·Good luck to you with your petition, hopefully it will have more success than Cousins' legal action against Swatch.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorUnderstand your plight, just thought go big and
all the multinationals that don't play fair. So is it just Swatch, or all the watch companies you would like to change ?
( You do realise if your not Swiss born and bred your chopped liver trying to change anything to do with Swiss watches )

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerM MehdiuzYou have just enlightened me....so you as watchmaker can still buy whatever you need from omega but a distributor can not
In other words the distributors were cut for obvious reasons I guess (the distributors profits is in omega pocket now)
And is it any watchmaker thst can buy part or is only the ones who have been accredited by Omega becesude they have benn through omega training ?
For the petition it will come.. get your pen ready
Again, you really need to start reading the posts that have been made in this thread. Canuck already posted this:
"Or otherwise jump through the necessary hoops to become an Omega certified watchmaker. But who has the money to do that?"
He overstates the difficulties, but it's clear watchmakers can get certified and get access to parts.
And earlier in this thread I said this directly to you:
"Also, if you have a local watchmaker that you want to work with, ask them why they are not willing to get a parts account with Omega."
You have a knack for reading things into posts that aren't there, yet ignoring the relevant things that are there.
Cheers, Al

She's clearly on a radio of some sort... wouldn't be a cell technology because they didn't exist when the cartoon was made.
I think ultimately the Swiss watch manufacturers are hurting themselves when they discontinue or restrict parts. Heritage and the ability to pass down a watch from one generation to the next is the most important selling point for a new Swiss watches as well as vintage. If the parts are routinely discontinued after 10-15 years, or available only by sending the watch to Switzerland, they'll be hurting their new watch business as well as the vintage watch business. People will buy disposable quartz fashion watches that don't need service because people throw them away when they need anything more complicated than a battery change.

·I have been reading all kinds of different post on this forum for a while now and I find it weird that so many people do not understand what Archer says. He is always really informative, and always in the politest way.
So if you ask for information and/or advice and Archer replies with some bits of his knowledge or gives his opinion I think there is no reason to look further or elsewhere for answers.
Just my 2 cents.
Best regards
Henrik

First, I think we can both agree that neither one of us know for sure. That being said: these are the Jetsons. It's a cartoon about the future. They are in a flying car. You surmise that she is on an ordinary transistor radio, that would have been available decades before the supposed time frame they are in? Sorry - she is a teenage girl...she is on a phone. Btw: they didn't have the technology for an Apple Watch when Dick Tracy used the "prototype"...

·How did you translate "radio of some sort" into "ordinary transistor radio"?
She's communicating with someone over something that uses radio waves. That doesn't make it a cell phone. By the time we have flying cars and robots that can do all the housework, cell phones may be superceded, and she'll be using some other device that communicates over radio in some other way.
