Actually, I do not think I am searching for a watch BECAUSE it is made in China. I am rather attracted by the fact of getting a good looking mechanical watch, that ticks with a similar sound than a Swiss Made, is more than decent timekeeper, its total cost delivered is about the same I pay just for shipping on a watch from other latitudes, and has more than good customer service.

I like Swiss watches, I think I am going to like a lot my German made Vortex, I like microbrands with Miyotas inside and, at this stage I like Chinese watches as well.

And, I believe, in my collection the best value for money is out of Chinese at this stage. Please note as well that I am not saying or implying that value for money is the most important thing in watches or in general.
