Memorigin Tourbillon Watches From Hong Kong
I wonder what you feel about the Chinese watch. When people hear "watch made in China," what is it that comes to mind? It is likely a combination of both positive and negative things. I think most people think of either inexpensively made mass produced watches, or counterfeit luxury goods. That would be an under-inclusive, yet accurate description of the goods that come out of China.China makes more than just that, especially today. The "high-end" segment of the Chinese watch industry is beginning to take a more impressive form thanks to volume and confidence.

Caseback question
So I recently put some money down on a 42mm 2500 Planet Ocean at my Local AD. I got a fantastic deal on it better than used prices are going for here so needless to say I'm pretty happy so far.Now for the question I see that the new 42mm Ceramic models have a clear caseback. Would I be able to have my AD actually order a clear Case Back from Omega and install it on the watch? I wasn't sure if case sized are anything were different from the 42mm 2500 to the 42mm 8500. Any tips would be great thanks
