Mr Mille,
Please let me give you my sincerest congratulations for what you've accomplished so far under your name and before the creation of your company.
I'm a great fan of your work as indeed I see it as truly original and innovative.
I'm not an owner of any of your watches, yet! 
I'm very happy to read your post, because as a non-owner (yet again) I'm interested in having your opinion on the subjects at hand, so that all parties have given their vision.
I respect very much the way you come to us and share apparently very honestly the real life of your company.
If I wanted to avoid any risk with a watch, I would buy a brand new Rolex (what I've never done) and forget all my favorite brands. I would loose a lot and may end up with problems anyway!
Best regards
Dje
ps: my invitation for lunch in the best "creperie" of Concarneau is still available, you probably didn't see it the first time I posted it!
