very nice read. true question is... did they gift them a rolex? usually in this kind of visits we'd leave with cheap pens and note pads (end up left in the hotel room ;/).

That article is really well done... I was blown away by the factory's automated parts storage and retrieval system. Incredible from beginning to end.

Wonderful article. As much as I have always admired and taken pride in my Rolexes, I now see them in a whole new, even brighter light!

Wow, thanks for posting. Incredible read. I may be gullible or crazy but man do I love me some Rolex. I'm completely obsessed, there's not one model that I really don't like. And then there's the history that comes with a vintage piece and all that legacy behind it.

Jake is a cool guy, I ran into him at a Panerai event and we swapped watches so I could try on his 372 and he checked out my BLNR.

Jake is an awesome guy who has put an amazing site together for the world to enjoy, it is a lot of hard work, and very inspirational and I for one am glad to call Jake a friend. It is about time he got the invite to Rolex!!!!

Yes - an amazing article on an equally amazing site! Will be interesting to see how this item shapes up. Personally I reckon it will do very well!

Actually the problem with the apple watch is the technology to make the watch will always be outdated in 2-3 years. This means that the apple watch will not hold its value. Old technology gets cheaper with time. Rolex watches tend to hold or increase in value. A watch basic function is to tell time and this will never change.
