Yes, they are more desirable because of perception...are they better?  I truly doubt it, but perception makes it so!  I have owned many Seiko and currently have about 15 from  a $40 Military to a Seiko Spirit to a Yellow Monster...and they are all of equal quality.  Here, imo, is the bottom line, it does not matter what country a Seiko is made in, each and every watch is subject to the stringent manufacturing processes and quality control regardless of country of origin.
