Swiss Competition Commission Opens New ETA Investigation
Swatch Group announced yesterday that the Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) has opened a new investigation against ETA Manufacture Horlog��re SA. The Swatch Group statement notes that this is not the first time that the COMCO has investigated a company of the Swatch Group, and that the Swatch Group is confident that the results of this investigation will again be positive for ETA (a reference to an investigation in 2003 that was resolved by an agreement between ETA and COMCO). The Swatch Group announcement goes on to state:“However, the timing for such an investigation seems unfortunate. Since approximately one year, the majority of the external ETA clients have massively cancelled or postponed their orders, without any consideration for the ETA personnel, its infrastructure nor the investments which have been considerable also at ETA due to the continuous pressure of the COMCO as a consequence of the complaints from third parties.(Ad hoc translation from the German original)So

Used values
Is it my imagination or have used values of AP increased over the past 12 months? I keep a regular eye on the Royal Oak models and they seem to be more scarce and more expensive than they were 12 months ago, although I only watch the UK market.

Omega Service Centre in Toronto?
I've got to take the Speedy in for service, it's starting to run 25 to 30 seconds fast per day. Has anyone ever dealt with the Omega Service Centre in Toronto? Any Idea what their turn around time is?

Excited to join the Patek Philippe club!
I would like to introduce myself to the Patek Philippe forum. I had an extra special Mardi Gras this year, with the arrival of my Nautilus 5713. I know that some are not fans of diamonds on a man's watch but to me, it gave the classic Genta design a wow factor that is even better than I expected, now that I have it on my wrist! I believe this reference was introduced around 2008-2009 and has since been discontinued (does anyone know when?). I am also interested in knowing roughly how many of these were produced? I look forward to learning from you all and to contributing to the forum for years to come!
