A quick look at any decent jeweler or even your local Sam's Club or the 
auction sites will reveal scores of Omegas, Tags, Brietlings, Tissot , 
etc.with Swiss automatic or manual movements.  Admittedly this is a 
small portion of the total watch market, but a thriving one 
nonetheless. BTW, I love my Omega Speedmaster Pro ("Moonwatch").
