The entire process is automated except for movement assembly, which is done by hand. I would think movements can be assembled, lubricated, and timed in an hour. Daytonas have more parts and can take longer.

While we'd all like to think our Rolex takes many hours to hand-build, the truth is they're cranking them out VERY quickly. What's remarkable is how they can maintain quality and perfection at the numbers of watches they mass produce.
