My standard where got so high to conduct all this... I am just a normal folk wif a normal job....

[Bergeon]

i will be seriously looking into this workshop and training program and hope to draft out a program comprising both theory and practical. but everyone must understand that a career in watch repairing in the local context can only make you a miserable 1200 to 3000 in an authorised service center so its best if everyone can approach it with a hobbyist mindset seeking to understand and appreciate more about what you dream of, think of and work for everyday - the ROLEX watch.

Me on!
