Howdy,

I'm Pap3r from South Africa. I am a Mechatronics student that recently found interest in watchmaking, repair and tinkering. Started the hobby beginning of 2023. 

I have sadly found out that watchmaking in South Africa is a dying industry, with many supply shops moving onto jewelry supplies and no longer stocking any watch supplies. Once it's been sold, it will never be restocked again.  

The number of veteran and true watchmakers (not those ones that changes batteries or do simple watch crystal replacements at the mall or jewelry shop) are slowly dwindling due to age and other factors. 

I hope to learn and grow in this hobby, albeit a bit expensive on the student budget. So please do look after me, my fellow watch tinkers. 

Thanks a lot.

Kind Regards,

Pap3r
