Côtes de Genève is a movement decoration:

The movement you're refering to is an asian copy of an ETA 6497.

as soon as you hear asian or A6497 , it is not swiss

although it is funny since some gen swiss watches have asian parts in them

Try "almost every" instead of "some"

 

[cloneman]

poor guys who bought those gen stainless steel rolexes in particular

Actually Rolex is one of the only brand that does not produce anything in Asia

from what i understand most of the stainless steel models made from the past 4 years to today have alot of asian parts in them not all swiss, somthing to this effect was told to me by a rolex ad, he actually sells many many watches but he said the truth about rolex

personally I think its stupid for a company to buy in a movement from eta, decorate it (thus making the cost of the watch go through the roof) and then have a ss caseback. What is the point... Im talking to you Breitling, Omega, Bell and Ross etc.

And still, that is exactly what saved the swiss watch industry in the 80s...

I'm 100% sure all the parts from Rolex are made in-house, in Swizerland. I've got the info from an executive at jaeger lecoultre.

Maybe he told you that to show-off, because I don't even know how a Rolex AD could have a clue where the parts are actually made.

he carries, jaeger , rolex, breitling, harry winston,buti, iwc,brm,and soooo many more, this store is a watch paradise, if i ever saw one, he goes to basel every single year and has events a few times a year, i really beleive he knows his stuff, but im not going to argue...
