To the wealthy guys out there whom like nice watches. Look down at that Rolex. It’s a mechanical work of art? You felt so good walking out the boutique. “I work hard, and now a treat?” The minute that warranty ends, if the watch stops working, or needs a Service (clean, and oil usually), you don’t have many options other than sending that watch back to the factory for repair—-at factory prices. Rolex, and The Swatch Group cut off parts/information to 99.99% of Independent Watchmakers in the last decade. Rolex, and The Swatch Group, politely call it Vertical Integration with quality assurance as the reason. It’s a money grab after the sale. The government looked into it under Obama, but decided it was a wealthy man’s problem, and they had bigger issues—which they did. It seems to violate The Sherman Anti-trust Act? My point is Right to Repair will help many of us bring some choice back to our lives. We can have stuff repaired reasonably, instead of tossing the item, storing it away in the dedicated closet of “I loved this item, and one day I’ll have it repaired”, or buying a new one.
