So my watch was made in 15 seconds?

I am beginning to think that our Rolex watches are nothing but mass produced watches on a conveyor belt. Yes, lots of design and history went into making the original but producing a ROLEX is literally similar to how Microsoft produces
CDs of its Windows operating system --- nothing but bulk. When Rolex sells millions of watches per year and you do the math the numbers speak for themselves.

Here is some proof to support what I am saying:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex

The first paragraph states that Rolex produces approx 2000 watches per day.

So let the math begin:

Assuming an 8hr workday, 2000/8 = 250 watches per hour.

250/60 = 4 watches/minute = 1 watch every 15 seconds.

Obviously there are lots of estimates involved but the big pic is that with Rolex selling approx 2,000,000 watches per year or even 1,000,000 watches per year,
with that much volume, there is just no way, no matter how you do the math, that your ROLEX got the specialty treatment like they show in the magazines, for more than a few secs.
