 I think I may have been misunderstood here. I am referring to the small watchmaker that has to make the hard choice of buying alternative movements and getting their watches to the market now or wait for ETA movements that are backlogged and getting harder to get.

For example, I follow the Ocean7 brand pretty close and have a few of their watches. One thing Mitch always says when he is designing a watch when asked about what movement it will have is it's not as much what movement, but when movement. It is really tough for the little guy to source the quality ETA movements from what I have been reading. I imagine ETA is still the preferred movement when they can be obtained.
