To the OP. thank you for interesting video find. But question to the forum: in the final segment of the video it shows a worker placing a finished watch in a cushion placed inside a box ... but would this EVER happen at the factory ??? Aren't the watches shipped separately from the boxes??
just curious .... thanks for any responses.

So how long does it take a Rolex watch to be made from start to finish nowadays?
