7R68 is recent enough to have its manual still on the website:

I don't know which one is worse; running out of spare parts so quickly, or refusing to produce new spare parts?
"Thinnest ETA 2824-2 watch" 🙄
No offense, but this distinction is like "roadster with the highest towing capacity". If you want towing capacity, don't buy an open top sports car; and if you want a thin watch, don't buy one with a tall movement like ETA 2824.

Last time I checked, good ones were going around $2500...
"a watch manufactured in Switzerland would cost three times as much in 1978 compared to a decade earlier" this statement is missing a very important point: During the same period, value of the Japanese Yen and German Mark have doubled against the US Dollar. The issue wasn't CHF increasing in value, it was USD losing value.
In the early 80's, Japanese Yen appreciated against every other currency and I don't think it caused a crisis for Casio or Seiko...
The case is filled completely by oil, i.e. there has to be no air the case. Therefore the watch has to be sent back to Sinn for battery replacement.
I'm not sure about U50, but UX has a CR2016 battery. It is almost as large as a quarter dollar coin and has 10+ years service life.
