no foreigner had tasted so much bitterness in buying mainland faked products !!!!
that is why EUROPE approved a patent "NOTE MADE IN CHINA".
communist dog really cannot live without telling lies.

About 10 years ago I bought a faked one for about US$15 and so far this
faked one is still running OK. It looks exactly like a real one except
it does not have a real serial number inside so that the fakes don't
have any value at all in the secondary market. Rolex watches are used
as a currency mostly by the gamblers in Macau gambling casinos.
The point is: there is nothing mysterious or difficult about Rolex
watch technology. Even the 'home factories' in SZ can turn out Rolex
watches like burgers Against this background, one woners if the watch
makers in Switzerland will move their factories to China or other less
developed countries as part of the trendy globalization. The latest
Qantas airline's decision to move their operation to China is an
example of that. Whether the mechanics in China will be able to
maintain the safety records of Qantas has now become an issue.
My own experience with multinational companies is that most if not all
technical tasks can be performed by local staff with equal efficiency
while the management of a corporate outfit in my view should be kept as
original as possible in order to maintain the image and functioning of
its home corporate culture and value. However, these days in the
process of prostituting for a faster dollar many Western corporations
even do away with their own management teams sent from home in order to
cut cost; some even hire local people to take over the top management
of the local branches. As a result, these corporations no longer
retain their original western corporate cultures but have instead
become a bunch of Chinese organizations. Consequently, the
innovativeness and creativeness made possible by western management
will be certailed while rigid bureacracy and confirmity associated with
traditional Eastern culture will prevail. The latter development to me
is not necessarily a blessing!
