Being a technically good watchmaker is one thing, but you also have to know how to run a business, and part of that is knowing when to say "no" to a job. I fully understand the temptation to "help someone out" and repair something that you know is going to be a nightmare, but that doesn't pay the bills. Sometimes it goes against the grain to turn down work, but you will be better off for it in the long run.
