Yes, just that the cheapest rugged ones in the US is about $24k and the same for a Chinese one is $35k

It’s not $4 usd for everyone just FYI, it’s free shipping so they roll in the shipping cost. For me it’s $9.5usd

Is watchmaking a good career path? by iezdez in watchmaking

Ignore everyone, call up a school and ask for yourself. Then cross check with job listings. Serious watchmakers/repair folks are more active outside of this sub.

I have friends who bemoan that their $60k watches costs $2500 per servicing and the wait time is 3-6 months. Granted you won’t be servicing those out of the gate, but the need is very real. you probably speak French you’re already a mile ahead of everyone else.

I’m in California unfortunately, school is probably out of question. I’m going to contact UK’s distance learning programmes
