The movement done right comes at an extreme premium, and it will serve to do the same thing as ETA limiting the supply. The day of getting automatic movements anywhere near the prices that they have in the past will be long forgotten. The day of being able to easily make a profit off of throwing watches together is going to be gone, and the cream will rise to the top. Have to cull out with the legislation that is going to go into affect and ETA, times they are a changing. The Internets affect and other factors is something that the industry would react to.
You want my advice if you want a watch that has a Sel. movement that looks and functions like this one, BUY IT NOW. As ETA continues to limit the number of movements and the increase of production of base movements from Sel. movements will mirror the Prices of the industry. Remember you are dealing with people that have all done business together for years and share the same value system and think alike. You are dealing with a culture that is tight and this is like brothers or sisters fighting in the end more profits can be achieved by all of the companies if they work together. ETA needs Sel. to make movements in high numbers or they will be in contempt of court for anticompetitive business practices when they make the next moves that they are going to make.
