It seems like that Chinese sweatshops learned how to make aventurine dials

Depends on what you consider luxury. If tissot and other entry level swatch brands, of course. If Rolex, Breitling and other more high-mid tier brands, no. For instance, do you have any update on the bracelet? I hadn’t received yet.
Any sweatshops offers different options of quality. Do your research.

Yeah, I’m too skeptical about the world nowadays. It ain’t easy to live and think like that, but at the end of the day I think I’m probably right. Don’t trust the government; that’s a good starting point.
Unless they are made in the same factory, and that's my main point. Not only in the same factory or complex, but they are also manufactured in the same country. I'm pretty sure a small microbrand, like some of the ones I've mentioned, couldn't afford to make an aventurine dial in Switzerland. It's much more likely that a "big" microbrand manufactures their watches in China rather than the other way around, even when the dial is labeled as "Swiss Made". I simply don't believe in that bs.
I honestly don’t think it’s just a trend. Hear me out: how long does it takes to develop/design a new watch? I know very little about how watchmaking actually works, but I don’t believe it’s just that easy/fast.
No, I’m just speculating. I don’t have any proof or anything like that, but there are some clear pieces of evidences of what I said. Isn’t it interesting that all of a sudden a lot of microshitters started to make aventurine dials? Also, if you search a little bit, you will find the exact same Serica or CW watch in AliExpress. There’s a lot of YouTube/forums content about it.
