Nonsense claims edit

It's bad enough that the article is written like a press release, and that there are no sources cited, but some of the claims are transparently bullshit. To wit: "In 1979 the Nivada brand was purchased by a Chinese gentleman, Hakui Sito. The watches were manufactured in rural South Korea by children helping to support their families. Clearly someone just pulled this out of a orifice, or they were completely misled by someone else who did so. First, what is the difference between a "Chinese "man" and a Chinese gentleman"? Second, I think it's safe to say that no "Chinese gentleman" has ever been named "Hakui Sito". "Hakui" is a place in Japan, so it may be used as a surname there, but "Sito" is not a Japanese given or surname. And third, the very idea of watches being manufactured in rural South Korea by children is patently absurd! Since no source is listed for these absurd claims, nor is there any result when Googling for other instances of these claims, I'm going to remove them.
