                My dad used to have a similiar book but was published in 1989 I think, it shows all middle age (white hair) guys assembling the watches instead of ladies now! Even had an interview with a senior and talked about his work and passion to be a watch technician. It seems now it's more about brand concern and how they had built up the business over the years.. ha ha ha

                        What's the title of the book? Is it ''The Rolex Report: An Unauthorized Reference Book For The Rolex Enthusiast'' ?
