This is worth a read:

In the wake of that piece, Rolex bought out the supplier / factory and brought a lot more stuff in house. They really need to do that with the hands (if they haven’t started already with some models).

I didn’t know that. Seems like a half decent explanation/excuse :-)
That dude on YT reviews some Rolex watches that sometimes still have stickers on, it’s unlikely the hands have been tampered with/the watch was open by him. Also, the macro is insane in that video. I am very curious though, I might look like an idiot, but I will take my loupe when going for the appointment with an AD.
I’ve seen rough edges on Rolex’s hands in Watchfinder videos but this is quite different level of negligence.
