Am I the only one who is bothered by the fact they're not in the order from sun outward? ;)

Doesn't matter if you lost money doing it and it took 3x longer, it was worth it! 

commented on Wedding watch. ·

Unfortunately I was not as well versed in watches when I was married about 5.5 years ago. I requested my fiance buy me an Arvo watch, which, while it looks okay, is really a pretty cheap piece and lacking severely in quality. I'd like to replace it/get rid of it, but I'd feel guilty since it was a wedding present from my wife.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, I feel a bit more at ease!

commented on Has anyone taken watchmaking courses? ·

I've bought some tools and a movement to start out, because if I can't swing that on my own, it's unlikely paying for a course is going to be worth my time/money. I emailed Chris (head watchmaker) at AnOrdain, and he provided some guidance on some available courses (see image).
