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.

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.

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 :-)
