 I have no idea DM71 where you are getting the idea that Swatch is going to stop selling etas?....they are only going to stop selling the blanks better known as Ebauches but will continue selling complete movements!....the Sellita is just another copy now....use the search engine here on 3T to do a little research...this discussion about Sellita and eta is old news here hand6.gif

ETA has not only fullfiiled all orders through 2009... they have more than enough to go around through 2010 and will continue to sell complete eta movements outside of Swatch Group after 2010....they just don't want anyone getting hold of their blanks so they can complete them with Asian parts and give the company a bad name! ...now this may be bad news for many Swiss companies that have built their own Calibers on eta ebauches because they will now have to buy complete movements if they are outside of the Swatch Group so there are many companies developing their own movements to be able to stay competetivewatch2.gif
