Aquaracer1's recent visit to a Rolex Authorized Dealer, initially for a simple bracelet adjustment, unexpectedly provides a rare glimpse into the elusive world of 'exhibition only' Rolex watches. This post sparks a crucial discussion among collectors about the true nature of these display models and the ongoing challenges of acquiring new Rolex timepieces. Aquaracer1's photos offer a unique perspective on what collectors encounter in AD showrooms today.
...this is the same sign I put next to my towel when I'm lying in the sun...'For Exhibition Only'
Money green leather sofa, got two rides, a limousine with a cheuffa . Love those chairs, could see them in my office.
marketing!!!! Brilliant!!!
We need to ask Rolex to sell you a bigger version of that sign!
...I've noticed that the gals at the beach can be quite 'handsy' if you know what I mean (and I think you do).
sitting in the case, why can't someone purchase it? After going through all the jibber jabber about wait lists, the covid impact on consumer spending, and how it takes 18 months to make a Rolex, she eventually anwered the question of why can't I purchase a watch from the case sitting in front of me...................... she said the exhibition watches in the display cases are not finished product. Specifically they are lacking proper movements, and can therefore not be sold.
