Random Question, possibly a dumb one. Looking thru here at a lot of different pictures of SA's. Just noticed that some say Swiss Made at 6 o' clock and some (Both of mine) do not. Anybody know why? I have a 2004 Black Numeral Dial and a 2012 White dial with Batons. |

I have a new SA white dial, silver dub dials and mine has the Swiss made there too. Never noticed it until now. |

Breitlings didnt used to have it until a couple of years ago. Now they have it. Thats pretty much all there is to it. |

I do believe the change was made in 2009. |

Ya, if I am not wrong the Avenger without the "MIS" is the Avenger Skyland (white Arabic numerals, white hands) which disconn in 2009 and taken over by just "Avenger" (dropping the Skyland) in 2010 which has the "MIS" at the bottom. |

I think when I got mine (2012) the arabic versions had swiss made at the bottom and the batons didn't. |

I just bought my white dial batons last month but it is a 2012 model with no Swiss made at 6. Wonder why they did that? Just curious that's all. Thanks for the info and responses as always |

Story goes that they made the change because there were persistent (untrue) rumours that they didn't have Swiss Made because they didn't qualify for it because too much was produced outside of Switzerland. |

perhaps it might help my SA has baton markers which i bought last month from AD without swiss made. i think the dial is already messy enough with too much stuff |

That is an interesting tid bit of info. Thanks. Like I said I was just curious why some said it and some didn't. |
