Hi everyone.. Quick question. Are any of the parts on a Rolex watch made in China?

Hope not. Chinese Rolexs are quite frowned upon here

Seems plausible that some parts could be made in China but suppose you'd have a hard time finding any evidence.

No Rolex watch parts have ever been made anywhere else except Switzerland and other parts of Europe and Americas since the RWC was founded.

Hi,

Do you mean that some parts may be made in the US only, or anywhere in the Americas (including, obviously, South America?)

Thanks

It was mainly bracelet parts some were made S/America, USA, Mexico,and England but that was a long time ago.Then mainly to escape the high import taxes at that time on fully completed imported watches.
