Personally, I don't see any smoking gun there. Just because the same guy (a very rich guy, I'm sure) owns companies in various parts of the world doesn't mean they comingle operations. I worked at Target's headquarters for years and their buying arrangements were absolutely separate from their sister companies (Dayton's, Mervyn's, B Dalton). The latest I read over at WUS (since I'm now banned there I can't read the latest!) was that John P. has assured members that Doxa watches are 100% Swiss, excepting only straps, and non-watch paraphernalia. Until and unless solid evidence surfaces to the contrary, I am willing to accept John P.'s statement.
Like many of you, I really don't care if the watch is fully Swiss made or not, just that the final product meets traditional Swiss standards of excellence. Of course, lying to customers is another matter, but at this juncture I don't see any evidence of that. IMHO.
