Or, a company just refuses to sell you parts.

If the Rolex on my wrist stops working, I can take it apart, and clean/oil it, but couldn't buy a part from Rolex.

That is without going through a lot of expensive training, and certification.

Even then--their master plan is just restricting parts, so you need to send it back to them. "Here is you $900 bill from the Rolex factory".

Companies will just start ramping up the whole "Quality Assurance" BS. It's my expensive gadget. It's out of warranty. Allow me access to parts, and information--if you have them? I'm not being unreasonable?

Would I buy a new high end watch again--no, with the exception of a Seiko. They sell parts.

(I've been repairing watches for 15 years now.)

It seems like you have been shadowbanned for quite a while now. I looked at your comment history and didn't see anything that would deserve that. I think if you emailed the mods you could get that ban reverted.
