Rolex Training Facility in Lititz PA
I was speaking with a builder yesterday and was playing the name game about another company I knew in his area. This morning I went on to see some of the work done by the builder and I saw this.
The attention to detail they had is pretty amazing stuff. They even flew to Texas to see what kind of demands they had to meet. http://www.benchmarkgc.com/portfolio...?iprojectid=25 I indirectly know the owner of the company's son, but that is my only affiliation with the company, if you can call it that. http://www.lititzwatchtechnicum.org/ Here is the link to the lititz watch technicum website.

I believe they built it in 2002, according to their website, not sure how long Rolex has been using it. But, it sure is nice looking in the pics.

That is a watchmaking school and it has been there for a while. I toured it several years ago and it's a very nice facility! They also do some repairs and refinishing for the Rolex service centers.

I drove out once to see it. Very nice. I tried to see if I could get a tour but was told that it is closed to the public. Very cool looking place in a quaint PA town.

Very nice! Love the charting a jet to get sub contractors to Dallas. Now I know why the price increase just came :-)
