Hi Tony, thanks for your ctonemms.Hand-Made, not Hand-RefinishedWhen visiting factories of the watch industry, one can see that the operations of forging, cutting, lathing, plating and painting are done by machines.Everything else is done by hand: positioning and retrieval of the parts from the machines, polishing, control, and most importantly assembly.The term hand-refinished certainly doesn't apply to these watches, but the term hand-made does seem to qualify.Made on Swiss territoryThank you for the precision regarding the location of Steinhart headquarters. We can also add the link to their for other readers to find.To be allowed to write Swiss Made on the dial, Steinhart has to comply with of the FHS (Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry). Their movement and watches must be assembled and controlled in Swiss factories, very likely located in the Swiss Jura.To make a parallel, the iPad may be designed in Cupertino, California, but it is Made in China by Foxconn. These Steinhart watches are designed in Augsburg, Germany, but they are Made in Switzerland, in the Jura mountains.Water resistancePerhaps we didn't check the same model. If you had a hard time believing that this pilot's watch had not been made more waterproof, well there you have it: when loading the showing the caseback view of the , we can find a 3 ATM marking, which corresponds to 3 BAR. I agree with you that Steinhart should have built a stronger case, at least 5 BAR.
