I had such high EXPECTATIONS for this Baumgartner restoration - telemeter calograph DORE - bfg 670 

Perfect way to demonstrate that inexpensive things can still be worthwhile. I love to hear your children laughing in the background and see you play with them. I pray you and your family are always safe, happy and healthy❤️🐝🤗

The watches aren't always gems but the videos always are :)

Buddy, I have watched (sic) your videos for a few years now, always enjoyed them. Today, my RangeRover decided to blow up on me, (broken spine, so they’re super comfy ride for me) and been told it’s 9k to fix it. I have been super stressed all afternoon, worry, upset and stress, which is horrible. And I open up RU-vid and what do I find? Your video. Never have I NEEDED to listen to someone’s calm and gentle voice, exuding a peaceful slow attitude, which has really helped me tonight. Thankyou

Glad to see you back, my friend. It may be an inexpensive watch, but it still deserves a little love.

Being old, broken and generally a bit budget, it's a joy to see such a gentle, calm person using those virtues on an old, broken and formerly budget watch. Peace to you, yours and others you hold dear.

I feel like everyone who watches your videos also watches Baumgartner Restoration. If not, I’m sure they would like his videos too. I feel like he sped through his last video. I wait for your videos no matter how long it takes or how nice the watch is.

Your channel is brilliant and you're a true gentle soul.

What a great bit of therapy for a Sunday, cheers NeKKid

Hi Joe. Very nice camera and lens for the crisp close-ups there. I just received my 70+ year old watch back from a watchmaker, restored to working order from a sad and broken state. It was my father's and grandfather's, and it is making me happy to hear it ticking. Can't wait to show my mum and siblings.

RU-vid handed me a gift today by placing this video in my list of suggested videos. While I can't quite understand the point of the piggy-back ride in the middle of the video, I was delighted, nonetheless. 😆 The presenter's sense of humour had me giggling and chuckling throughout. I almost forgot I was viewing a watch repair video and not an episode of Monty Python. Cheers to the toddler whose sound effects could be heard throughout the video. What a jewel! Thank you for making my day.

Nice suprise on this sunny Sunday for you to make an appearance,lol love this show.

They all don’t have to be high end watches, to be a great restoration job. Plain and simple but a fantastic job done, great work with your children’s interactions makes a great relaxing watch ! Keep safe to you and yours 😊

"Sometimes when I'm stressed, I just find something to polish by hand", said by just about every teenage boy ever.

That watch ended up looking far nicer than it actually is!

Fascinating to watch a 300 pound repair and service on a 5 pound movement., at least we know how this minimal movement works!!!

You made a cheap,watch look good using the same skills that you use on the very expensive watches. Good man.

I love videos like this as much as any other from you. Yes it is nice to see an expansive well made watch taken apart so we can enjoy all the art and technical wizardry that goes into making a watch tick but for me your videos are a point in my day where I get to stop, and do nothing else than watch an expert do his thing. We also get to see why the fancy bells and whistles are added, you can see just how much metal rubbing on metal can damage a part and why gaskets and such stop grime getting in.

It's been a while, waited patiently, and in reward I got to see another lovely old watch restoration... well done, Nekkid; it's always a pleasure to see your work. Can't wait to see another, soon. 🥰

Lovely vid, peace and love to you, family and all watching.

Thank You. I Love hearing the kids voices in the background.

I cannot help but think that there is something Fundamentally Virtuous in the work you do. Saving pieces of craftsmanship from decay and degradation, honoring the great works of our fathers, and preserving them for future generations. I pray nothing but goodness upon you and yours! Thank you for your work!

Loved the loud & clear message you gave when displaying the watch on your watch brother❤

Yes it is great to see another video and hear your voice. As always you have done the watch justice and got it working and cleaned up. Be well

His Polishing! IT'S OVER 9000!!

Oh thank goodness you’re back! Yay!!!!

Love the understated pleas for humanity. Thank you.

Looks like my day to day running a used music store for 3 decades. So much effort, so much time cleaning and restoring cheaply made guitars. I like to feel as though we make them better than the manufacturer intended. It's a labor of love. Great content as always.

Beautiful watch. Looking forward to this one.

That was an amazing transformation given what you had to work with. Excellent job!

i'm recovering from emergency surgery to reattach my left knee cruciate ligaments and so am stuck indoors. Therefore seeing another upload from you really raised my spirits!!! Thank you so much.

Great work my friend! Thank you for showing us the insides of a working man's watch. But maybe not the complete bottom of the food chain, something similar to a base model car, but optioned with the big radio and fancy paint!

Another amazing 46 minutes of forgetting everything but watch fixing, thank you Joe!

You are the paradigm, great man do great job 👏. Always enjoy watching 😂

Always makes me smile when you post a video , no matter what it is . Your voice is so peaceful. Thank you 😊

Wow always so great when an upload appears..... the precision workmanship is awesome! Please post more awesome content!

Some great camera work, great voiceover, lovely video, thanks for making it !

I really enjoyed seeing all the clever cost saving solutions in that movement.

"Remember rafah " broke my heart 😢

You needed the woodworking tolls for this fella!! At one point i thought the vice screw was the crown of the watch… ‘that’s chunky I thought’ 😮 it is good to see the opposite of Haute Horologie on the channel . Peace and love 🧡

It's the methodical way of sorting through the many issues of this POS, getting it running likely better than when it left the factory, then declaring it a POS! Verging on genius but well worth it. One of the better things about this channel, not just run of the mill Veuve Clicouots, but real watches 🙂

Wow, you just made my weekend! Thank you! I missed you and your voice, and your kids. Stay blessed and safe!

I miss the sounds of my sons when they were little. You have yours on video for posterity.

I like the simplicity. This watch is more of a piece of ART than a piece of engineering. But I'm just an observer. You have liberated the movement of the clock, but we are also waiting for the liberation of فلسطين.

Great to see another fan of Julian Baumgartner. Me? Fan of both of you.

What a lovely little inexpensive watch, probably the first time it has been open since the day it was built! Thank you for showing so much care and attention over an item that is probably a fraction of the value of some of the pieces you bring to us, love your work.

Watching your videos is so relaxing. I watch many over again. Thanks so much for taking the time sharing your knowledge and personality. I pray for peace for Palestine.

Wonderful to see you back. Great video! ❤ And I think the little one did say “Oh Shit”. 😂

Good to see you. I love the forensics on and explanations of a watch that isn't even of great quality.

Nice to see a watch like this restored and given some love. Always nice to have one of your videos drop on RU-vid, very therapeutic and you have some important things to say about the world but in a gentle way.

It's interesting to see one like that, it makes me appreciate better ones:) Cheers, Rik Spector

Well earthling, another triumph, all of the dials and numbers would be handy for calculating the distance between Uranus and earth utilising the time and space continuums, or something similar. In the immortal words of Spock, live long and prosper.

Nice job Joe! I did a restoration one one of these a few months ago, brand was Misalla, no calendar though. Same base movement exactly! I had all your problems plus a bent main plate horse shoe shaped pin pallet (fork) none jewel hole, and a bent pin pallet pivot (obviously)! I oiled the main so prong barrel as you did, thanks for the strip down and assembly of it! I like different movements, but not a big fan of low jewel count and pin pallets. Saying that, I’ve got it running well and still have it, it looks cool even if not technically excellent 😁looking forwforward to more different watches, movements, problems and especially fixes! Ta.

restoration Baumgartner ......... Baumgartner Restoration ...........cheeky

Wow that came out much nicer than I was expecting!

Beautiful work.. congrats.. 100 year old watch getting e new life.. 😊😊

I was wondering if this was Julian Baumgartner's watch or if it somehow had something to do with his channel, lol. Another enjoyable watch restoration. The watch may not have been high quality, but you made it look and operate so much better!

So happy to hear your dulcet tones Joe. Love a BFG. Like Duracell bunnies. I have a few in my pile. They keep on ticking. Loved some of those close-ups, like the installation of the pallet cock. Top bob our kid. God bless you, and the world's oppressed.

Passion project for sure. Another nice video. Thank you!!

Joe.. I think with this one you passed the exams to become a certified forensic horologist! Well done.. I was sitting early in the morning with my tea and thought the little one had said.. “oh shxt” made my morning.. God bless you and the family.. Frank

The pin pallet movements have been the bulk of my tinkering so far, but I didn't know what they were initially. I got interested in watchmaking last fall after looking up how to remove links from a watch my dad gave me before he passed, which then brought me down the rabbit hole. So I started buying cheap but cool looking vintage watches on eBay thinking I had cracked the code. But when my first vintage Timex arrived, I was bummed to discover it had a weird looking movement (different from the RU-vidrs that I had been watching), so I decided to take it apart fully, then learned from the countless experts that they're not supposed to be fully disassembled and serviced (but it now keeps really good time). Alas, they also said to start out watchmaking on a working movement. I've basically started out against the grain on all initial accounts, and it's been painful and fun at the same time. I watched videos for 3-4 months while sneaking (one time I snuck in an ultrasonic purchase while my wife was paying for her Taylor Swift tickets 😂) the funds to purchase basic tools and lubricants. And here I am, at an airport in Florida commenting on your channel and binging the vids. Names Joe, too, BTW. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your skill, knowledge, family, wisdom and your blessings with us!

Sometimes I feel like I'm stealing from you! What I mean is....I LOVE watching these watch rebuilds/refurbishing! As an analog type of guy, it is with great pleasure that I sit and watch while sipping my favorite kind of freshly ground coffee while watching you perform major open watch surgery! I have for a few years now and have been getting more and more upset at myself for not "supporting" you via the funding platform available. At some point the irrational will become overridden by more logical/rational mindset, but as of today, not yet. Please continue on with these very informative/relaxing kinds of operations!

Love the dial but the movement is lacking in jewel and refinement department. Nice to hear the kids having fun in the background. Great video 2x👍

A movement that wasn’t so much designed as congealed. I wonder how many of them were ever disassembled! Love your work. Peace and love 🇵🇸

A one jewel wonder, sounds like a lot of the musicians back in the day. Now they have a watch to fit their music!

I have 15 watches with this movement and despite being a cheap movement they are sll running well after I serviced them. Some of them actually have jewels on almost all pivots. I have never seen them anywhere else in a BFG 670.

Sounds like Germ may end up being more trouble than trouble hehe! Cheers Mate.

A very expensive job, for a very cheap watch. I like It🙂👍

Another lovely video Joe, well done and looking forward to the next one.

I just realized that the vibe of your videos is very much akin to a PGA Masters Final Round, just without the golf clapping 👏👏👏👏

Sun shining, got the bbq going and then I see a nekkid notification! Happy days 😊 Thanks Joe

Thank goodness, you posted a video! I’ve been going through withdrawals.

Your time just opening that watch was more valuable than the watch, but it still made a great educational and relaxing video - Ohhh SHhhhit, did you just say…… yep, kids repeat everything they hear.

I never knew you can put glass jars in a ultrasonic cleaner thanks for the tip net time I am repairing a clock I will remember that I have a nice art deco desk clock 8 day wind that I want to restore this winter !

Great Video! When im stressed i just watch one of your videos and the world seems a better place!

I love the BFG movements. 866 is a common jump hour.

Thank you. please do not stop.

Again, a wonderful video and lovely commentary. Thank you.

This was quite therapeutic to watch. Thanks for the upload.

Missed you!!

Just goes to show we are all worthy of respect, no matter how others perceive value. Be kind to ourselves and to others. Peace and love to all. Kind regards from Australia.

Awesome as usual....Thank You Mr Nekkid

That was a soothing video Joe, thank you. Be well,stay safe and Peace ☮️.

On these movements the A/h is actually 17280 not 18000, so you have to manually change it to read at 17280 to regulate these guys (it'll autodetect at 18000, but it's wrong and that's why it's not working)

Awesome work, Joe, as always! I utterly enjoyed watching what you can make out of this cheap watch. Thank you!

Watching your video is really so peacefull , after that you always fell better !!

I still love that dial. I would buy that watch even if it’s not a very nice movement.

Bless you, man. Thank you for sharing your work.

So you found it in your junk drawer, what a hidden “gem”

Nice to see you back

You did a wonderful restoration of an odd peace of history and you displayed very high craftsmanship but was it worth your skill and time??? The world wonders

7:32 Actually, BFG had hired a watchmaker named Tony “Secondshand” Jewel to assemble these movements, during a stretch when he was not in jail for stealing and selling used watches.

Slight enigma of a movement/watch but no problem for you sir. 'Powerful' Image.💔🇵🇸😢❤

Watching you timegrapher losing its sh*t was funny as. Seriously I had to watch it a couple of times just to work out WTH was happening. Cheers man.

This was made for the blue collar workers that wanted a complication watch. A little piece of history. Another great video.

Fantastic video as usual. Watching your videos I have learned enough that I've been able to perform a full service on a Bulova 7ak. I had to replace the balance and the mainspring but the watch is now running and keeping perfect time. Thank you for all you do.

what a treat.......one of your videos!!!!!yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent macro work and a great restoration 🙂🇬🇧👍

Very enjoyable video. So informative observing a master at his craft. Thank you! 👍❤

Brilliant video.
