In Response To: Heuer and Thailand ()

: Hi,
: Recently purchased Heuer 2000 (model number 974.006 and c 1985).
: Keen to know of any numbers engraved on the movement, I asked in
: a reputable jewelers if they would open up the watch case, to be
: told the movement was marked Thailand! Was I right to be
: annoyed? Should I not have been concerned?

It's not necessarily a red flag - a lot of ETA quartz movements are/were assembled in Thailand. You might find that it says something like 'SWISS PARTS, ASSEMBLED IN THAILAND' on the movement.
