Hello everyone,

new beginner from Zurich, happy to join this friendly forum.
I always had a passion for mechanical watches but only recently understood what I really like about them.
It's the clever ingenuity of their hearts!
Thanks to Mark's videos, I developed a genuine passion for watch mechanisms and finally subscribed to his courses to learn the basics.
I procured the movement suggested as training platform and some basic tools.
I will go through the material of the course a couple of times and then start to do some damage!

Despite leaving in one the right countries for watchmaking, I don't have at this moment the chance to attend any apprenticeship or course in person (german is also a roadblock for me!).
Therefore, I find the combination online course + access to a skilled community the right approach for my personal needs.
All my efforts will go towards gaining experience and improving hands-on skills.
I've already got some useful hints and explaination from the community: I hope I will be soon able to give back.

Thanks Mark and all of you for the support you already provided at the beginning of this journey of mine!

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
