. In your case 286,000 others.
Without your voice it is hard to enjoy the video and the shadow gains a little ground.
I hope you can find the strength to spread the warm happy glow of your channel again one day.

Good job.........I admire your skills and your compassion for your fellow man!!!

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.

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

I stand with you Sir. I pray for the innocents everyday.

Amazing! I love watching these makeovers. Bringing a tired old watch back to life is so satisfying to see.

I miss the commentary, your funny jokes, stories, explanations, kids running around, all of it. Come back. I miss your voice.

Sublime restoration. Peace.

I missed you and your family. I pray for you much❤ from Pennsylvania

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.

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.

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

Hey, on the contrary to most comments, NGL i did for once enjoy a lot that video without commentary, made it a great ASMR restoration! Thx!

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.

A new video from NW. Today is a good day.

Your silence speaks loudly. ☮️

Such a beautiful job Joe. That old Oris has a new lease on life. Thank you. Love your work. I do miss Trouble. Greetings from N.S.W. Australia.

Stunning once again.
A metaphor perhaps? Showing that with enough effort anything can be fixed?
Continue your incredible work. X

I don't know why, but your silence brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks 😊

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 🥺

Blessings to you and to everyone. Breathtaking craftsmanship, beautiful outcome. Thanks for always sharing and caring.

Stop the Wars!

Joe, I think they were fibbing when they said it was waterproof.

Oh joy. This beats the hell out of Coronation Street. Hope you're well my friend 🧡

I too miss your voice. What a fantastic job you did on the watch. Thanks so much for the video. I pray for peace for Gaza. ❤

Cat got your tongue? So, is it going to be the silent treatment from here on?

1940s to the 2020s will there ever be peace?

You are an Artist and I do love watching you create your art. Peace to you and yours, and peace to this troubled planet.

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 KRplus, 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 KRplusr 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.

Greetings brother. Thanks in advance for the video. 🙏🏻 peace be with you

Wow.. I would buy this watch from you!!! Superb workmanship... Total respect for the care.... And also for not throwing the casing away... I was so sure you'd do that... But you restored it masterfully!!!

What a beautiful watch! I'm glad you did the full restoration and not left it with some "vintage" patina on it. You are the BEST!
