Due to increased demand of timepieces...
...instead of complaining about 'shortages', has anyone here thought about or started school to become a watchmaker?
Alas, my hands are not steady enough for such work :(

Nah. Just collecting other interesting brands. I can’t imagine the surgeon like steadiness one would require to mess with these tiny machines.

I am a micro-surgeon and have dabbled in dial painting before for fun. Id happily work with a skilled watchmaker for a bespoke creation.
Old surgical saying: you can teach a monkey how to operate but teaching him when not to is the challenge. This monkey knows enough to not start this endeavor :) |

I thought about it. If Bulova still had the school in NY I would. The closest one to me is in Lilitz PA. It's too far and will take too long for it to be reasonable for me. Oh well, I'll just have to stick to being waitlisted.
