OMG SO MANY SPRINGS !!! RESTORATION 1970’s mechanical alarm watch memostar SICURA 

I have a Seiko Bell-Matic. I bought this watch in Ontario some 55+ years ago. I still wear it once in a while. It keeps good time and the alarm still works. It was quite expensive for a young lad, I saved the money from shoveling driveways in the winter. I watch your presentations. They are excellent.

I bought one in good nick, Joe. Now I can service it and restore it following you all the way. God bless, Steph

Just want to make sure you're well aware... you are my favorite RU-vid watch maker, and I mean that. HUGE fan... love the subtle humor, and the patience you have in restoring such fantastic watches. You're a gentlemen and a scholar!

Well done!! That is a beautiful watch!!! This is my favorite period of watch making, 1960-70s. You are definitely a master of your craft.

So many would just shoo away their son if he interrupted a video recording but to embrace him and make him a part of the video is pure genius, he will be someone great one day because of it.

A great many people might find your subject matter boring. But I on the other hand find them entertaining and very educational. Thank you.

How on earth you manage to remember where everything goes is still a mystery to me. Extraordinary is the word I would use. I've missed these videos more than I thought I would, and it brings entertainment and education together in one. Very cool :)

Your little ones are getting their training firsthand by observing this highly skilled job on regular basis.

So great to see a watch that would otherwise be consigned to the bin, being restored and rescued. All watches have a story to tell, and this one has a new chapter to write. 😎👍🏻

Thank you for posting this video, this model is my everyday watch. It keeps almost perfect time which is something as it was in a bag of odds and ends that I had purchased more than ten years ago. I very much enjoy the way you present your excellent skills through the videos. Keep them coming.

I’ve missed the fun with the Nekkid watchmaker. That was very entertaining but it was over too quickly. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us.😎

Such a 'drama queen' with a fabulous ending. Great job on the restoration including the strap. That's a conversation piece... Great job...!!

I always look forward to when your watch repair videos pop up in my notification, In this throw away society it is great to see what can be salvaged from the dustbin with the right amount of time, Skill and Expertise (and a some well placed humour) . Respect 🙏

My favorite part of your video’s are the sound of your son’s voice and the noises he makes!!!! He sounds adorable!!!

That watch looks amazing Nekkid. I love the 70's designs with their cushion cases and odd shapes that were meant to look space age. So glad you brought it back to life!

Father and Son Duo. Great workmanship and the sleeve is awesome. You rock

The amount of parts and intricacy of this watch is amazing. A mechanical work of art. I want a isometric draftsman’s drawing of this to hang on my wall.. it is beautiful!

Mechanical watches are the truest form of art in motion I love them a beautiful watch and a beautiful job.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Why do I keep coming back and enjoying this channel

Magical Moments ❤️ Magical Sentiments ❤️ Love your work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧

Such an unusual, yet beautiful piece! Always love seeing and learning about these "oddball" works of art. Great video as per usual my friend! Your humor is always appreciated. I love the "dress shirt" at the end. Now all you need are some cufflinks to compliment each piece you show off! I look forward to your next restoration!

Ok that strap with that watch was PERFECTION

From a mechanical standpoint, this to me was your most impressive video to date. You made it look easy, that’s always the sign of a master 🤙🏽

I thought it was an odd design until the end and I saw it on your wrist. Beautiful.

I put everything else on pause and watched this with a good cup of coffee. You make it look so easy, but I know decades of experience went into providing me with this 30 minutes of respite. Thanks

Hey! I've had to do a fair bit of polishing and I would like to share a tip. When moving from one grit to the next, move the paper at an angle off from the angle of the previous paper. This highlights the scratches from the previous paper as well as decreases the amount of time needed to finish. Also, if polishing a flat surface, place the paper on a flat surface and polish on that rather than using your fingers. Not that you did a bad job, not in the least bit, but a nice trick to get that flat look, where the light reflection is not bent but more like a mirror.

That watch is gorgeous, and now I have to try and find one. Thank you for making me spend money.

Love watching a master at work

Gooood! Love your humor and that sweet voice of your little boy. So cute. Love the watch. Very handsome

When I first saw this watch I thought how ugly it was and how could we have worn such things, but after cleaning up the watch is actually quite beautiful and stylish. What an amazing job you do turning something we had discarded as junk turn into a beautiful watch that is quite is desirable to have! And that final choice of watch band was absolutely perfect! Beautiful sexy watch!

Another nekkid masterpiece! Always a pleasure to watch! 🤦‍♂️😂🤦‍♂️

Love your sense of humour and as always your work is just faultless .Keep up the fantastic work and have a great Christmas .

I love these videos...your soothing voice helps me relax while you work your magic on watches. Thank you!!

I’m liking even as I commence the video !! Love these 70’s era watches brings back happy memories. Great to see a new episode.

I own a Poljot with a mechanical alarm from 1991. It's a limited edition for the 100th birthday of the Transiberian Railroad. Sounds just like this.

Glad to see you back, we missed you, I hope all is well!

Nice watch. You made it beautiful again. Nifty complication. 🙏🍻

Love it, such a unique watch. I used to own a Seiko Bell-Matic and the alarm function was really cool. You picked a great strap for it as well. Great work 👍

Great video. Love watching you work your magic on these classics.

Good to see you back, love your laid back commentary and wry humour 😂

Never heard about this brand but it’s a fine piece of craftsmanship!

This isn’t just a service, it’s a full blown restoration

Your artisan technique and dry wit are great pleasures to watch/listen and enjoy.

Lovely work on a really interesting watch. I really enjoyed this rebuild and the problem solving around the chrome case. The crystal restoration must have taken a lot of time, those scratches were pretty deep. I admire your patience and your love for your craft. Blessings.

Love the reactions when all the crud is seen and removed 😁

Love the watch, that eye of thundera would look great on any Wilykit or Wilykat's wrist! Love the side views too.

Gorgeous work! great choice on the strap.

Brilliant ! (as usual) The Russian also have a similar movement (poljot 2612, based on the AS 1475). Cool little complication, this mechanical alarm 🤗

I loved watching you select the band. Black one, blah, another black one, blah, a third black one, still blah, and then POP! That grey band is just perfect for that watch, and it's not a color I would have thought of.

If Teddy Baldassarre ever needs a watch model stand-in, you’re the guy, Joe.

Thank you for your videos. I very much enjoy watching you work your magic.

What a beauty you brought back to life! A real stunner as the Mad Watch Collector would say. The movement is so intricate, so many different parts. This morning I was working on a watch, a Cressi Manta diver with a Ronda 1 Jewel movement. I wasn't servicing the movement but for some reason the needles were not moving so on a lark I decided after changing the battery to take off the needles and put them back on to see if that would do something and low and behold, it started working again. Now my friend really abuses this watch as it is his tool watch, he is a PADI Course Director and is in the water with it nearly every day. The coating on the bezel is down to the metal and lots of scratches. I have to say every time I attempt to do something that I think is relatively simple I have greater respect for the talent you have. Just putting back those needles was a major pain but I got so much satisfaction from having done it myself. Out of curiosity what are the dimension specs on that watch?

I love your videos! I had an old mechanical watch that was not working, so I decided to try to follow what you do. I am so proud of myself as I managed to take the entire movement apart first time round. I didn’t have a cleaner, so I washed it all in a tub of ipa, then I begun rebuilding it. And now I am the proud owner of several small tobacco tins full of the various parts of said watch, some of them I’m almost bloody sure had babies while out of the movement and multiplied vastly. The case and strap look amazing on my wrist with absolutely FARK all in the case! Ho hum…..just goes to show, you’re not just a great content provider, but a bloody clever bloke too!

You ever sneeze at an in opportune time and blow parts everywhere?

Just beautiful!

I don't know why, but "Everything is ETA now" situation makes me very sad. So many very old family businesses are consumed and acquired by one big corporation... I understand, that otherwise these businesses were bankrupt now, but still it is very sad for me.

I enjoy your videos very much. You have a great sense of humor (I'm not British, so not 'humouuuur'). Thank you for producing them.

Harry Cutts: I was just about to say exactly the same thing! When it was disassembled the parts were in some assemblance of order. But after washing, just tipping them out on the bench, just how do you know what spring is which or what screw fits what hole and thread (plus how long is it and how is the head configured - size/shape etc....). Extraordinary!

Love the colour contrast of the strap and dial face.

Masterful photography and editing, Nekkid. And how do you remember where everything goes when rebuilding? The mind boggles… Will

Such a wonderful sense of humour!

Love that watch. The search has begun! Thanks for the great videos.

Absolutely lovely video. Thanks so much for sharing your skills, I just love watching your content.

Enjoying your combination of recorded real-time voice track, with the commentary voiceover. Nice job.

Your skills are amazing. Love your sense of humor.

It's always fun to listen to your son when he comes into the room.

Ну что сказать, охуительно.

Really nice, I love 70's watches.

Exactly the right wristband! Well done.

Absolutely brilliant video Sir. Loved it. You're a very skilled man. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Both artists. Beautiful watch

Lovely restoration and watch, thanks.

Beautiful craftsmanship !

I just love the coffee slurping. I have now started to bring coffee to my computer to my viewing sessions of your wonderful videos. Good job on the Boots Randolf tune, Yakety Sax.

That’s unbelievable sooooo many parts wow , lovely looking watch

Beautiful my friend awesome job on restoring this magnificent iconic piece....70Š my couple tea, looks good on you..👍👍💙

Holy cow that's more complicated and complex a movement than I would dream possible. Outstanding work! It's a good thing I didn't see this kind of thing when I was a kid. I used to have a bad habit of disassembling things to see how they worked. I've seen this now and can say with supreme confidence this is beyond my comprehension.

Hi Joe I just got one of those to try and service my tinkering is coming on in leaps and bounds but I still need your videos to know what I'm doing wish me luck and answer my calls if I get stuck 🤣

I was trouble’s size in the 70’s but I love that you saved a quirky bit of history.

You are a complete watch encyclopedia!!!

Yes...skateboarding is such a quiet endeavor...I think the hammer alarm and skateboarding get on well together...don't you trouble...:) thank you sir I enjoyed this tutorial immensely...

👏👏👏Fantastic!!.. greetings from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

I just acquired this same watch, and am embarking on the service starting today! If it wasnt for this video, I would never be attempting it. Thank you for these funny and informative videos!

Really came out beautiful piece, and that alarm bell is so funky sounding, really cool!!!

Great video. Nice extinct specimen. Mr. Attenborough eulogy was hilarious. Greetings to the artist. It was a joy to hear her lovely voice. Blessings to your family and a very successful 2023.

Wonderful program,I watch as much as possible. Hat's off to you my friend great work . Good luck to the many more fixings.

I really enjoy your videos. I see the watch at the beginning and think to my self that is never going to work again and then the magic descends and bit by bit the muck and debris disappear the scratches recede and out pops a working time piece. Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful working 👌👍

GREAT TO HEAR TROUBLE, HE SOUNDS LIKE HE IS DOING WELL, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, TRY NOT TO STAY GONE SO LONG, TELL EVERYBODY HELLO, SEE YOU ALL NEXT TIME...( GOD BLESS )

You have always done such amazing work and I am sure that this will be no exception. I hope to see and hear Mr Troubles. God bless you all ❤🎉😊

that's a heckuva watch and a heckuva resto!

That shirtless sleeve made my day lol

You know i watch you cause things turning things, cant really help myself. I have seen someone else service a alarm watch on you tube but i enjoyed yours more. I find you very entertaining and thanks for the effort and for sharing it including the artwork.

Wow…that thing has a lot of parts. Pretty cool.

Best dad humour ever

love seeing and learning about wtches,Thanks for sharing your expertise .

Very complex design. Glad that I don’t have to reassemble, even if parts are laid out in order.

Thank you so much you are the best!

My first time watching you at work,wow! is all l can say. I had a Seiko Pogue Cronograph many years ago which could have used your tender touch but after replacing the winding crown 3 times(they kept snapping) l sold it to the watchmaker who did the repairs.
