An interesting question.  

I refuse to wear designer clothes for two reasons, firstly I don't care less about clothes but more importantly I  refuse to pay a premium to advertise someone's clothing.  Want me to wear a t shirt with someone's name on it, pay me. 

Lol join the white t-shirt and jeans brigade brother. I can buy five plain for the price of one that has a name on it.

@VWatchie I am not happy that your spending your time here and not working on your ETA 2763!? Did you ever take it out from your saw dust box?

Have patience. I'm waiting for a Levin Lyre Hairspring Truing Caliper to be delivered from the US, but I'll also have other news about that movement. Something I detected when I stripped it the second time but missed on the first. It's going to be slightly embarrassing. Not a rookie mistake, but still.

In my opinion, manufacturers should be obliged to sell parts for a "reasonable price" to anyone. If I own a product I should be eligible to handle it in any way I see fit. As the owner of a product, you should have complete control over it. When it comes to safety issues, like with cars, there must be an independent inspection authority. Simple as that!

The company that I work for now have purchased production machines from companies that have cost them millions.

There are quite a few of these where my employer has the machine, but that is it. Very little in the way of manuals, drawings. Computers that are password protected so that our people cannot get into them to fault find. Germany, Sweden to name a couple.

We have only this year been able to demand of Germany that when we had to get a software update that we got them to go into their office to suit when we were at work and not the other way around.

I know of times that machines have gone down with a software glitch and we have had to wait until their offices open overseas to get a resolution.

Am I asking a stupid question if I ask which brands this affects? I admit that I do not know which brands Swatch own.

I am now concerned that the three Tissot watches that I bought and have sitting in my workshop to be serviced (not yet though), may cause issues if I lose something etc. I think there is an issue with the quartz watch that I got in the trio. If there is, I would suggest now that I can't get a new movement?

Here's hoping that I am wrong and I can get it going. it is a gift for my lovely wife and a match for the one Liz gave me for my birthday one year.

Ack. I just looked at the swatch website. I really only expect to see two of those brands. Tissot as I have already mentioned and I am hoping to get my father's old Certina once my brother finds it after my father passed away.

I just read this on their website.

Are 'third party' only the watchmakers that qualify to whatever rules Swatch have?
