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.

Well easy when you think of it,all watch parts are machine made and mass produced just like many other volume watch manufactures.And being machine made to a very high tolerence they should be all the same its that simple.There are only 8,760 hours or 525,600 minutes in a full year,Rolex produce 900,000 plus watches a year so do the sums its that simple.And if the movements are all completely hand built they sure must have a huge workforce but its still one remarkable watch.
