I know this is a Rolex only forum,but it would be interesting to know if anyone else here admires or uses any other product of Swiss origin on a daily basis.For example I am a Bally shoes fan,and being a part time drummer I only use Paiste cymbals.In my opinion Swiss manufacturing is flawless as evidenced in much of their productsone of which of course is Rolex.

I open Cisco boxes with a Swiss Army knife.

I frequently eat Swiss cheese.

I used to rapell (sic?) using a Swiss seat.

I almost forgot,Swiss Chocolate!If not the best it is second only to Belgian chocolate,of course Belgian beer is superior to almost every beer except maybe German beer....

Just 4 other items in my home:

Swiss Victorinox multi purpose knife
Bergeon watch tool
Magimix Expresso machine
Bamix blender/mixer

I use my Swiss Army Knife (Champ) on a daily basis, and I also have a Swiss Army Knife (Minichamp) hanging from my belt loupe every day. Nice and handy little knife, that is!

SSD · 21 November 2007, 12:40 AM

Yes, yes! Victorinox are indespensible! I own five of varying smaller styles, one even has a little LED flashlight. My wife loves hers, too, and I may aquire another this weekend. I also have a Luminox and a pre- WWI Sweedish Mauser that rivals some of my newer rifles in the accuracy department.

SPACE-DWELLER · 21 November 2007, 12:48 AM

Forgot to mention that I also have a small Swiss Army knife with an USB flash drive in it (1 GB) containing pics of all my belongings for insurance purposes. I carry it on me all the time. That knife also had an LED light incorporated that is activated by pressing the Swiss "flag".

That's a good idea, Bo. A creative way of keeping track of those! I think I (you) just identified my next knife...

Apart from ROLEX, Swiss is famous for its banking system. So, there is where I keep my money.......

I like to toot my Swiss Horn!

East Bay Rider · 21 November 2007, 09:43 AM

Yes the Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. Ultimate pocket tool with a million uses. My daily carry is very similar to the Explorer but without the small blade, can opener and awl.
Many would discount its magnifying glass as a cheap plastic toy but I estimate it to be reasonably similar to a 10x loupe. It was with this very magnifying glass and a reading lamp that I was able to see the crown etching in my GMT crystal. How cool is THAT!
