Yes, Tudor is owned by Rolex...they did not buy Sellita, they simply had a contract for there movements (gears, etc.) which dried up the Sellita market. If they did go belly up, then Tudor would almost have to take them over to continue production of their finished pieces. |

LOL :D Same question I was going to ask Skip..how does a company go bankrupt when there is such a high demand for what you produce and buyers clamoring for your product? IMHO, the only posibbility might be taking orders, you are not able to fulfill do to lack of workforce/facilities etc and leaving the customer holding the bag?? |

I have a question about this. When I was at the jewelers getting some watches sized, I was talking Rolex with the watch maker there. They are an AD for Rolex. He told me they dropped the Tudor line. That they dont make them anymore. Is this true? :? |

Was Selita part of the business group out of Hong Kong that went belly up a couple of weeks back? Saw a piece on it at Eurostar website. |
