Where is this offered ? Is there a website with a schedule ? Thank you in advance !

Man I wish they offered this down in South Texas but trying to convince my wife to take a vacation so I can take a class is a hard sell 😕

I wish we had a course like this in the Philippines so I could learn more about the watch industry. Even after working in this field for 8 years, I still want to deepen my knowledge and continue learning more about watches.🥹

I’ve been checking for stuff in S FL

Couldn't you rich Africa country ?Like kenya mombasa kindly.
