Rotary watches

[rolex]

Hi, how can a Company like Rotary get away with saying their watches are Swiss made when in fact they contain Chinese movements? It's nothing more than legalised counterfeiting.

They all do, including Omega who have their bracelets made in China. As long as more than 50% of the main core of a watch is made/assembled in Switzerland, then it qualifies as "Swiss Made".

Google it, if you want to know exactly what's what, and if it bothers you, then stick with Grand Seiko, which are made completely in Japan. Otherwise, just ignore the marking on the dial, for the meaningless phrase it has now become.

I'm fairly sure that it's hearsay that Omega bracelets are made in China.
The bracelet on my Omega is specifically marked as Swiss Made.

95% of watch bracelets THESE DAYS are supposedly manufactured in China well that's what Mr Platts says and he knows his stuff.

Thanks for the link, PJ S. Would you mind quoting the post? I'm in a country which for whatever reason blocks TZ. Maybe because of their enormous fake watch industry

" Brining up this old topic, but now there is more concrete proof tha the Omgea bracelets are indeed made in China. This one is a half link for the new PO."
