The mechanical PRX has plastic parts in the movement that must be replaced every time the watch is serviced.

Hard pass.

Pretty sure they just rip out the old movement and slap a new one in lmao

I’m having a hell of a hard time selling a Garmin smartwatch. No one wants these stupid toys, I don’t even know why I bought it.

A new classic.

>>17788099
No, your mom.

>>17788102
Kek.
Hope you learn your lesson. Smartwatches are absolut garbage.

>>17788102
which model?

>>17788107
The added GMT details make it far too busy overall, and give it that Chinese watch/mallcore vibe. Not liking it. Plus caller GMTs are cope.

>>17788137
Garmin Instinct which is supposed to be one of the most popular, supposedly

>>17788143
Why are you trying to flip a fucking smart watch lmao zoomers are hopeless

Thoughts?

>>17788152
I like it. Can't decide between the teal and orange accents though. I want to get the skxmod metal case for it in matte silver.
Pic unrelated, just my wrist shot. I love this gshock so much. The ga2000 in this colorway has easily become my favorite gshock. Considering doing a mod to give it a positive display.

>>17788152
Better than the f(ugly)91w.

>>17788160
>F-91W is... le bad!

>>17788162
Why do people keep saying the F91 is bad? It’s not bad for a children’s watch.

>>17788164

You're right. For a child is very good.

>>17788169

You never asked why, you just argued with yourself like a schizo.
Here’s why:
>it’s $10
>durable
>kid-sized and easy to read
>every kid’s first watch
If you don’t believe me, google ‘F91 children’s watch’ there’s 6 gorillion results saying that an F91 is a rite of passage or whatever.

It’s not a bad watch, but it is definitely a children’s watch.

>>17788184

Casio G-Shock GMW-B5000 D1 is the best affordable digital watch.

>>17788214
yes but they can fuck off with the spyware

>>17788214
i own this and its one of my favorite watches. i’m pretty careful with my watches, so i’ve yet to accumulate any scratches (they are scratch magnets). i’ve seem people on plebbit send theirs in to get bead-blasted by a third party company after acquiring too many scratches (picrel), and i think the results look pretty good. you could ebay a scratched-up (not gashed) model for cheap and then send it in for the bead blasting service which costs around $160. dig around plebbit for the company that offers this service

>>17788222
Smartwatches are disgusting. Modding the watch to do the same is also disgusting.

>>17788221
I personally like how my chink bezel looks all scratched up. It's a gshock, it's supposed to look like that. The bead blasted finish is nice though. It would look great if you keep the brushed finish on the face of the bezel where it says protection and gshock.

I also bought a pain marker and painted in the lettering like on the original resin bezel and I love how it looks, all the netal cases now look weird to me without the painted in letters.
>>17788230

I just spent like 25 minutes trying to get the bluetooth with the linux open source script working and failed. Yeah fuck this, turning off bluetooth on the watch and computer and manually setting monthly or whatever.

>>17788257
It's ok you only have to admit you're wrong once you don't have to keep it up

>>17788249
Are you poor or something? Yeah, I’d rather send it to a watch modding company that is going to disassemble the watch and do a proper job as opposed to having to disassemble it myself and handing it over to Jim Bob at some dumpy car shop

how can i find a watch with lugs that go horizontally rather than vertically

Something ridiculously expensive to lord it over her senpai with, just like on /wt/

>>17788352

>>17788410
No, I want to wear it like the image and it has to be horizontal.

I'm bored and anxious.

Is there a square G-Shock model with a screw back + steel case underneath the bezel that is NOT:
1. Vintage
2. Anniversary edition
3. Equipped with Bluetooth?

>>17788414
Yes

>>17788419

>>17788338

>>17788420

>>17788423
Damn, that's a rather expensive G-Shock. Is it possible to find it brand new under 200$?

I've decided on my first (and last) "luxury" watch - a rolex explorer. I think it looks nice and I want it so I can look decent in the office setting. I also considered a GS but they were just so damn bulky looking. 36 mm should work for me.

35mm, dudue are you for real??
anything less than 38 mm looks like womans of kids watch on my wrist and it is barely bigger than yours.
if you have a thin wrist just dont go for a watch that is too thick, whatever diameter is fine

>>17788195
Absolutely 35mm. Don't listen to the tasteless retards telling you it's a women's size.

>>17788195
35 no doubt

>>17788195
Of course 40 mm

Are you man enough to wear a small watch?

>>17788553
>just dont go for a watch that is too thick, whatever diameter is fine
You'll look like a retard wearing a wallclock on your wrist if you go too big, like those women in fashion watch ads. Always buy in proportion to your wrist.

>>17788598
>Typically, men's watches tend to range between 38mm to 46mm, 42mm is the most popular men's size
>Women's watches range between 26mm and 36mm
>Medium size watches: The sweet spot?
>Watches that measure 39mm to 41mm are currently the most popular watch case size, and you will have many iconic watches to choose from in this size range
obviously, you cant wear just anything. not everyone can pull whatever schwarzenegger is wearing, but if you are healthy, grown man, then your wrist should at very least be 6 inches. cant be smaller than that. in that case you can wear 41mm size without doubt. 7 inch and up? you can wear 99% of everything available, save for some hideous outliers like jacob and co monstrosities that have fucked up dimensions and will look like shit no matter who wears it

you would think all the people recommending wristlets to lift do lift themselves, but one of the first things you learn when you start lifting is that there's no muscle in the wrist and only bodyfat percentage influences wrist size
so basically all the people telling wristlets to lift have never lifted weights themselves which is quite ironic

>>17788616
The circumference of the wrist may be whatver inches, but the shape differs between people. Someone with a wider, flatter wrist can likely wear something larger without it looking ridiculous. Someone with a rounder, narrower wrist wearing the same thing will look stupid. Also, the lug to lug is typically longer with larger watchers, which creates the added possibility of lugs extending near to the edge of your wrist (or god forbid even past).

I repeat: Always buy in proportion to your wrist. Your watch case should not cover the whole wrist and there should be space between the end of the lugs and the "edge" of your wrist. It will look balanced and you will not look like a kid who borrowed his dad's watch.

>>17788591
Yes

>>17788541
Factory Sapphire crystal at least

>>17788630
i agree that watch should fit properly, but it seems like we disagree on what exactly that means. in my opinion 35mm is unacceptable for a wrist bigger than 6 inches, but to each his own

>>17788394
I got 580 cad delivered. Doubt anybody could find a better deal for the mechanical version

I have a 38mm with a diving bezel and it seems extremely small. Going from the numbers alone, that makes me think that a 35mm prx would feel tiny. But it doesn't have a diving bezel, and it has an integrated braclet, so maybe it would "feel" like my 38 diver? I guess the real answer is to go to an actual store and try it on..

>>17788411
>>17788338
For anyone flabbergasted by this poster, he wants to be a hipster who wears his watch on the underside of his wrist.

I'm a poorfag and I want to get a chrono.
I like the Seiko Speedtimer cause I think the solar sub dials are pretty cool technology wise, I like the compact size and it looks pretty cool.
Negative: I think the bracelet sucks and when I tried it on, it felt pretty unbalanced.

I also like the Bulova Lunar Pilot in the blue/white version. Sweeping seconds hand, high beat movement and I really dig the Snoopy Speedmaster, but I don't see myself spending 15-20K for a watch with a carton dog on it.
Also it comes with the leather strap and the bracelet, so there's a bit of variety, also it's cheaper.
Negative: I can't try it on and 43.5mm seems pretty big. I usually wear a 40mm watch, which works fine, but my wrists aren't huge. Also it seems kind of thick with the crystal coming out of the case in a straight line.

Are there any other options that I don't know about? Timex has the Q Chronograph but that thing has a really ugly dial.

>>17788690
PRX is almost all dial so it looks like a dinner plate on smaller wrists, watches with a big bezel can afford having a bigger case because the dial itself will be smaller and potentially decorated as well
38mm is as big as a dress watch has any right to be but for a divers watch it's tiny, that means the dial itself will be 33mm or less
I've seen more wrist shots of ill-fitting 40mm PRX than I've seen of the 35mm being too small, though they're out there, definitely worth trying out both if your wrist is kind of average

>>17788695

Why are you opposed to the anniversary models? You're basically asking for a rerelease but saying you don't want a rerelease. There is also the DW-5000SS which isn't an anniversary model and has a screw down caseback.

>>17788782
I was very tempted to buy this one, but the battery doesn’t last long and it has bad water resistance. I have no idea how they managed to fuck it up, hopefully they come out with a new and improved version soon

>>17788782
>>17788783
mistook it for the A1000 my bad

Have you ever considered just how accurate watches have to be?

Since there are 86400 seconds in a day, a 99% accurate watch would be off 864 seconds a day (or 14 minutes 24 seconds).

99.9% accurate = -/+ 1 minute 26.4 seconds
99.99% accurate = -/+ 8.64 seconds

For a watch to be -/+ 2 seconds a day, it has to be 99.9977% accurate.

>>17788783
>>17788787
Casio ratings are conservative. You can take a WR casio diving and the battery is rated for 3 years. I have watches rated for 2 years going on 5 and they usually last 10 years.

should I just say fuck it and get a gw-5000 and a titanium bracelet on aliexpress instead of a $1.5k mechanical watch

>>17788541
Erm ackshually Tissot is based in Le Locle, git gud

>>17788545
Why does the PRX trigger you so much?

gw-5000 with a white resin bezel and strap looks pretty good, anyone know where to get the bezel and strip and how hard the swap is to do?

>>17788802
Everyone wants to do this, even me. Looks great. People are buying a whole DW-5600CA-8 to scavenge the band and bezel. You can also order the band and bezel from pacparts but it might take a while.

>>17788782
i wish they made this exact model with a stainless steel case. it's so much sleeker than the a1000

>>17788798
If all you care about is the look go for it otherwise you will always have the itch for the genuine article. If you are spending $300 for a GW-5000 plus $100 for the kit I personally get a used steel GMW-B5000 for that money. I would also keep an eye on ebay for used titanium models under $1000.

>>17788769
what does it mean when a watch has SOLD OUT next to it but also a working add to cart button?
is that preorder?

>>17788802
>how hard the swap is to do?
Its literally 4 screws you useless ninny.

>https://www.swatchgroup.com/en/sustainability/sourcing-materials
>Since being founded, Swatch Group has been committed to Swissness throughout the Swiss watch industry and has pursued the goal of being 100% Swiss made since the launch of the Swatch brand in 1983. This dedicated commitment to a production site in Switzerland and local sourcing contributes significantly to the preservation and further development of the Swiss watchmaking tradition and art.
>the short distances between the individual production sites mean that comparatively few GHG emissions are generated through transport in the supply chain.

Currently wearing pic related on the daily but looking to buy a new watch when I dress ''business casual''.
My wrist are around 6" but when I tried a Invicta 8926, it just feel too small. Am I just biased because Ive been using a large watch for too long?

>>17788826
HA WRONG! There's no screws for that particular model, only the screw down caseback.

>>17788831
>HA WRONG! There's no screws for that particular model, only the screw down caseback.
You should know to shut up when the adults are talking. The bezel has 4 screws.

>>17788242
Wow, nice Mr. Hankey

>>17788837
Could you point out these 4 screws, please?

>>17788847
The less people know the more they think they know. Certified retard.

>>17788821
it means some variants are sold out. it could also be that there's stock, but the page hasn't been updated, happens sometimes. basically if you can add it to your cart, it's available. there's no pre-ordering

>>17788830
You can wear a g shock with a suit no problem

>>17788851

>>17788867
>>17788880
people can do what they want of course. if i’m wearing a suit, i wear a dress watch with a leather band that matches my leather belt and shoes. so basically black or brown leather. sometimes a metal band “sports watch” looks good to, depending on the occasion. anything else seems tacky imo, but if you’re a world leader you probably wouldn’t care

>>17788763
Because I want a watch that looks normal (this disqualifies your 5600SS by default). Because I don't want my watch to constantly remind me about its very special heritage. Because I hate all of the gold accents on anniversary G-Shocks. Because I want to be able to replace my watch relatively easily if something happens to it.

stop discussing casio shitters

>>17788912
You are too autistic and will never find a watch to meet your autistic criteria unless you get parts from different watches. The only part of the DW-5000SS that isn't normal is the band and bezel and you can easily replace it. You can also get a DW-5040RX and replace the display along with the strap and bezel. If you want to get frisky you can even replace the glass. It's all up to you.

>>17788376

This is probably the attitude that results in poorfags fucking off to Reddit to actually talk about watches and nice finds instead of trying to suck each others cocks over luxury brands, but that's good, everyone's a winner this way and getting their respective hugboxes.

I know right. But as someone else said before me Casio is somehow unable to put multiple desireable features in a single watch they manufacture. I have more hopes in some aliexpress kit

>>17789082
It's almost certainly intentional since they obviously make more money selling multiple watches all with bits and pieces you want than just selling one watch that has everything

Yes, simple as. Happened to me too when I went from a G-shock to a substantially smaller Seiko. Then the G-shock felt too big after wearing the seiko for a while. Only after some back and forth my mind registered both sizes as fine. Ultimately, the size range you can pull off is much wider than what people want you to think.

Nah a consumer base that is left wanting is a consumer base invested in your releases hoping the next release is the one everyone wants. Honestly, the only reason why China won't do what Casio won't is because the market for Casio fakes for westerners is tiny and they make much more money off of the third world where scam artists and disreputable shops are more tolerated.

Nothing, but the point is that it's not Switzerland. Omega is claiming their products are made in Switzerland (and charging as if they are) when they're actually Asian-made and are only able to put "Swiss Made" on their dials due to some legal trickery surrounding the term.

Like this anon >>17789170 said, a Citizen Eco-Drive or a Casio Lineage. Personally i would suggest something like this, it's the best watch you can get for the money (around 200€). It'll always be accurate (it's radio controlled) and running (solar powered) and it has all the functions you would need. And it looks good.

>>17789209
Why not? If Omega is lying about their watches being swiss made then why would they say fucking Thailand on the package you absolute brainlet kek

nta but swiss made just means 60% of the parts are made in switzerland or something like that. it doesn't mean the watch is assembled in switzerland

>>17789214
I'm pretty sure this is some mod, as far as i know GS doesn't make GMTs with such a dial or case. You might have been scammed.

>>17789222
Very good point. Don't waste your money on a "mid priced" watch.

>>17789225
The dial is the same as in this model, and they don't use same dials on different watches. The bezel is wrong, the case is wrong, everything is wrong. You've been swindled or are trying to pass a mod for a real watch.

>>17789214
I like GS but that is vile

>>17789218
Omega isn’t lying about their watches being “Swiss Made”, they’re in 100% compliance with the rules/regulations about calling their watched “Swiss Made”. They’re allowed to outsource parts, please educate yourself (if even possible)

So just because Omega could be doing this, they therefore must be doing it because you've got a picture that rather conveniently says "Omega", "Original" and "Thailand", though it doesn't quite go as far as saying "Made in Thailand".

You're making those words do a lot of work in this single unsourced image.

>>17789264
You’re embarrassing yourself at this point.

>>17789256
I find it hilarious how badly rolexfags *need* this image to prove that Omegas are ackshually 100% Thai. If you have a look around The Swatch Group website it actually tells you about all the Swiss subsidiaries they own and what they produce, cases, dials, hands, movements, crowns and most show images of Omega components being made in factories by people who do not look Thai.

>>17789223
Not even. The loopholes allow for 100% china. It's all fake and gay until you buy Rolex or JLC where it's been demonstrated that they actually make their shit where they say they do.
Tissot, certina and other low grade Swatch shit is for the mallgoing boomer types who want a "swiss watch" because they still have it in their heads that "swiss time" is worth paying a premium for so they're especially easy to fool with promises of quality at wallmart prices.

Malls are dead but this shit is shilled online to the same budget-minded demographic who thinks they can get "affordable luxury!" "made in Switzerland, you know!" for less than whatever the list price for the cheapest rolex is supposed to be.

>>17789266
No one can explain why it couldn't possibly be a fake part, if it is then the "Thailand" part is about as useful as the "Original" part. Or maybe the Thailand part isn't stating it's place of manufacture, perhaps it's stating the part is owned and distributed by Omega's Thai subsidiary if it is actually real.

Perhaps one day you can learn the difference between "evidence" and "proof" kek

Documented tour by old watch forum boomers of the factories showing all parts being produced on site. They have their own steel and gold foundry where they make their own gold and steel alloys so they don't have to outsource for cases and bracelets like almost all other brands cept the seiko group. I don't believe omega has ever been toured to this degree and certainly tissot hasn't.

Swatch group doesn't have just one site, they have a few all over the country so that would explain the lack of tours, nevertheless how would I go about finding the documentation of these tours? Because we can't trust the Swatch groups own sustainability report but I suppose we can trust the word of rolexfags that they saw literally every component being made on this one site that contains everything.

>>17789281
Omega's not going to come out and say it explicitly. If you cannot observe the what's been discovered over the years and make the logical inference regarding budget brands like tissot and swiss labor prices then that's on you.
People who know the bullshit written into the swiss law on watches don't trust swatch group. Certainly not for the bottom brands.

>Finally, the trade in watch-movement parts, precisely the target of 'Swiss Made‘, shows a development characterised by the growing importance of imports, mainly from Thailand. Whereas Switzerland was largely an exporting nation for movement parts in the mid-1990s, in 2006 It became an importing nation, and this trade deficit - or dependence on foreign countries - only grew until 2014, before declining somewhat

Oh wow they've literally admitted their watches are 100% Thai built because they redesigned their website and rewrote the preamble to be more succinct. Nah that's all the proof needed, that in a section called "Swiss Made" they had to reiterate that again in the text, they'd surely only exclude that to admit their guilt lmao

You must realise how much this resembles most internet conspiracy theories right? The image posted to a forum with literally no information other than "I bought this part", bringing up what the law would technically allow for, comparing statements made to find contradictions.

>>17789270
>It's all fake and gay until you buy Rolex or JLC where it's been demonstrated that they actually make their shit where they say they do.

This. If you ever take a trip to Switzerland, you can all ahead at the watch factories (the ones that actually make their watches in Switzerland) and they'll give you a tour.

The JLC tour in Le Sentier was actually very interesting since it seems to have been designed to entertain an industrial engineer.
The Zenith tour in Le Locle was a little more like a museum tour with much less emphasis on the manufacturing.

>>17789321
You can't boast about having proof of something and then claiming that it's me who has to find it, the burden of proof isn't on me but tbqh I'm not surprised because Anons ITT still can't wrap their heads around evidence not necessarily being proof and all the evidence so far is "this guy on a forum said Omega's accountant's daughter's horse SAID the parts are all made in China!" or "this forum post has some random guy saying he got a package that says THAILAND on it when he bought a spare part" but weirdly not disclosing where and how he bought it.

>>17789330
You come off as a braindead plebbitor. The “proof” are the two images of Omega parts produced outside of Switzerland. Furthermore, it is to be assumed that if Swatch can save costs, while still operating within the definitions of “Swiss Made” they will do so. And they will do so by exporting the manufacture of certain components to lower cost locations, just like every other company does. That is literally the job of the CEO. The burden of proof is on YOU to explain why Omega/Swatch should spend more money in manufacturing even though it is of no benefit to the company (hinders profits). After all, the watches are still “Swiss Made” even if up to 40% of the parts are not made in Switzerland. You clearly have a bias on the matter, and keep demanding definitive proof that Swatch has every interest in covering up (well besides the non-Swiss produced parts previously posted). I really don’t even care that much, I still like Omega. I’m just taken aback by your ignorance and self-deceit, which is why I engaged this conversation to begin with

>>17789350
Wait...I thought these were made in Thailand?
Is it France >>17789305 or Italy?

Do they really have factories all over the world making tiny components?
Why would they make a thumbnail buckle in Italy? They could make it in China so much cheaper!

>>17789344

Being disdainful of the word doesn't make it any less necessary lmao.
>It is to be assumed
>The burden of proof is on YOU to prove a negative
>You're biased
>You're a plebbitor to not believe me
Yep, the standard repertoire of responses from a conspiracy theorist. You got waaaaay too excited over a single image from WUS claiming a clasp he got from a "retired Omega tech" is definitely original and definitely from Thailand. The reason why proof is getting the double quotes treatment from you here is because you know you've really got nothing else to go on other than suggestions. Fact is that the part could be fake and still claim it's from Thailand because customs won't care if Omega is actually making their clasps in Thailand but they will care if someone is trying to export clasps out of Thailand when they claim to have been made in Switzerland and would seize them.

post watches retards

>>17789355
Okay, then tell me where Omega states that 100% of their parts are produced in Switzerland. Show me the proof. If you can’t then once again the burden of proof is on you to explain why Omega would not export manufacturing.

You are claiming 100% of all Omega parts are produced in Switzerland. Prove it.

>>17789352
In none of these images does it say "Made in", the labels provide a barcode and presumably a destination. If you're in Italy and you've requested 100 of these clasps because your stock is running low, it's going to be useful information if you're in Thailand and receive a delivery of 100 claps with the labels saying Italy, the local subsidiary immediately knows there's been a mistake.

>>17789363
So they're made in China and shipped around the world?

>>17789360
No I didn't, I'm claiming that the image posted on WUS doesn't prove that's a genuine part made in Thailand and it certainly doesn't prove the succeding claim made that ackshually Omegas are majority or completely made in Thailand. Rewording your claim the way you have doesn't change the fact you're asking me to prove a negative.

>>17789378
It's a shame, I think the Swatch Irony series perfectly match your personality lmao

>>17789366
Consider the following:
>Omega has an interest in maintaining the “Swiss Made” label
>A watch can be labeled as “Swiss Made” if only 60% of the parts are produced in Switzerland
>The primary purpose of any company is to maximize profits
It can therefore be concluded that Omega/Swatch will attempt to maximize profits whilst staying within the boundary conditions of “Swiss Made”. Since Omega/Swatch only has to produce 60% of their parts in Switzerland, it is in their best interest to export the manufacturing to lower cost locations in order to maximize profit. This is pure logic/rationale. Furthermore, there is no claim by Omega that 100% of their parts are “Swiss Made”. If your claim is that Omega would not export some manufacturing to increase profits, you must justify this perceived irrationality. The CEO would certainly have to.

This is my only claim, I don’t care about the Thailand shit

>>17789384
You could say the same for Rolex, Patek, or any other brand, though.

>>17789386
And what? Do any of these companies claim 100% Swiss Made? Omega doesn’t

Rolex sirs were falling

>>17789384
>Because it would be legal to do it, they must be doing it! It's pure logic!
Again, that's not proof, that's a suggestion and one that could be applied to any Swiss watch manufacturer as they all fall under the same law.

You're desperately trying to backpedal from your claim that Omega isn't 100% Swiss Made without proof by repeatedly acting like I'm claiming the opposite, but that's not what me scrutinising evidence is doing, it may be the case that Omega are 100% Thai made, it just hasn't been proven by anything you think suggests they are. Like I get you're really trying to be intelligent in your post and bless your heart for trying, but it's a wasted effort because you don't know what evidence, proof, or scrutiny is.

>>17789392
Okay, prove that Omegas are 100% Swiss Made. If you cannot, then the default position is the rational one i.e. some parts are legally produced in low cost locations to maximize profits

>>17789399
That is not how burden of proof works. You can't just arbitrarily decide to shift it onto the other party.

(I mean, we all know you're arguing in bad faith, but the thread might as well have some educational value.)

>>17789401
Sir, do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

It is more probable than not that some Omega parts are produced outside of Switzerland.

Shut the fuck up you freaks and post watches

>>17789404
Sir, I cannot agree or disagree with your statement since I have no verifiable proof of its veracity.

>>17789399
>No! You must make the claim I want you to make!
Not how it works buddy, you are still making the claim that they're not 100% Swiss Made based purely on anecdotal evidence and you can't change that no matter how many times you demand I prove a negative, you can't manipulate this so that I'm forced to do your job for you for very obvious reasons.

You want to claim that Omega is not Swiss made and all you've got is anecdotal evidence and telling people to draw a conclusion from them, that's fine if you want to follow where your own desires have taken you, but it's not proof of anything.

Watch brands are making in regions and exporting to those regions in many cases.

EG Live in Australia- your straps probably from China or Malyasia.

Live in US- China (cause US makes nothing)

Live in Germany- France, Poland.

Most watch youtubers are insufferable

Nico is a fat, obnoxious, and classless

Urban Gentry is a weasily rat thing whose voice is like nails on a chalkboard

Teddy Balthasar is tolerable but a dweeb who’s afraid to talk bad against watches that he’s an AD for

Ben’s Watch Club is fine

The Time Teller is pretty decent, which is saying a lot for me, because I can’t stand jews

Here is the complete and honest fact about "swiss made". Swiss made is deliberately vague as a definition because the swiss government has a vested interest in furthering the illusion of swiss quality and propping up their own companies. "swiss made" would not pass as "american made" any day of the week, and the attempts by swiss watchmakers to try the same standards in the US and make watches that are "american made" have been soundly rejected by the FTC (Shinola). It's all a load of bullshit.

Actually it was only 40% up until about 2 years ago. Now its 60% but there's loopholes so if the watch makers dishonest it might only actually be 20-30% made in Switzerland. At that point they might as well just put "Assembled in Switzerland".

Its a money grab, don't buy it unless your in love with it or are loaded.

No he seriously has a point. Just because the guy selling it thinks it made in wherevever doesn't mean it is. Most retail staff even in botiques know about as much as a high schooler.

You really think people are going to pay $5000 for a Thailand made watch?
