Has anyone else noticed that for several years now, Breitling has stopped putting swiss made on their dials, why is that???

There are still two models that I am aware of that have Swiss Made on the dials.. the Montbrillant and the Emergency. Breitling started phasing out the Swiss Made sometime ago.. not sure when, but i know that the previous incarnation of the Navitimer around 2002 was the last it had the Swiss Made and Automatic on the dial. Possibly an attempt to clean up the dial... the back of the watch still says "Manufacture En Suisse", however.

Thanks, also, have you noticed on ebay people selling Bentleys starting at .99 cents, usually in the UK, but not always. These are clearly fakes because they never put a subdial with the days of the week on it. How do these people get away with it? Fraudulent merchandise etc..

Yeah.. I notice a LOT of fakes coming out of the UK. Not the first place you'd think of as being a replica hotbed, but it is. Those fake chronograph-look movements are really crappy too witht he calendar instead of a real chronograph.
