ETA selling plates and parts or allowing the suppliers of the parts to sell them off the reservation was a major quality control problem for ETA. They were taking all of the burden or blame and were not at fault. The plates said ETA so it must be an ETA. That was most of the time not true, accurate, or at least misleading.
A quick story and I am done. This one marketing company that sells watches started IP plating the rotors of the 7750's that they were having put in watches. The rotors froze up due to tolerance changes due to the IP plating process. That was not ETA's fault, they said nothing as usual and moved on. Who do you think plated and decorated the movements?
ETA is the Swatch Group and they have not made the decisions nor purchased the companies they have by being asleep at the switch. Schools are easy to create and a tax write off at that. Watch makers would be created if it was in the plan of the board of directors to do so. Laws, judges, and lawyers there is more than one way to skin a cat gentleman.
