I don't know if I can go along with you on this one Oscar. I've seen ads for Chase-Durer watches in magazines like "Motor Trend" and similar years before I ever saw them on the shopping channel we all know and love. (Of course, I don't know if they ever appeared on the predecessor, VVTV.)  I personally own two - one is their Strike Force GMT - Swiss made, Quartz, tritium tubes for luminescence. The other is a Starburst automatic on a leather strap - Selita movement, alligator strap and one of the nicest carbon fiber dials I've ever seen. The build quality is excellent and there are small touches like the large signed buckle on the Starburst strap that's notched out so that the buckle lays flat against the strap on your wrist that speak of forethought in design. I can say that the Wing is one of Chase Durer's lower priced pieces and I don't believe that Chase represents it as being Swiss Made. However, based on my experience, I must believe that the OP was unfortunately victimized by a bad eBay seller rather than a bad timepiece. JMHO.
