Restoring someone else’s mess -RARE 1970s Heuer carerra CALIBER 15 - buren micro rotor 

Joe , I’m sorry to hear your hurting . The joy in your voice has gone and it breaks my heart . The world as we know it has been forever changed . The cruelty we display towards one another is unforgivable. Please know that my heart and soul also are in pain and have been for several years now. We as humans have been hurtling towards this destiny and it seems that it isn’t getting better but worse . Thank you for your videos and kind words . Even though you are hurting you still bring joy to so many . ❤

What an opening monologue! And then a mind-blowing finale. Magnificently put Brother!

Your calm voice, sounds of children playing and warmth provides encouragement to all who watch your videos. Please stay healthy.

fellow EARTHLING, now I have stopped crying my comment has dissolved, I can only say thank you so much for showing the world how good a human can be, you are kindness and love personified, go viral and infect the world please ! brother, I love you and thank you,!

If only you could tinker the world Joe, blessings, a wonderful restoration. Maybe one day humanity will be restored as beautifully as you have restored this time piece. Keep your head up mate. Your videos bring happiness and joy to many. Thank you. 🙏🏼 ❤

Your comments at the ends of your videos are always the highlight for me. You show us the heart of the man behind the beautiful restorations. Thank you.

Beautiful restoration. Crying my eyes out at the end. I didn't expect that. Sending my love.

There are very few RU-vid videos I “save for later” but when I see a new one from this great man I wait patiently until I am sitting down, in a quiet place, without disturbances and immerse myself in his world. You are a balm to the daily machinations of life.

You are a good good man, your voice brings peace to my soul, A lot of people could use your voice. Thanks for sharing, much love and prayers to you and your family!!

Thank you for another opportunity to watch a kind, sensitive and creative gentle man share his awesome talents with us all! Blessings to you for all you do/are. ❤🙏🙏🙏❤

Thank you for lending your voice to those folk who are unable to speak up. Bless you, Joe.

Not all tinkerers are equal it seems. That's a pretty shoddy effort. It's good to see it treated with the respect it deserves. We can only hope that all of humanity one day learns to treat each other with similar levels of dignity and respect. Take care brother ❤

I don't comment much on any channel. But having watched yours for some time it just gets better and better. Your general approach at the start is calm, collective and only going in one direction. The finish. You certainly are an exception. Thank you.

44:48 man have saw few other videos from you restoring watches and…. These final words were just powerful may all the good people like you fill us who see and listen fill brave enough to facing these crazy world where we all are part of be kind to each other peace ☮️ and good health to you and all your family! Obrigado from Portugal 🇵🇹!

Thank you brother, my heart is with you. Love and light to you and everyone hurting during these awful times.

I love watching your videos as seeing these watches healed is so satisfying. However, for me it's your voice and incisive and truthful comments that make them compulsive viewing. Stay strong Nekkid!

Watching a father with his boys doing what he enjoys is almost hypnotic

Joe another great restoration of a beautiful watch. Many in this world are feeling the pain that you are right now. I can’t believe the level of cruelty that people can inflict on each other. Take care my friend.

Thanks for another great video Joe. I can understand your melancholy due to all the conflicts happening. I shall add my hopes to your prayers for a cessation of hostilities. We can only hope the world will come to it's senses soon. Cheers for sharing your amazing restorations. Keith

You have made me laugh and cry in equal measure but the ending left me broken hearted. There will be justice Joe, stay strong my friend.

Joe, please know you’re not alone in this place of sadness. Best wishes to you and yours. Let’s hope these mindless actions, on whichever border or land they happen, will cease soon. God bless.

Sheer class. Always blown away by your craftsmanship, patience and knowledge.

My best to you. You were up for the challenge on this watch and overcame the obstacles! So in this world. The pendulum will swing back and Hope will Prevail. Thank you for your voice and your caring spirit 🌷

My father served in the 2nd para’ out in Palestine in 1945. He witnessed some terrible scenes that made it almost impossible for him to speak about; scenes that are being replicated on an even more horrific scale now. The root of all this evil imho is religion, and the inability of people of different beliefs to accept each other as friends and not enemies. At least however your impeccable skill shines a bright light on the watch world 👏🏻

Heartbreaking, I’m in tears. Thank you Joe for your voice and compassion and the basic human dignity that so many seem to the lacking. ❤

A complex watch, fascinating to see how you bring it back to life and beauty. But your thoughts and the song at the end left me in tears. I see this stuff; see those children and the terror, destruction they're living through, and it rips my heart to pieces. I'm with you 100%, and I have no solutions to offer. Helpless in the face of such cruelty and sadness I feel. I understand you find it hard to speak, and you're exhausted. Know that you are not alone, that many like me stand together with you, struck dumb and bereft. :(

Peace and blessings to you. You're a light in a grim world. Thank you.

Fantastic work, Joe! In such a crazy world, I find peace with your restorations. Just keep up with what you are doing and find your peace also.

that intro killed me man, you need to put up a warning or something before these god tier comedy monologues. now my expensive tea is all over my inexpensive shirt

Wonderful restoration! Thank you! PAX, Joe!❤

This watch has so many components.The wayit was designed and manufactured is amazing.Well done sir you have done a top class rebuild on a lovely complex time piece.

Just beautiful work as we have come to expect from you.

My friend, please take whatever solace you can in knowing that you make the world a better place.

I love your work. Thank you. As a viewer I can feel how these sad events are impacting you, I wish you strength.

Incredible craftsmanship. You really are a master of your trade and I’m sorry you’re hurting. The capacity for humans to hurt each other is, has been, and likely always will be, immense.

I want to cry but I can't. I must make the best of each day because I am so much better off. Maybe one day... Wonderful work on that old chronograph. Soothes the troubled mind.

you are a remakable humanbeing. offering a moment of relief and quiet from the insanity, without shutting your and our eyes for what's going on. spreading peace and love along the way. bless you for being you.

Always the innocent that suffer. Great restoration. Thanks.

*Kia ora (hello) Joe 🙂 Thank you for another inspiring video and returning this watch back to how it started out all them years ago. 🙂Continue to be well & safe 🙂All the best to you & your family in 2024 & beyond 🙂NZ*

That naughty Tinkerer sure put that beautiful watch through a prolonged and brutal torture session. If that watch could talk it would say Thankyou So Much Joe. Awesome work as usual brother. Thanks for sharing & God Bless.

Ah, Joe. I have no words.💔💔 I can't make a joke as usual in these comments. Your pain is flooding from my screen and I can feel it in my own heart. I cannot say any more without breaking down.💔💔💔

Seriously man, your expertise and handiwork is beyond next level - I think that's what makes your videos stand out from the crowd, pure original content. 🏆

Weather you are a arab or jew a brit or a german a ruskie or Ukrainian a yank or japanese african or taiwan we all bleed red in the end so peace and love to you all .❤❤❤❤

Our hearts are broken as well Joe. This may not be our families, but for all of us parents, these are our children. Give Trouble and the rest of the children a hug for us, for your not alone. Peace ☮️

Big love to you and family, brave man for taking a stand. Loved your vids for years, even though I would never dare go near a mechanism 😂 Makes me happy that someone out there shares in my desperation at what is going on today 👍

You are a wise and compassionate man Joe. It's hard to find solace in a world so full of hate and greed. Maybe one day we will all live in peace, we have to keep hope alive.

Another top tinkering job. When your family is under threat huddle together and support the others. Perfectly sound. Put as much love in your vids as you want, we already know your watches get it in spades 🙂

You are the best. It's great to see a master at work.

Great talent, gifted guy and great person. Thanks for your vids ❤

I’m new to watch repair. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Sending prayers to you and your family.

Dear Joe. My Omega Seamaster is an automatic chronograph from 1966 or so l've been led to believe. God bless you & thanks for your calm karma man.

Is there anyway you can post in your introduction when trouble will make an appearance he lightens everyone’s day we love the little man, the future of watch making!

Joe, I wish I had words to comfort you, your family and everyone in Israel/Palestine during these trying times. When hate is met with hate between governments and ideologies, it is always the innocent that suffer. There are no good guys or moral high-grounds in war...only those who are left. The ugly side of human nature rears its head all too often when simple words and love could carry us all beyond this. Through your art, you bring a sense of peace to so many trying to make sense of the senseless. Thank you for sharing your little corner of the world with those everyone. We may be different, but we are also the same. May peace, love, and forgiveness fill all our hearts.

I enjoy your videos a lot, and this one really touched me. I hope for peace everyday. I also hope that you and yours are well.

Joe, as you know ive followed you for quite a while now & always comment on your work but today is about you, what a warm & wonderful person you are, you never cease to amaze me sir, keep up your good work & keep on being you, these world " leaders" could take a tip from you !

Indeed we are in a sad world. As far as the trade, it was mine in the '60s and 70's. I would NEVER attempt this. Just goes to show there are repairers (me) and craftsmen, you. What an honour to watch you. I too pray for peace.

❤ peace and love from Australia. We hear you. You are on the love side of history my brother.

🙏🙏Thank you Brother for the last part of this awesome video, tears in my eyes🙏🙏

Joe your close up shots have somehow become just beautiful. Sending you my fellow “tinkerer” much love in these difficult times.

Beautiful version of our precious song. You are a great human being, greetings from Athenry.

Thank you brother, my heart is also broken, my tears are cried but we put faith in the all mighty, tighten our belts and stand up for what is right. Regards and greetings to you and your family 🍉

Beautiful work as always on a great watch. Thanks for giving us a break from the world and it's problems. I know your heart is broken. I will pray for it to heal!

Well! Amid all of the hurly burly of life on this planet, it amazes me how you remember where all of the bits and parts go when you disassemble and then put the thing back together. I think your world as a watchmaker is very complex and awe inspiring. Live long and prosper earthling.

Thanks Joe and God Bless you and your family

Perfect restoration and perfect speech, god bless you and you family. You are good Man.

Mate, that’s stunning! Excellent job!!!

I genuinely get a significant frisson when I see your video pop up in my feed. One love brother.

Joe, thank you for your talent and heart. Prayers to all and a wish for peace.

Your the best Joe! God bless you and your family! All we take with us from this life is our good deeds..may you be elevated in this life and the next. love the movement it looks amazing great work

I've never shed a tear for a watch repair video before this. May we find peace and justice soon!

Love this, Joe. It seems your talent is only matched by your heart. Warmest regards to you and your family. #freepalestine

Joe, the tears won't stop flowing. Thanks, man and peace to us all across the world.

As they ran me down... I got up again and threw more stones. The tears running down the hands of a chronograph, speeding up time to an end to suffering, resetting the time to an era of peace. Hope! Thank you for your videos.

That was nothing short of amazing, absolutely the best I have seen. Chills on my spine. Keep the faith, I can promise the world will be a much better place for yours and all of the other young ones in spite of what is happening now.

Thank you watching your work brings solace. I like the accidental painting you made at 41:36.

Thanks for your great videos Peace and love, from a once free Canada When will the masses wake up to the truth and reality ?

Hey Joe. I'm a huge fan. At the end of your restoration of the 18k IWC you said, walk on with hope in your heart. Are you a Liverpool FC fan? Also, how does one hire you? My mother bought me a Cartier basculante manual wind ref. 2390 for my birthday. She decided to have it engraved for me. Rather than engravingit, he laser etched my initials so that they came up upside down when the watch was inverted. In an attempt to grind it out he made a mess of the back of the case. It also runs fast, but I believe that can be adjusted, because I believe he serviced the watch when he had it. I would live to hire you and it would make a great video due to the mechanics of the case. My mother and I love you content and we both thank you for being such a lovely man at a time when the world really needs that. ❤️

Just needed to rewatch...see the pun.... Needed to hear your voice and sarcasm 😂 hope you are doing ok I'm thinking and praying for you...all the best from South Africa.❤

Thanks for your beautiful restoration work, and your words of peace.

Thankyou for this calming and moving recording, your message at the end is worthy of being carried into the world. I was once quite an optimistic person regarding politics and political solutions I confess I am not that person any more as I see mans inhumanity to man go on an on without change. thank you again for your calmness and gentle wisdom.

rare movement, yet you can find all the parts needed. YOU, Sir, have an amazing connections network. 👍

If only briefly, but not fleeting you bring a serenity into our lives. Your wonderful voice and reflective thoughts, amplify the pleasure of sharing your constructive activity. Thank you. Take in positive energy poured out before you in the comments below. Let it lift your heart in these dreadful destructive times. Let us return in small pieces the peace your bring to us.

What a beautiful high grade movement … serviced an repaired by the right hands♥️

Magnificent work for a magnificent watch that is not out of date at all!

So moved. The delight we all feel watching your awesome skills bring the sadness and despair into vivid, shocking focus. Keep reminding us. Keep making us think. Who would've thought watch restoration could be a vehicle to advocate peace. I'm so glad it is.

Stunning photography - so clear and close up.

I am from India, your way of repairing watches is very beautiful, amazing and artistic, I am impressed by you.

Hai nekkid watch man, i am truly fan off your work and even more off your words, they inspire me, i hope they will stop the fight soon

Love the water melons!

Those images at the end made me cry. May peace be upon us all humans of good will.

Joe I wish one day you can pass on your phenomenal skills to your sons as this may be a dying craft please stay positive in this world of chaos my friend and keep up the excellent work

You've done a great job on that piece Joe. I wouldn't have had the intestinal fortitude to even tackle that job.

Lovely restoration. And the excruciating but so necessary scenes att the end. Thank you. So many all around the planet share your frustration and helplessness. We march and try to educate but that's all we can seem to do as witnesses to genocide.

God bless, and keep us mindful of others.

Superb restoration as always with superb photography 👍

Every war ends with two people negotiat a contract. So… why don’t we skip the war part and jump directly to the end?

I have nothing to do with watches except I like wearing them. After watching your vid on the Citizen Eco-Drive in a very bad state. I bought one on E-Bay for about 300€ and spend another 300 + changing all the looks and a new movement. Now I have this beautiful watch that I love dearly. What I`m saying is that watching your vids, not only is it so much fun and relaxing it also gave me a deep love for watches and what they are about. Thanx for that good man. I think this was more work than the CARTIER SANTOS and the Citizen Skyhawk Eco Drive.

Love the channel. Unbelievable skills. 🍉

Sending love Joe ❤

Peace and love. Positivity and creativity, who we are is defined by what we do
