 I agree 100% in your thoughts Will.. although it's part of the modern way to do business (outsourcing to asian based companies) in order to be competitive, it's a slap in the face for a company that used to do all its parts and components in Switzerland to be charging the same or in some cases, more for watches that certainly don't have the same built quality as before..

I really respect the "swiss made" legend.. although right now I don't know really who to trust, I think that if the Swiss really become strict to whom they allow to sell watches "swiss made" then we would be able to trust a company and pay how much they are charging if the said company would guarantee that we were getting what we're paying for..

Also, if this were to happen it wouldn't be the end of the world for people that couldn't afford to pay for a really Swiss Made Watch.. with German watches really coming out with wonderful pieces, micro brands selling Swiss movements on asian based cases, Miyota and Seiko movements getting better and better and so forth, give us a whole variety of watches to choose from that compete and sometimes, even beat, Swiss made watches..

Just my 0.02 cents....
