Well, not trying to bash anyone... but!!! i worked in Mongolia for 5 years and a short tour in China. As a example, we use special ­meta­l cutting blades on a type of cutting tool that is lowered inside drill pipe to cut it off when it becomes jammed or stuck in the ground, the blades are expensive, but not nearly as expensive as the stuck drill pipe. A businessman from China approached our company saying he could produce and supply these blades in china, that they would be exactly the same as the blades shipped over from America, at a much lower cost of course. To make a long story short, they did look exactly like the other blades, even had the same part # etched into them, but they didnt work... when trying to cut steel with them, they just wore off flat losing its edge in seconds, worse thing was they got mixed in with the good ones and we couldnt tell them appart until they were being used...this is only 1 example of many during that period of my life that has made me to this day look at the tag, sticker, stamp... to see where whatever it is i am buying is from. Thanks but no thanks, i'll pay the extra money and do it rite from the start...
By the way, you can buy a genuine Rolex watch there also for $15.00, maybe buy that first and see how long it lasts before investing in something more pricey, get a feel for the good deal.
