The aspect of shame is that he sounds like an Aussie.
“She’s certainly a tight one to come off”.
For the first part, he’s not removing the hands and dial which are always the first to remove. Which will lead to the second error which will lead to all his other totally erroneous functions.

I suppose lots of uneducated people have pulled apart watches but this bloke actually uploaded this under the name of Doctor Watch.
He’s buggerised around with no idea of the parts or their nomenclature and it takes him at least ten minutes to realise that the hands and dial should have actually come off first.roughbarked said:

It is like 15 minutes before he gets really weird and still hasn’t worked it out that he’s wasting his yours and my time.

I’m no watchmaker, and the only thing i’ve ever really done with a clockwork mechanism was to unstick a mainspring that had become gummed up with dust and moisture and gunk over the years.
But, blimey, even i could work out that, to seriously attack the innards, you’d take the hands off before your wreck them. Twenty second of looking at it before you get stuck in would tell you that.

He went off video and came back at the 25th minute with the problem solved. This is after he risked breking all the wheels.
Then he realises that he’s broken almost everything.

Haven’t seen the video yet.
Why is he doing it, anyway?
‘Doctor Watch’
As in, “Doctor, watch me wreck this timepiece”.

I’m sure you could pull this watch apart without breaking things before you look.

He thinks he has subscribers who want to watch.

Well it was once.
That does not suggest that a craftsman could not have restored it to its former glory though.

Just browsed through the video.
All he did was destroy it. It wound up in much the same state as it would have if hit with a hammer.
He remarked at one pint that ‘all the screws are different sizes’, but i doubt that he had any idea as to which hole required which screw.Complete lack of respect for the mechanism.
Comparison: this bloke

His biggest mistake which was made even more apparent after he did take the dial off was that the centre wheel of any watch cannot come out without removing the canon pinion. Which up until around 1920 had to have the pin tapped through with a small hammer. He was levering away with big screwdrivers all the while and he never shows how he eventually got it out.

The Nekkid watchmaker sounds a tad Oirish?

Should have watched this with the sound off as it didn’t match the video anywhere.

Now I figured out that there was another video soundtrack going. This is a silent video.
I have no idea why he put the broken watch crystal on his fancy machine and then magicked up a new(old stock) crystal with sticker still attached.

it was a joke, that machine was a flux capacitor from back to the future. he went back in time and fixed the glass.

I actually had access to a whole cabinet full of those but the original watchmaker claimed them when the shop went down.

With time travel available to him, he may well have been the ‘original’ watchmaker.
