Default Does this look legit? (online watch school)

So I'd love to learn how to make watches, and the only classes I can find are near Dallas. Maybe there's something closer that I've missed though (in Houston). I saw this online watchmaking school but couldn't find any reviews or anything. I guess it looks legitimate but all I know about watches right now is which ones I like. I have no idea how to make them.

Any suggestions? Maybe I'm just stupid and there's an easier way to do this in Houston, too. Any help about this or related topics would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi New001,

Appears you are new to life. I'm glad you come to us with your elementary problem. Here in the real world, adults who are unsure of a service they are going to pay for often request things called "references" or "testimonials" where they are given contact information from people who have already paid for the service in the past and can vouch for the quality of service they received. I hope this helps. If you have any other problems feel free to start new threads. have a nice day.
