  1.  @BAF605  Yes pretty much the story in every manufacturing country. Some companies claim to be manufacturing but what they are doing is assembly.

  2. It is not cheaper to manufacturer things in China than in the west. It is one of the biggest myths ever made. Too many companies went out of their way to invest in to Chinese manufacturing chasing a quick efficiency buck and many of them are now in a position that they cannot easily return their manufacturing plants of the west. What is going to play out now over the next decade is that manufacturers that are based in the west are going to outperform those that are stuck in China.

  3. There is nothing wrong with that but there is something wrong with pretending to have a complete Swiss manufactured product that is really made in Asia.

  4. Certain luxury watches also are not 100% Swiss made.

  5.  @ChromeMan04  Rolex manufacture all their parts in Switzerland. Some specialist items like gems are made elsewhere but the actual watches are made in switzerland. There are a few other brands that are the same and then lots of brands that have dodgy manufacturing chains.

  6. It is not cheaper to manufacture outside the west. It is a myth that has taken on a life of its own. The amount of resources a company has to use to try and outsource to Asia is very high. A western plant can outperform an Asian plant 50 times greater.

  7. It is not dishonest at all. It is telling you it has that pressure capability. Does not mean it can be used for diving at that level.

  10. Japan in its lower end watches manufacture in China and other countries. In their higher end watches they are all 100% japanese manufacture.
