But one the manufacturer can't supply ATM because of ETA's restrictive practice. If they supply less than ten per cent of their order for movements, Steinhart are up the creek until they do the decent thing and fit seiko innards to their watches. (The prolonged patience of customers who have Steinharts on order is, finally, causing the glacial movement of WUS threads to speed up.) If ETA want to take the ball away, good luck and good bye. I won't be looking for another watch with one of their movements again.
