Swiss fakes are an urban myth, something I don't believe before seeing proof.

Yep. Same thing a while back when you would see counterfeit 18K bracelets being sold/marketed as "Italian made", lol. Yeaaaah, sure, lol.

Oh and to clarify, I meant SE Asia as in the entire region, not just SE mainland China (although a LOT of fakes come out of there specifically).
Taiwan definitely was/is another hotbed in the region, and we have been seeing some very convincing fakes/parts come out of Vietnam and Singapore for a while now too.
