thought about this today.

since swatch is now licensing asian eta factories to asseble movements for other brands and not selling to some direct swiss competitors, would you think less of tudor if tudor went after that market and started selling blank ebauche's to other swiss makes in need of movements?

i think it would be fine if it helped keep costs down on tudor and allowed for even more development.

rolex supplied panerai long ago and zenith supplied rolex and so forth so what do you think? the rolex CEO was also zenith's CEO and using tudor and not rolex calibres wouldn't really expose rolex's best movements or technical a-game to competitors anyway.

and,

the Vegas crew and TS's need to offer up a Tudor 'Tick' sweepstakes to get Jocke to Vegas.

$25 per entry. Blue 'Tick' banner. yes/no?

I say let them suffer.

Nope , so long as it doesn't carry their name. If it's a different brand, most ppl won't even notice.

I say no, let the other companies come up with their own movement.

They're already (hilariously in the case of some very expensive IWCs and the like) using ETA 2824 clones by Sellita,
