Why dealer pre-serviced watches aren't possible

This was in my todays newspaper.

Translated it states: Watchmaker without arms: "Whang Jianhai (28) is fixing watches in a shopping mall in Peking. He does it in a special way namely with his feet. He learned fixing watches with his feet 5 years ago when he lost his arms due to an electrical shock. In China there are 83 million people with a disability...of which 22,6 milion have a job."

No offence but I don't see this guy servicing an Asian 7750 :bangin:

Really? My guess is he is probably up there in the ranks of The Zigmeister. He probably goes that extra mile and puts 110% into the job. Unlike some North American who would probably go on disability and complain about how little they receive from the welfare system. Just my two cents.

What I find especially impressive is that the brain of a 23-years-old guy can take just 5 years (and possibly much less, not stated in the arcticle) to re-configure itself to use feet in place of hands.

If he was a newborn or a baby, ok, surprise but no great wonder. But this way it is really impressive.

That's a really inspiring story... I don't even want to think about what it would feel like if I lost both of my arms... but he lived it and bravely continued to serve his craft. This is a young man who suffered a tremendous tragedy and instead of moaning, complaining or 'taking the easy ways out' he developed a unique talent that could become very fruitful to him once perfected. I definitely would not mind him working on any one of my timepieces.

Seems I've observed lazy, indolent people willing to rely on govt handouts from every continent. They always seem harder working when they're in your country but they've always got plenty of lazy brethren back home, same as anyplace else. Just MY two cents.

Is that a knock against us Americans? I'm sure that there are many worldwide, not just North Americans, who would do what you just implied.....my 2 cents.
