KZread's finest watchmaker!!

Most excellent video. Props to your camera operator. I look forward to seeing you tackle the Omega.Thanks.

How peaceful this man is....and oddly funny in a good way. I liked watching him 'trim' straps. I wish he would Sell these wonderful watches to the highest bidder

As usual in a sad world you bring pleasure with your Excellent Production and Skill ❤️ Thanks

And humor.

Top notch again mate. I really want your lapping machine!! Damn expensive things though for us hobbyist. Typical that someone has swapped the movement out and scratched dial in the process. Superb work filled with humour which is just what I needed. Thanks old bean!

US$6k lapping machine and one of his polishing vises if I remember right is close to $2k.

Is that why there’s not the 44 jewels it says there is? Apologies if I missed it but I’ve had no sleep. It’s 7:30 am and I’m trying to relax watching these 😔

I'll be honest... I started off this video thinking it was a pretty ugly piece; but I'll be damned, by the end it looked amazing 🤯

This was really interesting and showcased a lot of your skills! I've really enjoyed the evolution of your tools as well! That steel polishing... Oooof, so nice.

Amazing restoration on a great looking watch! On a side note, when you said "sweet" in the beginning of the video, I ran into the kitchen thinking I left the tea kettle on the stove! 😱 Oh, and let your son know how much we all appreciate him loaning his toothbrush so you could clean up case back so nicely! What a Team Player! 😎👍

Hey, Nekkid ...not the best of days, i'm soaking in the day's events with sadness but have come here albeit late to watch your latest escapades, Gotta love our dearly departed queen and support our new king (version mark III), Peace to you.....trouble and the accountant

Watching and listening to you is like putting on an old comfortable slipper 😊

What a beauty

Watching you dismantle a watch is like watching a magician preparing his next slight of hand trick. You are incredible.Thank you.

I'm was thinking to myself, that's a butt-ugly watch! But when you took off the crystal and that dial appeared in all it's glory, I was stunned. The case polishing was right-on as well. I didn't expect the text to show up so nicely when you polished it, but it did and it was glorious. Excellent vid, mate! Rock on.

Bravo for another gorgeous restoration & to the Cameraman for sharing his mini-Picassos... always brilliant to see another fledgling creative soul 👏💜

I went and put on my Roamer Mercury to watch this. It's great to see such an underrated brand get some love. You did a superb job too Nekkid, I'd proudly wear that old Stingray, it looks like a classic 60's watch with that leather strap!

Welcome back bro - I didn't think you could do it, but after years of watching I should not have doubted you.

I love this guy ! I‘ve learned more in a couple of videos than in years of listening what can or cannot be done from my watchmaker !!

I've been a subscriber for a couple years or so now. Your videos never cease to amaze me with your quality restorations. They are relaxing, satisfying, informative, and entertaining all at the same time. You have the patience of mountains!

Good to see you back mate. Been looking forward to you posting. Can’t wait to see the end result 👍

I love the humor and expertise in the watchmaking

I'm very very pleased indeed to see you again. The watch looks great after all your loving work on it. Beautiful pond. Trouble has an excellent feeling for composition and he's fearless with colour (seriously). All the best to you and yours and tara a bit.

So glad to see you back!!! Hope all is well with you all. Fabulous restoration ad always. Thanks

Wonderful to watch this restoration and so glad to see you back on the channel. This was a master piece in true Nekkid style,please keep them coming and “trouble “is becoming a true Picasso, bless😎🇬🇷

Glad to see you and your helper, you've been missed! Beautiful job, as always. Lovely pond. Can't wait for the next one. *HUGS*

I'm a big fan of your channel

Of all your videos I've seen, this is one of my favorite. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us!!!

Another amazing transformation👍 I would guess that you get enormous satisfaction in producing such work. Thank you for posting!

Another wonderful restoration of an older watch, I am gaining an appreciation for the older design. Thank you as as always. Missed your son in the video

Great craftmanship thanks for taking me along.

Your case refinish work is every bit as nice as your movement work.

Missed your videos... glad to see this one, and that you're back safe and healthy one and all.. Excellent as always, thank you.

Wonderful job! It's nice to see a professional at work.

Wow, that watch’s true beauty was buried deep, waiting for you to bring it out. Great job as per always. And, I say again, these stunning resto videos are just made so much better by the calm, good humoured commentary (in the friendliest access in the UK of course), and as for the little spiritual/ philosophical footnotes - well, after a tough day and a sleepless night, these videos are the best mindfulness! Thanks again.

Again another great video. I love the fact that you take what others might throw away and restore them to a useful watch. I wish you and yours be well.

That watch is superb! You did an amazing job I watched it again. I think what I love is the old and challenging projects you make look so perfect. 👍

I would have loved to have seen you put this watch on a stingray watch strap. But I know they're not cheap. Fantastic job on the restoration ♥️

Great to see you back you’ve been missed. Great job as usual 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 take a bow

A magnificent restoration! Thank you for this great video and your soothing voice.

I always feel good about life after watching one of your posts. After all, time is all we really have.Thank you!

Dude! You never cease to amaze me with your skills, such a great job well done, you turned something that to the untrained eye should have been headed to the bin, into something worth wearing and more.

Superb , love watching a craftsman. Still amazed how they remember where everything goes back !!

Fantastic turnaround. Lovely usable vintage watch too👏🏻

I loved this video cause you introduced a watch brand I had not heard of before 😃. I am also glad you took a sabbatical from videos for the summer. Spend as much time with your kids as you can before they are grown like mine. God bless!☺️❤️

This restoration work was much more interesting and entertaining than a Saturday night movie! I always love to see the difference between the old and restored status. Thank you again for your quality entertainment!

Thank you for sharing your talent with us again! Always a pleasure to watch a master at work, please keep up the good work and pass on my regards to your apprentice/cameraman. regards from Scotland.

Ha, ha, ha! I was thinking "those hour markers are going to be too raggedy compared to the rest of the watch." and then you touched them up as a guilty pleasure!

Your skills and humour make me smile. Enough said. John

This is a video and a channel I’ve missed!!!! Thanks for the upload!

Beautiful job! Really enjoyed every moment

One of my favourite ones!! Wait.... they are all my favourites! Thank your wife for letting you expand your film camera equipment. Really can see the difference!!

Excellent stuff! Good to see you back. Really relaxing see you at work!

Beautiful cleanup. It’s a nice looking watch now you can see the face, glad you decided to brush the case, it really changed the look. More please!😊

Amazing transformation! One of the best looking watches ever, in my opinion 😍. Love your videos 👌🏻

WELL WELL WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE MOST ENJOYABLE WATCHMAKER ON KZread. Welcome back from space, mate.

I’m here in The States watching you in The UK and I don’t mind telling you l have learned a lot from you. I get a kick out of all of your videos. I’m happy that you have your children in some with your videos because when they are older they can look back at a place in time when their life was so simple with dad. You are definitely spot on with your craft both in watch repair and your creative content here on KZread. Keep up the great work You are definitely one of the Best. 👍

Wow. What a beautiful dial hidden under that hazy crystal

Finally someone using plastic tweezers to remove parts, if I am handling something that is very delicate I have a set of plastic ones that I use. And they are great for electronics, no chance of accidentally grounding out something.

Well done! I am impressed with your ability to handle such small components. Cheers!

I've watched the first 6 seconds of this video over and over and over... it's spectacular!

What an incredible restoration! You're truly a master watchmaker.

A beautiful watch, a beautiful restoration, and a fun commentary. Thank you, that was a great pleasure to view. ❤😊

After a cold, wet, hard day at work I am grateful for your videos and a nice cup of tea

Watching this is the best stress release therapy I've had this month.

@Nekkid: Delighted to see you back! Very interesting watch and segment.

Perfect, loved the before and after timings

You are the king of total restoration!!!!

You showed unusual restraint in not fixing the scratch in the dial face..... lol another great restoration! Thanks for the vids bro!

just started watching you over the weekend and I absolutely love your sense of humor and the quality of your videos. Keep up the fantastic work and tell your son I said hello.

Another beautiful job. Well done!

What an outstanding restoration. An absolutely stunning result. That is one beautiful watch. Thank you for bringing it back from the dead. Speaking of back from the dead, great to hear you again after you long an well deserved break. I have that exact same shirt except some of my printing has worn away. I need to order another..... May i offer my condolences to you and your countrymen of the passing of your queen. A truly great ruler and better person.....

Happy you are back! Fascinating as always and the complexity of watches never cease to render me speechless!

I'm amazed at how well the Caseback polished up on this, I was convinced you'd lose some of the Text no matter how carefully you went. Also it's good to know I'm not the only one who dislikes those 'Concertina' Rubber Straps.

Wonderful watch..I really enjoy your calm videos and chat.

Beautifully done ! Thank you for sharing your expertise 🍻

That's a really cool watch! Came out amazing! Great job!

Another amazing transformation! Thanks again, I really enjoy these episodes.

I have been stung by this Stingray DV and I made it my 2023 goal to attain one. I enjoyed this video on my first day of summer Holidays here in Sydney .That was a epic restoration and as always first class workmanship, I'm glad teh Roamer ended up with the leather strap and not a rubber one, perhaps you missed out on a chance to use your red leather strap you have in your strap box. thank you for the tutorial .

Another master piece restoration from the best. Please don’t let us wait too long for the next lesson in true craftsmanship

I sized a watch this evening. I was calmly channeling you my distant friend. Fortunately I did purchase a few basic tools so I was not attempting to deal with the tiny screws with my teeth. Seriously, you do inspire me to try some things.. that is sweeeeet! Frank in Colorado

Awesome insight into an amzing restoration of a cool old watch...thanks for sharing.

You are a true artist. Wonderful build.

brilliantly done thanks for sharing this awesome process

Gorgeous timepiece. Superb product, superlative craftsmanship and knowledge.

Another fantastic video! Educational and entertaining. Please keep ‘‘em coming!

Quite a transformation. Another great job.

Beautiful watch . Amazing restoration🙌🏻

Beautiful job. I'd heard of Roamer but hadn't realised they made movements of such quality.

These aren't videos. They are blessings. Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Beautiful job, as always Sir!

Well Done! I've never witnessed a service performed on a Roamer. I can see where many would consider the movement to be overbuilt, but in actuality each function is well planned, and purposeful. The atmosphere pressure test was suspenseful. For me, the highlight of this episode was the masterful skill with the polish mops, and texturing wheel. It resurrected this timepiece to its original glory! I enjoyed every facet of this restoral. Thank you for posting.

I’m addicted to this channel. 😊

Another brilliant final product, and a joy to watch your work. Well done again sir.

Beautiful photography, great workmanship. Thank you!

Exquisite!! In awe of your craftsmanship. This is a very nice watch that I would love to own.

I really like that you restore the cases. Lots of people stick with the patina approach but at least with you we can see what the watch looked like in its hay day.

The missing jewels are tne ruby needle roller bearings in the sprag clutches that allow the rotor to wind the watch whichever direction the rotor turns.

Amazing job Nikkid.
