I hear a lot of you talking about ETA movement.

Great movements, but buy them up while you can.

Swatch Group will cease selling their movements to just anyone.

There's enough movements in the secondary market to keep most home hobbiests happy though.

The Swatch Group, and The Wilsdorf Foundation (Rolex) will not sell parts/movements to pretty much everyone.

These practices are killing the watch repair industry, and making fools out of anyone who buys a quality watch.

Certain supply houses (Cousins UK) are fighting the monopolistic behavior, but the lawsuits are going nowhere.

So that custom watch, with the ETA movement is really not yours if you can't buy parts for the movement.

Our government (USA) knows about the problem, but has bigger fish to fry?
