Interesting. Seems a lot more automated than Rolex’s setup.

Perhaps why we seem to see fewer Tudor QC issues here than with Rolex

Apologize for the naive question: What is the destiny of the watches that fail the ice droplet, vapor test, ie. do not pass the final step, pressure test? Destroyed?

Interesting how the movement is adjusted to set the hands at midnight. Now we know how Tudor does it. I wonder if Rolex has a similar machine.
