I don't think that the rest of the world (other than N. America) was of any
concern to M.Z. Berger or Walmart (again these watches were apparently
"Walmart exclusives" when they were built. In the box there was a Spanish
booklet and an English booklet (but no French) so I'm guessing that they
were sold in Wal-marts in the USA and Mexico (Wal-mart has a very successful
operation in Mexico ) but given the lack of French not Canada. I don't
know what the laws of those 2 countries are, but if I had to guess it was
legal to sell these in Mexico but not CA.

Fortunately MZB is totally U.S.A. & Canada concentrated - at least as
for now (J. Mermelstein has three kids).

Meet with MZB's beautiful world:

What is unusual, is the misuse of the prime US watch TM Waltham,
Elgin, Gruen, which they have over the years worked down to a Walt
Mart sublevel, thus hurting the feelings of all knowledgeable
horologists who are aware of the glorious past.

Glory and Decadence.
