Are the parts that make up the cal 3135 movement manufactured by Rolex?

NO. Not all parts in the Caliber 3135 are made in house. The Hairsprings are outsourced, as is the KIF shock resistant part is outsourced and produced out of house as well..
Rolex just started manufacturing their own Hairsprings, and currently only availiable on the 3186 movement and the Daytona Movements. |

I wonder if they possibly source any parts from third countries.
 I mean, they can't make Airbus with all components coming from Germany or Boeing with all components coming from US. Are those examples would make apple to apple comparison?
