Thank you for the information. It is more of a passion for me and I plan to have my own business in Branson, Missouri.
You are certainly correct on the amount of education, even beyond the classroom. I will specialize on Rolex and that, as you know, it a mountainous task in itself.
As far as our school, Oklahoma State University, we will leave with SAWTA, CW21 and a college degree in Watchmaking.
