As far as I'm aware, all Rolex watches are made in Switzerland.
There was a time back in the past where some of the bracelets were made in other countries - The USA and Brazil come to mind. But I'm pretty sure that system was dropped.

no, no Mr Timefinder. I think if you look at Markdl's in context with the rest of the thread, it was a tongue in cheek remark. I hear they are really made in Antarctica:thumbup1:

I too will assume Mark's message was only in jest. :001_tt2:

Yep. Mexico too. There was a time in the mid 60s American import tax was higher on watch movements with over 20 jewels. Rolex made a version of the 1520 movement with 17 jewels instead of the normal 26.:thumbup1:
