Definitely coming from China....
A few years ago, I sat on eBay's 10-member Trust & Safety advisory board and met monthly senior staff to review/approve new policy on trust & safety. One of the things we were working on was filters to find & eliminate some of the fake horological items that were flooding into the site from the newly opened Chinese eBay site. This particular watch model was one that was being uploaded by the hundreds each day to the site by Chinese sellers exclusively, so we can reasonably assume the product has its origins in China. The fake "Omega" ball pendant watches were another item coming from China in boatloads.
