That's because he couldn't fit in "sort of hand made" based on Cnc machines etc

More important....did you get a brown box??

Same!

I could be all wrong but I have been reading every thread I could find on the 5167. Can you guys that do not have the Swiss made on your dial see if you have the Geneva seal or the pp stamp on the movement?

Mine is brand new and does not have "Swiss Made" on the dial. I believe some just go out without this stamping on the dial by error. There appears no other explanation or logic to it.

Hand made, very, very, very slowly.....indeed.

I wonder how many of his customers die in the interval between ordering the watch and receiving it.

I believe they recently added Swiss Made to deter the counterfeit market. The size of the swiss made is literally about one quarter of a millimeter, so it would be very difficult for a counterfeiter to print.

Bumping an old thread but here’s one with a Swiss Made dial with the older Geneva seal movement.

I was always under the impression that 2009 and before had no Swiss Made print. I have had one 5167 with Swiss Made and one without, the one with out was dated 2009.

I have a 2009 5167A with the Geneva Seal and no "Swiss Made" on the dial.

Mine was purchased new from my AD in 2/21 with “Swiss made”

Everyone who cannot find the "Swiss Made" on the dial at 6:00 should put their 5167 up for sale on the Forum ASAP.

Just to add more confusion to the timelines, this one sold by EWC in the past has a Swiss Made "Tiffany" dial with older Geneva seal movement but with paperwork from sale in 2014.

Sorry duplicate post

Bought new from AD just a couple weeks ago, with “Swiss Made” at 6 o’clock:
