On my list of reads for sure!

nameIess · 8 March 2014, 09:24 AM

very nice read. true question is... did they gift them a rolex? usually in this kind of visits we'd leave with cheap pens and note pads (end up left in the hotel room ;/).

subtona · 8 March 2014, 09:45 AM

Jake has posted it here as well.
Good stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Great read.

That article is really well done... I was blown away by the factory's automated parts storage and retrieval system. Incredible from beginning to end.

Wow. Great Read

Wonderful article. As much as I have always admired and taken pride in my Rolexes, I now see them in a whole new, even brighter light!

Rashid.bk · 8 March 2014, 11:56 PM

Wow, thanks for posting. Incredible read. I may be gullible or crazy but man do I love me some Rolex. I'm completely obsessed, there's not one model that I really don't like. And then there's the history that comes with a vintage piece and all that legacy behind it.

Jake is a cool guy, I ran into him at a Panerai event and we swapped watches so I could try on his 372 and he checked out my BLNR.

drjfc62 · 9 March 2014, 03:10 AM

I am even more impressed with Rolex than I was before reading this. Thanks for posting it.

Jake is an awesome guy who has put an amazing site together for the world to enjoy, it is a lot of hard work, and very inspirational and I for one am glad to call Jake a friend. It is about time he got the invite to Rolex!!!!

Thank you so much for all of your work and effort, Jake!

sdwtchlvr · 12 March 2014, 02:07 AM

Very Cool.

strafer_kid · 11 September 2014, 07:20 AM

Yes - an amazing article on an equally amazing site! Will be interesting to see how this item shapes up. Personally I reckon it will do very well!

brownbe2 · 12 September 2014, 05:00 AM

Actually the problem with the apple watch is the technology to make the watch will always be outdated in 2-3 years. This means that the apple watch will not hold its value. Old technology gets cheaper with time. Rolex watches tend to hold or increase in value. A watch basic function is to tell time and this will never change.
