Again Eeeb you are eluding to Swatch/ETA stopping sales of complete eta movements outside of the Swatch Group and this has not been verified by anyone as of yet...only that the eta ebauches or otherwise called blanks or base movements will not be sold to manufacturers who in the past have completed these w/asian partshand6.gif The quartz movement you are talking about is a movement used in chronometer grade watches such as the Breitling B-1,Rolex OysterQuartz etc... Seiko/Citizen also have a similar movement they use in their higher end lines...below is a link to most of the brands using this quartz movement and there is much info on this subject on the web.You will find that for the most part most WIS are more into Mechanical/automatic movements as a whole and although there are forums especially for quartz lovers you won't find much discussion of them here as of yet nor do I see this in the near future imho:)watch2.gif

Interesting. The fallout from ETA's decision to concentrate on supplying fellow Swatch group companies continues...
It appears only Swatch group companies are using ETA's top of the line movements. I can't find anyone else offering their thermocompensated quartz movements. Anyone know of any?
