Interesting read

I found this very interesting read besides "Is it safe", "Incoming", "Should I polish", "Shortage of SS Rolex models", "Which winder", etc.

Many of you already know about this. But for thous of TRFeres who don't, it's good educational material about Rolex:

Enjoy

Great read ... I don’t know that Rolex doesn’t make their own hands or crystals.

Yes, from this article author quotes:

"Remember, Rolex is arguably one of the most vertically integrated watch manufacture in the world, and it makes just about every component of the watch itself. One thing it does not make, however, are the hands – which come from a supplier called Fiedler SA – and crystals."

Fantastic read ... thoroughly enjoyed, but now it's late. I'm smarter about Rolex, but hungry and late to dinner. I love this sort of read. Wish I had more time to read articles like this.
