OCD kickin in

I just bought my first Rolex which is a 1968 Date Just SS/Gold with Jubilee bracelet. I'm starting to get interested in watches in general and find myself searching the sites for pics and information. I'm wondering if any of you have taken any online watch making courses and what you think of any that you know about.

The one I'm looking at costs about $50.00 for the course and I think $150.00 or a kit with tools and watch to build. Thanks for the input.

There are members here who are extremely technically minded such as "Ironstark" and "Vanessa". Stay put here and you can learn a LOT from them if you want more info about the insides of a Rolex.

That's the one I'm looking at. Cost of course, tool kit, and movement is about $340.00 Total.

Looks like fun. I've been looking at it for a couple of weeks. Think I'll sign up tonight.

I say go for it as well.

Sounds like a great course to take.
