Rolex Operational Headquarters Geneve, I'm watching you!
As impossible as it is to see inside Rolex SA, Geneve it is still possible to get a different perspective on what they are up to
 You can see that there are several buildings to the Rolex Complex consisting of what appears to be at least 3 separate building on the site. This first photograph is from Google Maps showing the Rolex Complex and building layout (note the Hans Wilsdorf Avenue far right): Next we have the Swiss Yellow Pages aerial photo (sorry) it is a smaller photo. The blue dot marker indicates I believe the main entrance and the latest building of the Rolex headquarters: Finally we have an historic photo that shows the building in the centre of the the 2 preceding photographs. It is a kind of a flat "z" shaped building (quite strange) but unmistakable. My belief is that the second aerial photograph is the most recent. Yyyyyeeeeah baaaabe, detective work on Rolex, they can't keep any secrets from me    Intelligence reports indicate, tight security all round   Looks like the local AD is a better option.

I'm sorry the server is a bit slow this time of day, it is doing a backup so you might need to give it 20 or so seconds for the photos to load.

I thought someone posted a picture yesterday showing the Rolex garden and going on about it being put together recently, if that's true then the first picture would be the more recent, although i could be well off as they might have had to sack the gardener due to money troubles after the slow uptake on DSSDs
