 Trying to get past John V.'s blow-up here (some people are their own worst enemies), I'd like to get some balanced reaction to this thread from the Unofficial Doxa Forum.  I don't know enough about how the watch industry works to know whether this is, pardon the dramatic language, the smoking Chinese gun or no big deal.

I have nothing but admiration for small and one man watch companies in this age of mega corporations.  I have wondered what will happen to many of these companies if Swatch/ETA really radically restricts the sale of their movements.  Will this mean that many companies will be considered "Chiropean" or whatever ?

Again, not trying to stir the pot, but trying to get a perspective from a group of folks who are not still in the venting mode which I believe will eventually turn to serious, meaningful dialogue.

Thanks in advance. Oskar, please delete this if you think it inappropriate.
