I'm going to look out for you Joe when you become your own brand. Just make sure to give me a nice discount on one of your pieces. :wink: Congrats on the progress and kudos to an awesome experience to meeting Philippe.

Hello once I have finished I am doing after sales servicing for a shop in the uk Sheffield. Hopefully when I have finished this course I want to get breitling,Rolex, Patek Phillipe training and other brands if possible hopefully it should be because I am 16 so I have a lot of time. Thank you. :)

Great photos, keep up the good work. Your parents must be very proud to have a son that has real goals and doesn't just play video games!
