Can one tour a Rolex facility in Switzerland?

I'm thinking not but hey, it would be a great excuse to visit.

Rolex is VERY secretive, so very rarely does Rolex give tours.

But here is a little "tour" just for you:

1974 My father went to Swiss and bought a DJ(I guess) from the factory showroom shop. I remembered he told us they did not give tour back then.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured.

Thanks, Bo, for the "virtual" tour.

Now pardon me while I go call my travel agent and cancel that trip to Geneva.

Thanks for the link, Bo. That was quite interesting. At least from the outside, the facilities seem as nice as the watches produced inside.

I believe they only give about 11 or 12 tours a year, but it's only for people in the business...
I went twice (once to each factory), it's very interesting!

There are a select few that have seen the inside of the mothership. It's a rather rare event.
