Re: Answer from Omega on current bracelets re: Swi

: Dear Omega,

: I have three Omegas. 3572.50.00 Speedmaster
: Pro, 2533.50.00 Seamaster Pro America\'s
: Cup, and 2538.20.00 Seamaster GMT.

: On the clasp of my Speedmaster Pro and my
: Seamaster GMT it says \"Swiss
: Made\". On the clasp of my Seamaster
: Pro America\'s Cup LE it has no such
: marking or any indication of where it was made.

: Can you tell me if this bracelet was made in
: Switzerland? If not, where was
: it made?

: Best Regards,

: Keith Downing

: Dear Mr. Downing,

: We thank you for your information and
: congratulate you for owning 3 OMEGA
: SPEEDMASTER and SEAMASTER watches.

: Our SPEEDMASTER and SEAMASTER bracelets are
: "Swiss made" and carry this
: indication on the clasp. The bracelet of your
: SEAMASTER AMERICA'S CUP watch
: does not seem to carry "Swiss made".
: We do not have any explanation for this
: omission.

: We suggest you to send your SEAMASTER AMERICA'S
: CUP watch to our Affiliate

: Penn Way, Lancaster PA 17601
: (phone 717 394 7252, fax 717 399 2211), to the
: personal attention of Mr.

: against the "Swiss made"
: bracelet and for its adjustment to your wrist.
: Please contact Mr. Lehmann
: who will advise you about the most convenient
: way of forwarding your watch
: to Lancaster. The bracelet will be exchanged on
: a free of charge basis for
: you.

: fine OMEGA timepieces with much
: pleasure and for many years to come.
: Kind regards,
: OMEGA LTD
: xxxxx xxxxx

: I don't know if this answers the question or
: not. I will not be sending my bracelet in
: for replacement.

: Best WIS hes,

: Keith Downing

hmmm I don't seem to have "Swiss Made" anywhere on my mid size Bond Seamaster Braceket anywhere either. If Omega doesn't know why our bracelets don't have this marking I don't know who would.
