Interesting article, Padi. Thanks.

Fortunately for us, in their TRANSLATION booklet which comes along with all Rollies, Rolex clearly states that SWISS MADE means the entire watch has been manufactured in Switzerland. Amen to that!

Mamas,

Why compare a cheap knock-off with the real McCoy?

Looks like thats OK according to USA laws,as long as movement is Swiss.
Watch can be assembled in wongtyme China, and still be called Swiss made.

Well, I guess Rolex are fully justified in printing Swiss Made even if some of their parts are made by a Swiss Maid!!
