Only the chrono24 countries so we dont have to deal with import duties. The watch can be made anywhere you want. Even Ireland.

To clarify, it is the brand country that is important.

5 watches sold from a dealer in Germany are ok it’s a Swiss, Japanese, America’s, English and German brand?

The selling dealer has to be from Europe but the brands can be world wide is my understanding.

Edit. Answered above.

Oh now this is an interesting set of competition parameters!
Looking forward to both entering and seeing how this one pans out.

Are we classifying Panerai and Cartier as Swiss?

C that was the toughest one yet:( I think it must be harder to spend 20k than 100k

I would say cartier are French and Panerai are Italian. Basically, where they advertise as being from. Some brands are owned by a bigger company, I'd say it's where the actual brand are from. So Glashütte Original are German rather than swiss as the parent company is swiss, but Glashütte are know to be German. If in doubt, the wiki entry should clear it up.

My entry in this is my tomorrow job
Today's was installing a new induction hob and fixing the leak in my fridge's water hose
Now that's done, I can spend some time on chrono24 before I gotta write a bloody essay for the psuedo science of sociology :pac:

Not had time yet. Struggling a little with it. Difficult to find anything outside of Swiss or German that I would genuinely buy.

I started putting it together but wasn't happy with my choices as they were just too obvious. This one is pretty hard and has found me out haha. I must try to have another stab of it if laziness doesn't get the better of me.
