Restoring a casio edifice after a CRASH 

If I worked at Casio, I would send you two Certificates. One a "Certificate of Accomplishment", for doing something that was never meant to be done. And one a "Certificate of Foolishment" for doing something that was never meant to be done. Outstanding work, as always! 😎👍

There are still people in this world that still fix things. Amen.

😳😳 mate seriously, you have the patience of a saint, you went way above and beyond the norm to show us all something we’ll probably never see again. I admire your dedication to your craft and to bringing us all this amazing channel. It’s been a pleasure to watch as always.

Anyone else want to dive into the boxes and boxes of “spares” Joe has and then just choose one and get Joe to restore that? He must have some absolute treasures in those boxes waiting his time and skill. I would be like a kid in a sweet shop!

Really, really, enjoy your commentary during the videos. And “Trouble” the “little Watchmakers Apprentice” adds to the enjoyment. Please keep it up and we wishful watchmakers will keep enjoying your content.

I wonder if Casio will ever see this and say “That is not how it is done! Just order the parts from us.” Awesome job of doing what is not suppose to be done.

I have an ECB500 Edifice and this just gave me way more appreciation for what has essentially been a “beater” watch for me. This is glorious. What a craftsman! But more so, amazing micro engineering and ingenuity that goes into these mini miracles. Put tighter, truly fascinating video

The owner will appreciate your patience and restoration of his Casio watch.. Well done 👍

Your ability to educate and entertain is priceless,just like a science teacher that makes learning fun. Your content has given me almost enough knowledge to reassemble the watches I've disassembled into neatly organized piles of frustration. Look forward to each new video. Take care sentient being .

Must admit I thought for a minute you will dump that when the springs came out. But forgot that you will sort it one way or another. Love the WTF JOE bit by the way. Made me laugh. Wonderful job & it has now made me in the market for that watch. Cheers.

"so many springs, I don't even know where they go" I lost it 😂

These Quartz/digi hybrid are as engineering intensive as an automatic movement. As a mechanical design engineer I really appreciate these relatively cheap Casio masterpieces.

Like they say, teach your kids to make things, and they'll have a job forever. I envy you for having this talent and patience.

WTF JOE? Love it!

I would love to see the reaction from the owners of the watch when they receive it all cleaned up!!! Your amazing!!

"-I'm not trouble anymore" Lovely!

I’m like a kid going to the baseball game for the first time when you Start your warm ups.Every move you make is effortless and I think I hear music when your hands perform its rituals over the watch parts. You are the star of this game.

I don't mind if the new microphone is better or not. I don't mind what you do with the impossibly complex watch. I just love the wonderful commentary, the relaxed humor and the pleasure in your voice as you do what you enjoy. And love the kids in the background.

You just made my day...again. The accountant better be happy! Anyone who can get all those tiny springs back in without loosing them is a genius!!!

People like to disregard quartz movements, and yeah maybe having almost everything made of plastic isn't so hot, but still I found myself very appreciative of the amount of design and complication in this. It's surprisingly captivating. We like to think "Yeah it's all a battery and a computer", but when you see it disassembled like this, it really is obvious how much design went into it.

Wow, I've now got a new appreciation for quartz watches. Another masterful job Nekkid, I'm in awe of your skill and the care you take. God bless you and your family.

It makes me happy to see you repair things that the manufacturer never intended to be repaired. Well done!

Great video . Amazing that we can see a movement taken apart that is impossible to find otherwise. Thank you so much.

I think 30 years ago I (perhaps) could disassemble this watch. I know I could never put one together. This was the definition of the word talent. Amazing!

Yes. You really are a magician, a real craftsman. Glad to see your apprentice is progressing. 😄

@9m30s: "WTF JOE" Comedy !!

Thank you, watch wizard. I really enjoyed this repair. I'm just checking back through the occasional video that slipped through the net,and found this one. I apologise for not watching it as soon as it was released. I'll try to ensure that I don't miss any others.

You went above and beyond with this watch teardown. I have an almost identical one and was wondering how it's put together. Now I know. Excellent job and nice spelling out of a message to JOE.

Love the wtf joe. Also would have pat my shants when all the springs fell out!

Crazy... Already nearly 900 views in 18 minutes .Wow..👏👏👏. Apart from your obvious amazing expertise and skill , it must also be the Brummy dulcet tone that you have and your hint of sarcasm and dry wit.👍Congratulations...👏👏👏

Wow! With all those tiny parts and screws and springs, plus the small size of the movement itself, this Casio quartz looks a lot more difficult to take apart and reassemble than most mechanical watches. Nicely done!

Thanks for using your valuable time to fully disassemble this module and show us just how intricate and fragile the tiny bits are and how they all function together. Most "normal" people would just throw this type of watch in the bin and buy a new one! You're awesome!

Parts all laid out in uniformity ... WTF JOE - Gave me a belly laugh. I love the sense of humor .... singing “I may have bit off more than I can chew”. Chasing after those springs reminded me of my childhood at roundup, chasing after cattle in eastern Utah (Western State in USA) just when you have a handle on one, another would break away. Great video and had no problem with sound except where you said there would be a problem. 🥲😅🤣😂

"WTF JOE" 😊 you earned your pay on this one...

Nothing short of amazing, I love when you work on quartz watches, they are my favorite ... yeah I know... but we all have our quirks

This was a very scary disassembly. So many springs and parts. Gives you a new appreciation for the humble Casio brand. Another job well done mighty watchmaker! Fun to watch this video too.

Sir, I just want to say how much I admire your skill in working with all these tiny parts. With that said I would also like to commend you for your ability to generate extreme anxiety in the average person. Although I am like a deer in the headlights when it comes to watching your videos, I have visions of all the extra parts I have accumulated over the years from all my attempted "repairs". A screw here, a spring there... I am convinced that several unnecessary additional parts have been engineered into everyday items just to torment me when I try to "fix" them. But I persevere, and maybe one day my dream of having no extra parts will came true.

This amazing watch has been my daily driver for the last six years. So cool seeing the inside of it, thanks for sharing.

How dare you assume my atoms hahaha! The Casio Edifice line is sorely underrated! Nevermind the sound your personality makes up for any sound issues! Its extraordinary the amount of complexity these watches have!

I’m simply amazed when I consider that a watch like this was mass produced! How on earth did they assemble these watches??? Once again...remarkable work!

Never thought I see a Casio here but what a watch! And some serious skills you have!

It's 00:06 and I'm in my bed, ready to sleep and then the Nekkid Watchmaker posts a video......... sleep can wait (and the elbow in the ribs from my accountant will have to be endured!) good audio, I can even hear you over "her indoors" telling me to turn the light out!

my 'daily driver' is a black case, black dial casio lineage, solar, radio-controlled, five alarms, chrono, multiple timezones, countdown timer, three analogue hands & an LCD, waterproof to a thousand fathoms or whatever, weights about 4.5oz I think I paid £200. so when I saw you pull the breitling to bits, I was (I'm afraid to say) a bit "huh." the casio even looks better. now we can see that the standard of engineering inside the average 'cheap' casio is every bit as good too. excellent work, sir.

3:35 Mortal Kombat moment! Can't get enough of this channel 👍👍👍

The award for “most work put into a inexpensive watch” goes to...

That was one of the best watch repair videos I’ve seen. When you see it being stripped down, you realize that it’s an electronic marvel. Casio is a highly under-rated watch company. I will always have one or two of them in my collection because they work so well, and are very durable. I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming.

One word comes to mind whenever I watch your videos. Gifted and talented. I guess two words come to mind.

‘I’ve bitten off more than i can chew, but I’m quite good at chewing’ - what a quote bro!!

Hat's off to Casio for managing to mass produce something like that. The precision and tolerances involved in manufacturing that watch would make most average mechanical movements look like steam engines in comparison. Quartz watches like that deserve more respect. They are every bit as complicated as a mechanical watch, a lot more accurate and definitely more affordable .

How do they actually manage to mass produce such an intricate movement. You have to appreciate it for that alone.

I laughed so much with the "disassembly video" I was REALLY anxious, cause I bite more than I chew from time to time...but I´m not so good at chewing lol. Thanks a lot for your videos.

It's like a watch from another planet. There is a lot of stuff packed there, I have to take my hat off on Casio.

you sound like a good father and human being. Oh ya very talented too.

I just loved this one Nekkid! I am mesmerized by the detail of every part you disassembled. Do more of these really detailed ones. All of rhem are detailed but some are just that much more. Very very soothing and satisfying. Thank you! Ta Ta!

Mr Nekkid, you bloes me off and i like that you take your time to do some battery watches to! Ewery day after work i watch one or to of your great wideos. Wish i was young again but...! Always a pleasure to hear your soft war and comfortably woice and also you kid come and help you or trouble you. You are the best i found. Thanks Terje

Wow. Great work. It fascinates me how much parts there are inside these Casio Analog Digitals. Thanks for showing us the process.

I did enjoy seeing the in sides of this watch, I can't believe that you put it back together again. Thanks for showing this repair.

Not only are you a great watchmaker, you’re funny as hell!

This is true mastery of your skill. It's easier to work on bigger metal part's, but this ....... I lose my mind around 9 min in to video. All respect !!!

Thank you for yet another demonstration of your superb patience, skill and wit!

A repair guy with a sarcastic streak. I'm in.

Another mesmerising video and you are one brave man delving into such unexplored adventures in watch repair!

After watching your videos I finally plucked up the courage and set about fixing an old watch of mine I had in a drawer. Carefully I removed the strap and back and removed the winder. With a bit of patience I removed the mechanism from the watch case where it fell in to multiple pieces. From this I put the aforementioned pieces into a clear seal bag and put it all back in the drawer and went and cut the grass and cleaned the car.

I love it when you step outside your comfort zone a bit with a quartz watch. Nice to see a good brand like Casio get some attention. Thank you

An electrician friend once told me to “ buy a durable watch you won’t cry over if you break it” . I think he was thinking of the watch you just serviced. Seems like it is durable enough and in certain circumstances durable and inexpensive makes sense.

Hello dear watchmaker. Greetings from Costa Rica. As usual you leave me speachless. Always love the interaction with your boy jeje. I hope you keep bringing joy to all us with your wonder ful skils. May God keep you all safe.

What a tribute to your skills and patience. That was a real test which you passed with flying colors. It reminds me of the man who, walking down the street, saw a fellow beating his head against a stone wall. "Why are you doing that/" he asked. "IT feels so good when I stop", was the reply. That watch wasn't quite a stone wall, but repairing mechanical ones will probably seem less taxing. Your son is going to be awesome as he grows up and learns just how lucky he is to have you as a dad. The microphone was a bit quirky but not too bad. Cheers, Frederick "Rik" Spector

Who would strip down a watch like this? Can this be a task for a master watch maker? After this video it is most certain than only someone who really cares is able to do such an amazing overhaul. Nekkid Watchmaker, best watch-channel by far and worldclass entertainment.

Once again a wonderful repair so that the watch looks as good as new. I think it takes experience to be able to undertake such a repair. Well done to you and your apprentice.

Now thank you so very much. I am beginning to appreciate Quartz watches.

I am very impressed that you got that watch back together, especially after all those springs popped out. Nice job!

I am really depressed these couple of months and it is getting to me slowly day after day. I love watching your videos, keeps my mind off of things. I hope to be a watchmaker in my next life. thank you for entertaining me always.

Wow Brother. Hats off to you on this piece! "Casio grand complication" looked mighty intimidating and a pain in the tush.

How in god's grace did you manage to disassemble and reassemble that with out the full instructions. It took me 6 hours to put together a chest of drawers from IKEA and still had screw's over with the instructions.

I've seen everyone single of your videos. I like so much your way to explaine your work (no comments on the mic today!!), I love your child so much and I' really impressed with your skills!!!!! All the best, Nicola from Italy

Brilliant as always, don’t worry about not responding to people. You can’t do everything. I for one just appreciate the skill and work you put into your videos. Peace love and light to you.

Absolutely amazing, my fellow human being! What a crazy teardown! Didn't quite catch where all those springs went, but man! What a job well done 👍👍 And as always, thank you and God Bless 🙏

Oh! Take care of your magic fingers, they're uniques. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina

They can make digital watches and gadgets but what feeling u get with theys time pieces have no comparison theys just magic And I still wear them and love it

Each restoration is a piece of art in its own right.

"Quartz movements are less complex than mechanical movements" The Quartz movements:

You are an artist at his finest.

I am most impressed with your little helper in the background 👌

You are very amusing. I love your banter and calm soul.

The first minute's audio was heavenly -- I could actually hear you very well! Please continue using it!

I really love to watch and hear you work. Great job!

This reminds me of all the Seiko 7T32 and 7T34 quartz chronographs I service.... And then they ask me "why don't you just throw it away?" Nice work pal!

Tickles me to no end that "trouble" follows you and has such a seeming interest in learning your skill. The world could use more like you, good sir. Thx for the vid!

“Get over here!” I’ll call you Scorpion from now on

You look and think: "Some magic!" But in fact, these are the "golden hands" of the master!

What can i say you just used your incredible master skills to clean and repair an awsome watch...something i can only wish to obtain in this lifetime...well done dude

Brilliant, you should contact Casio, and ask for a tour of their facilities, it would be interesting to see how they do this. But I can bet its not as much fun as watching you do it. You have inspired me to go out and fix my lawnmower, at least I can see the parts. I'll make a video of me buying a new one from B&Q when I mess it up. LOL

I love your videos and your enthusiasm. It is almost unbelievable that someone with the skill to restore a vintage Cartier would tear down a damaged Casio just for the experience of doing it. And when you took the quartz movement down to bare components, you put yourself on another level. Surely the Great watchmaker in the sky smiles down on you.

Truly love your channel! It’s fascinating work and something I wish I could do. The reward of being able to restore these pieces from start to finish would be amazing... thank you for the content and for your wisdom I love your sense of humor lol. Hope you are having a great day!

That was amazing. You opening a Casio watch, so all of us can see what is inside it. Thank you so much. Great video.

Glad to see a (ana) digital quartz watch get some love and care.

As usual, entertaining, educational artistry! Keep these wonderful videos coming!

I now call my lady The Account, and my kid Troublemaker, lol.

I REALLY ENJOY THIS VIDEO.VERY NICE WORK YOU DON MAN.I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.SO MANY TINY PARTS YOU DISASSEMBLE AND ASSEMBLE LOOKING IMPOSSIBLE BUT YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE.JUST SUPERB.

Braver man than me! I think I could have managed he strip. I have rebuilt engines with less parts. I have never thought about watches until your I watched you work. Love the content and the commentary
