If do research, you will find that all the brand just selling you the watch case only because most of them cant make their own movement. They are likely using sourced movement form ETA.

I think you meant Selita, Miyota, Concepto, Kenissi and Vaucher.

ETA is now only supplying to Swatch group brands mostly.

If do research, you will find that ETA has stopped selling the movement to non-Swatch brands since 2020.

There's 13 brands there, name me those that is using ETA in their watches now.

TBH , i still not sure how true it is .
Take Ball for example , it is not under Swatch Group.
But most of their watch movement based from ETA.
u go watchbase and check
even cartier also the same not under swatch group.

Ok la nasigorengman...

At the end, your argument hinges on the off chance the watch goes missing when you ship it overseas. Which no one that has sent a Nomos watch has experience before but okay.

But it's safe when the watch dealers do it. Because somehow their insurance is more valid than the ones we can buy?

And we agree AP owners are dumb for not insisting the dealer's dont personally sent it Switzerland.

And all mail couriers are thieves according to you so we should never ever use courier service. Ever. COD best.
