Nobody loves a luxury timepiece more then I do. 2 years ago I recieved a steinhausen watch as a gift and since got more compliments then my movado and have had no problems keeping time. As for my other watch it has been in for minors repairs twice. Heres my problem. I read all the bad reviews online about watches like stienhausen that compete with high end watches. If it costs a high end watch company 500k to assemble a new line but can save more then half sending them overseas you can bet they do.  While the dials, rotors and the back casing where the logos go on ...the bulk of the watch is being assembled somewhere else and its all hush hush with the watchmakers association who have greasy palms especially when the product is sold for 3k but only costs $90 to make the profit is goes to the name brand and the history. The way a high end watch is made is exactly how a steinhausen or another competing brand is made exept the palms stay dry and the watch is sold for alot less. The difference is the correct country where its really made is forcefully marked (different rules). Word is that that some of the lowed priced luxury watches were supposed to be sold in department stores but the 2 big watch companies one starts with M the other S threatened to walk. Sears biggest selling watch is a stienhausen but can only sell them online (wonder why?). So to all you bad reviewers that are pissed off because either  cheaper watch  looks and runs as good maybe even better then your $3k watch or theres some sort of personal gain from the bad reviews? who knows?

I have even seen the word scam in the bad reviews. But who is really getting scammed?
