No and no...
Most recent purchases:
- antique pocketwatch, vintage, vintage, Nomos, new Seiko, vintage Seiko.
The Nomos is as accurate as you could want, and the Seikos are more than accurate enough. Vintage, I don't care. Antique, I'm gob-smacked they're still as accurate as they are at >80 years old!
The only major impact I see is from the couple of colleagues who are interested in watches AND who believe the marketing bumf. It's bad enough trying to refute crap like "It takes a year to make a Rolex" and "Blancpain is a manufacture therefore ALL Blancpain movements are 100% in-house" without another layer of marketing disinformation to further confuse their poor addled little brains.
Out of curiosity, how will the Swiss-ness condition work for bling? Are there swiss gold and diamond mines I'm unaware of? I can't see labour being a large part of the cost of a diamond and platinum monster.
How long before each watch is shiped with a photocopy of the passport and birth certificate of the person who assembled it to prove it's 95% Swiss...

Swiss-Made and COSC rules are changing
One may matter; the other ismeaningless.
Testing movements VS watches; historical reasons for COSC
One more thing...
I see
The implications are deeper than at first sight.......
But that's not caused by COSC
Not a cause but
The 80% Swiss made rule was refused by the Swiss "parliament" as
No and no...
One "Geneva Seal" brand
