They're a bit misleading, I think only the movement is made in Switzerland, they're definitely assembled in Malaysia because my watch shipped from Malaysia when it came to me.
Both times I made payments on it, the fraud department for my CC went wild because I was trying to pay in CHF to a company in Malaysia.

Do you know if/how you service these micro brand watches? Or are they using ETA?

So many of them are just using off the shelf movements... Ming's are bespoke to some degree, I know for them they recommend service every 5-7'ish years and it appears they have something in-house or at least can advise you of a partnered business to send it to.
Not that it matters to me anymore lol

your asian lust even extends to watches. 69stylez is truly one of a kind.
If we both spoke Japanese id take you to soapland for your birthday.
Consolation prize is BoBo massage in richmond, or swanlake but i dont think you'll get anything good besides a bad case of crabs.  | |

Not endangered (I think?) but I've seen elephant skin straps which I found appalling.
Stingray actually looks pretty cool  | |

Rolex does the same volume as "entry luxury" brands like Longines but makes $10B for it. Only Tissot and Swatch make more units
Yet they still convince people that there's a shortage so they have to charge extra and make customers buy a bunch of stuff first
RM #6 in revenue, sold fewer than 6000 watches
Lots of people buy Gucci watches huh

I love my weekender. Honestly you can’t go wrong with a quartz 30 dollar weekender and a metal strap   | |
