I have several watches with the trusted and true Miyota movement. I can say that the accuracy and reliability is there and very solid. ;)
Oris uses both Sellita and ETA movements in its watches, and I haven't seen anything about "quality issues" with the Selllitas.
As far as John Patterson is concerned, he's trying to reposition his product in the marketplace. If he succeeds, more power to him. If he doesn't, the he took a gamble and lost.
At least he can say he gave it a shot.

There are quality issues with the Sellita, especially in the crown/winding stem. I am sure that eventually they will be squared away.
As for John Patterson, jmo, but I don't think people are upset about what he did...just the way he went about it (ie: slamming the door with virtually no warning). Hopefully, his approach to his new customer will be a little more "open"!
Having been in his position, I would venture to say that 1000 small customers is certainly better than 1 BIG customer...but then, it is his decision.
