Otto Frie is pretty honest

I am learning about movements, buying them, etc. So I went to Otto Frei's website and found this caveat (I used color to add emphasis):
If you are not a watch repairperson you have no rights or sane reason for purchasing a movement. Before rocket science was a science watches were considered man’s finest most delicate machines to date. Watch movements should not be handled by anyone who is not prepared to repair it or pay a trained professional to find and fix the problem. Those who have never worked with watches before and think they can install a movement in a watch case, without any training or professional help, well you better be prepared to buy 3 or 4 movements or at least pay some one to repair the first one you broke.
Basically, he's saying, "Rob, you have no right to even look at this page". I think he's right! I think I'll just ship all my broken watches to Bob and have him fix them for me.
