So are Rolexes hand assembled vs machine built? I realize there machines to do certain things but it appears to be mostly put together by hand or was that just for show?

In all these videos Rolex only what's you see what they want you to see .So to make around 900000 units a year they either must have a huge workforce or highly automated.

This is awesome! I was just thinking about wishing to see the “How it’s Made” within the last 24 hours or so. Perfect timing!
