child Labour in Asia and replica watches?

Recommended Posts

JohnG

does anyone know what's going on with child Labour in Asia and replica watches?

You need to ask your dealer to get watches made at the BEGINNING of the shift... seven year old children who have worked fourteen hours without a break tend to make a lot of mistakes. Just tell your dealer you want one of the ones made at seven or eight in the morning.

I thought you said the beginning mate? you mean they get to start as late as seven?

Hopefully it's just the cheap reps made by the children, as to be honest as a guy who likes to buy the ultimate versions I'd expect an adult assembling these or at the very least a pubescent child. This worries me now, is this something I will need to confirm with the TD i use when ordering, specifically that I don't want toddlers assembling my expensive ultimate rep, as that really would be a f**king liberty! :wink:

Alongside with AAA+ there should be a TF also.

Maybe the TDs could come up with a certification scheme so that we can be sure that no adults have been exploited in the assembly of our reps.

Obviously, he has an Asus and no, the space bar doesn't work half the time

Midgets or gnomes would explain the big markup in gens.

Actually it is thought to be the Gnomes from Zurich.

 

A special type of midget only found in Switzerland.

 

LMAO! I stand corrected! :lol:

I recall on an older forum

 

A watch repairer lamenting about assembling the workings of the then new replica tourbillons said that he thought that they must use jigs to assemble them in the factories

 

Humourless b'stard got the hump when I said no they use exclusively Chinese Children (not a jig in sight)

 

 

;)
