Hi everyone

Another update I have been come back from a short trip back home. And also had an accident and spent a few days in the swiss hospital. And I have made an hour wheel for the 6498 movement also passed my winding stem exam so Its been a busy time were also soon starting to move into the watch repair side learning the gear train. Also been looking for the next course to go on.

Hope everyone has had a great summer
Thanks
Joe.

Hi Roff thankfully not but I think I need to take some cycling lessons second time I have fell of my bike over hear lol
Just this time I hit my head on the ground so they kept me in hospital for two days because they thought I was bleeding near my kidney thankfully after some test and scans they said I was fine. But I think Im going to keep of the bike until I have finished my course. Hope you are well and you had a good summer. :)

Maybe you need a cycling proficiency exam next, Joe! :poke: :lol:

In all seriousness, I'm really glad you're OK. Superb updates by the way, and it's awesome to see someone do a job that a lot of us would do as an unpaid hobby if we had the skill.

Haha Thank you Driver8 I think I do need that course lol. And yes I am fortunate to be able to do this as a job and get paid for doing what I love. But I am hoping when I set up the workshop for my employer I can add some things that will be able to show customers what we do and that we don't just change batteries and why it takes so long for a service turnaround.

Welcome back Joe! Nice work as usual. Keep it up. 8)

As for your biking accident, keep that up too. More practice the less you'll fall. :wink: :poke:

It's great seeing someone else so young already on the watchmaking path! I must say, I am very jealous of your ability to attend watchmaking school - I've just started reading your updates and they're very interesting. Keep it going
