Are We Going To Be Affected By Etas Decision?

Recommended Posts

I figure this is old news but I was recently reading this:

ETA has announced that it will stop selling movements to unauthorized manufacturers and assemblers. However, European Union competition rules prohibit this action from taking place until 2011

I was wondering if this is gonna affect us at all... Will we stop seeing ETA movements in our reps around then? Anyone know whats going on about this? Is there another movement out there better than ETA if this truely does happen?

We already ARE affected !

It started with mixing Swiss and Asian parts together to build movements, then the chinese

established some own movements based on swiss movement designs.

Meanwhile they're replicating the whole movements including ETA hallmarks...

So impossible to know where your movement came from originally, if it is mixed parts movement

or completely Asian.

Ok, that's a little bit exagerated - but just a little bit - we HAVE a clue what we get because experienced

members like Ziggyzumba examine the movements and can tell mostly how they're made and build

together.

But I'm sure ETA movements will disappear sooner than some of us expect - the question is: will we

realize it immediately ?

<_<

It is already affecting us. People are stockpiling ETA movements, creating a false scarcity. It's the reason all this "Asian ETA" controversy has risen.
