I send an email with a question to Customer support of SolidSwiss and asked how they could manufacture replica watches without getting in trouble (read law-suit) since there are Trademark protection laws across Europe. To me a proof they are NOT a Swiss based company. The response of the Customer support guy Tom was: this is not of your business as a buyer. The website extension cd means it is NOT from Switzerland but Congo. If SolidSwiss is lying about al these things, what does that mean? They are also lying about the quality. I read at the website of SolidSwiss the word "discound" instead of "discount". They are for sure no Swiss watchmakers!
