And yes I did not download the app. For the reason mentioned. It says that there are in app purchases.
I have nothing to add.

Personally currently have more interest in Zenith watches. Have to prioritise, don't have several lifetimes to read and comment everything.
There is a Zenith sub-forum on this forum, although unfortunately it's not very active. Perhaps you can contribute there.

Thanks, I found out that on watchuseek forums Hartmut Ritcher and SilkeN are very knowledgeable regarding Zenith, so mostly discussing there. But am also frequent visitor here for Omega related discussions when needed or other movements related discussions.

I use Android so no option to use the app. From my side: respect for your work and for making an app. Seems like this forum isn't the place to plug it tbh. Good luck on further development.

Sounds like material houses are quite happy with their current business model, otherwise they would change something, don't you think? They have enough resources to make it happen easily if they would want it.
I don't think there are any material houses in the traditional sense anymore, it is a dying trade. They mostly deal with basic tooling, quartz movements and consumables. When you search for vintage watch parts you often end up dealing with odd people, not corporations.

Agree. That's one of the problems the app is trying to solve - finding vintage watch parts. Identifying the movement is the first step to sell and buy parts.
