They create machines to test their machines that make watches.

They have their own oyster test, which of course provides artificial pressure on a watch.

You know, it's waterproof.

They have a machine that can open and close a Rolex clasp a thousand times a minute, which is kind of amazing because you actually have to open.

It's wild.

So you open this.

It's actually kind of difficult to do.

Imagine doing that a thousand times a minute.

They invented a machine to do that.

They have a machine in Chambord, which is their dial and gem setting location, to sort through all the stones that they're given.

First of all, Rolex only works with IF, which is internally flawless stones, which is obviously the most expensive IS then, to ensure that the stones that they're given, whether it's diamonds or rubies or anything, are real.

They created a machine to sort them at scale and ensure that all of them are real.

And I said, well, are bad stones or fake stones are a problem for you?

They said, no, not really.

But we just want to ensure that every watch we sell is what we want it to be.

And I was like, how often do you get a fake diamond or fake anything?

And the answer was one out of 10 million.

To be clear, this machine was created either by them or they paid somebody to make it for them.

This is their machine.

It's not like it exists outside Rolex.
