You’re right though but you can read up on the long history of Ginault. I won’t say more.

Not easy to find something about Ginault's history... Their website is light. It must be recent.

Where I need to be.

There is a long controversial history on the brand and its founder. You may be too new in the hobby to know it but it makes an interesting read for anyone who wants to do some digging. The internet is forever.
Having said that, I do think that Ginault makes nice affordable watches and having handled a couple of them, I think that the workmanship is pretty decent too. There would have been no controversy at all had the founder not tried so hard to bury his pre-Ginault past. You can read up the rest on your own. It is a long story which dates way back.

Just received shipping instructions one week after payment. The watch will ship out of Taiwan. ETA July 6th. I was under the impression this was made in the US! Apparently not.
