i find it extremely silly...... and a complete waste of time when ppl dapple in conspiracy theories that rolex operates an offshore facility to assemble parts on the cheap and then sent it to switzerland for assembly.........
and some went on to add that since "rolex neither confirms or denies it", then it becomes possible rather than just probable........
come on, the onus is on the detractors to prove their claims.............. not for rolex to disprove these rumours..... it takes no effort at all to spread rumours right? they can argue till the cows come home and none will be any wiser.......
so should anyone be worried?
well, read up more before you decide......... http://www.fhs.ch/en/swissm.php
therefore, it is possible for any swiss watch manufacturers to import watch components for final assembly in switzerland........... so long the total value of these parts is less than 50 percent of the cost of the movement (excluding the cost of assembly)....
since it is possible, is any of the swiss manufacturers doing it? given the level of vertical integration they have achieved, i highly doubt so........... but since i cant prove it, why waste time thinking about it?
enjoy your swiss made watch by strapping it on your wrist.......... and not be worried about whether one screw came from africa, india, china, england, usa, russia, japan, mexico ...... or anywhere but switzerland........
