I took this photo of a bronze watch that I built from parts ordered on AlieExpress. Aside from the unexpected "Seiko" brand appearing on the dial*, I'm quite happy with this. I reckon I'm good enough at this that I can start building watches for others.

*It was dismaying to have that logo appear on what was shipped, but I've since learned to avoid anything labeled "S logo" on that site.

The problem is not people being uneducated. The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.
