Probably true for most people. I was skeptical at first. They're very good. End links are tight. I've had one for my Seiko 6139 and a couple BOR. In fact, they are so good I now question why an OEM is so expensive.
Please note that we'd like to keep these sorts of topics about the products and criticism specific to them, without diving in to government and politics issues that always end up divisive (and side-track good threads). Thanks.

I’ve owned a modern Omega 1171 and US 1171 and the two are basically identical. Well, except for the price- (at the time) $400+ vs $89. I sold the Omega and kept the US.
Yep. Chinese manufacturing is absolute top-tier... logistics, supply chain, expertise, automation, talent pool. People think "Made in China" means junk because middlemen push cheap crap for fat margins. Selling products made by the lowest bidder.
The reality? They produce some of the best quality out there. It’s just not what most people are buying, or it’s staying in domestic markets.
We visited China a couple of time to buy products for our company. No doubt they can do quality, but as you suggest, the push was always to the lowest quality (textiles). It was a huge challenge trying to convey quality was more important than price.
Uncle Seiko's website says that it is "owned and shipped" from California, but leaves out fabricated. Are they made in China or somewhere else?
