Yes. There are several reasons:

1. My agreement with my Swiss Partners not to allow it.
2. The vagaries of strict laws on Tritium. (By law, we must track these "Sealed source" watches via serial number. And we must keep tritium watches behind two locked doors. This may seem archaic but this is the law.)
3. Even the best watchmakers seem to mess up the tritium dials, causing us to eventually have to fix them anyway.
4. Most importantly, my Swiss partners are very exacting about the amount of parts we get and how we get them and what watch they went into. Exacting efficientness.
5. We can barely get enough spare parts for ourselves. If the pipeline size increases we would consider it.

Thanks for asking and thanks for the kind words on this thread.
