Hello

[Zozzle]

I'm Zozzle. I'm an apprentice watchmaker here in America. I'm gonna try to leave everything vague about myself and my shop. We can restore anything from TImex battery changes to restoring Patek grand complications that have been water damaged and then hit with a hammer.

My mentor can answer and fix anything given to him. At some point I will be able to do the same. Let me see if I can share some of my knowledge.

Hi Zozzle, Thanks for dropping by.  I am sure that you are doing very well in the apprenticeship and have an excellent mentor. I am just a Jobber Fixer. There are some very skilled people on this forum so all good wishes.

I don't believe this is quite the way you should introduce yourself. There are people here who are masters and people who are just beginning to learn.

All are welcomed here whatever there skill level. All are treated the same.  You well may be able to teach us a thing or two, however you should disseminate your knowledge by answering questions posed by members asking for help. . You will soon be looked to for advice, if your good.

How about letting us decide on our own if we can learn from you.

Welcome to this friendly Forum where we respect every one & there level of skills.

Welcome to this friendly forum. I must say I am not that keen on how you have introduced yourself. I think you need to be a little bit friendlier and kind.

the term zozzle has quite an interesting usage on the internet and reaction to it does not seem positive.  

which appears to be the impetus for the posting in the first place.

Welcome to the forum, it's great to see young guys starting out in their horology career - I wish you all the very best in your training. It's all about sharing knowledge and so you seem to have the right idea.

Incidentally, and don't be offended by this ... would you like me to change your username to something less... childish, if so please fire me a PM?

I have looked urbandictionary.com and it reports:

1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
2. morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
3. acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

I have not idea if that's correct.

The original thread title was 'eyo'

Looks like that was interpreted to us old folk as 'hey you' - I changed it to a more polite 'hello'

Okay uh.. let me rephrase everything. 

This is the first "serious" watch forum I've been too. I'm surprised there are so many watchmakers here. 

I know quite a lot, but I will spend my entire life learning. Hopefully I can pick up some knowledge here.

If you want to learn about clocks as well as watches. I can help you with that. I have around 30 years experience with both.
