I bought my Seamaster Coaxial before knowing anything about the Swatch group practices. I looked at all the major brands but couldn't find anything to my eye which was as aesthetically pleasing. I love the watch, hate the group. In the next few years, I'll have to suck up the service cost, ouch. -

Mostly just Swatch, Selitta is a good option and have a lot of experience in assembly, since the 50s and apparently will sell to anybody. Though they have had issues with certain movements in the past. There is an vid interview somewhere here in the forum with thier management. Its lack of information to Joe public, would be nice to see a lot more of it in mainstream media. -
Here's a very interesting pod with Sebastien Chaulmontet who is Head of Innovation at Sellita. In this pod, he states that Sellita sells its products, movements and parts, to anyone who wants them. Whenever someone asked me for advice about which Swiss watch to buy I have always recommended them to go with a brand that uses the Sellita movements, such as Oris, TAG Heuer, Sinn (German), Raymond Weil, and so on and stay away from Swatch owned brands such as Omega, Longines, and Tissot. There are also a lot of amazing micro brands (not sure that's the correct term) using the Sellita movements such as Stowa and Christopher Ward. Had Swatch been a car manufacturer they would never have gotten away with it, and as far as I know the same laws apply to all manufacturers of consumer products in Europe.
