Lately, to me, it's a rarity, as many products that used to be Made in Japan are now Made in Singapore, China, Vietnam, etc....

The only thing I still value as good quality I use every day is my Citizen Eco-Drive Skyhawk.... It works great and it looks awesome....

As far as all the other jazz, well, everyone seems to go for the cheapest manufacturing possible. We sell extension cords from the Philippines, DeWalt power tools from China.... Quality has gone down, but we all seem to live in disposable societies. How else would the economies continue to run if things lasted for a decade or more?
