Clock ticking on Swiss watches' raw materials from Russia

I found this interesting. Could lead to another Covid like issue in availability.

Not much of a big drop - Russia is 28 percent of global supply.

If Rolex have their own gold furnace where they mix rolex gold ,dont they have their own mine somewhere ..?

Since Rolex is so particular about the quality of diamonds used and the exact same quality for a watch ..diamond bezel/dial Rolexes may become scarce from the AD.

Of greater concern is food supply and the price of fuel .

Diamonds aren’t rare or scarce. DeBeers has spent millions wanting you to think they are though.
