Hi Bill,

If the Chinese maker put his name on the parts in a visible location,
then nobody would be fooled, and without the ability to fool the customer,
there is no market.

This is not a supply of Ebauche repair parts that I am talking about.

It is more like the guys that are making and selling copies of Rolex cases,
dials, and hand sets that can be used to turn a cheap quartz movement
into a Rolex replica.  The parts are being supplied in the interest
of committing fraud, not facilitating repairs.
