Dr J & Roffensian: No the bracelets are definitely of the same quality. What I meant was that I was told the watch factories in Switzerland couldn't meet export production demand so they only produce limited number of bracelets and the watches itself without the bracelets and and got their other factories located in another country to make the bracelets. This is for the watches meant to export to another country. However watches within Switzerland itself definitely they only sell bracelets made locally. I am not referring to Breitling but maybe certain brands in general. For eg, Rolex produce 2,000 watches per day but because of the production demand they only had the resources to manufacture limited amount of bracelets and got another Rolex factory in another country to make the bracelets for them. So same quality but maybe not 100% made in Switzerland. So only the watch without the bracelets is confirmed made from Switzerland. Actually this was explained to me by my tour guide when I went to Switzerland. I don't trust his saying completely but it is true that many like getting watches from Switzerland. My personal opinion is simply because they have more stocks, especially certain models that are harder to find in other countries. For eg, Rolex Sub, most AD in Singapore do not have it because sold out, but when I went to Switzerland, every AD I went to they have at least 2 on the display. Anyway just curious over what my tour guide told me because he can't be explaining such things to his tour group without a reliable source. Or maybe it only applies to Asia countries?

Wessa: Ya you are right...Every AD I went to in Switzerland there would always be a big chunk of China people there buying as if the watches are free. They normally ask for the most expensive ones without knowing what they are actually buying. No comments on this but u guys know what I mean. I personally feel that they don't do justice to the watches.

Markk: Yah one thing I noticed in Switzerland is that the people in the AD don't really handle the watches with that much "respect" as compared to others. I think because it's their local brands and products that's why they feel that those are something that they could have anytime and not rare and precious that flew all the way from another country. Lol... So far for the rest of the countries when I walk into an AD most of them are rather professional and make you feel like a VIP. However in Switzerland sometimes u feel like a fish market in an AD, I think because those that I came across all had a big bunch of China people there talking loudly and buying the watches as if they are free. Lol... But what Wessa mentioned was true that many people feel prestigious buying a watch from it's home country as it feels very "genuine". For me I bought in Switzerland simply because they had the model that I wanted there(Chronomat 01 LE) and the price was cheaper as compared to my country.
