Yes I was reading an old thread otto referenced in his reply. Good reading in that thread.

You should google Seiko and read their history. They have hundreds of watch patents. They make their own mechanical and quartz movements. It takes a high tech company with lots of dollars to patent their own watch movements.

In years past watch manufactures would outsource their movements from a few Swiss companies. (Swiss Eta, Valjoux, Japanese made Miyota, Grand Seiko, Chinese Sea Gull, just to name a few. The Swiss have stopped this outsourcing practice and forced watch companies to patent their own internal movements. Do some reading and your head will begin to spin. Collecting watches is an expensive and fascinating hobby.

As I said above,Join the NAWCC.go to a national meet or even the small local marts,you will see thousands of watchs all at wholesale prices because the general public is not allowed to attend.
