    Swatch group parts supply ending - repercussions for independent repairers, and us.

    Assume it's common knowledge that the Swatch Group are stopping supplying parts to independent watch repairers - Christian at WatchGuy has posted about it here:

    Obviously that's not good news for independents, but will it have any effect on you? I have a small collection of vintage watches - although only one left that has an ETA movement which I will no longer be able to get serviced by the look of it. So for me it sounds like I won't be buying any more vintage pieces that have movements that originate from within the Swatch Group - which includes anything with an ETA in it. Feels a massive shame to me - just wondered what the opinions of the forum are.
