Dealer Display Items

Does anyone know where I might find some of these to buy?

I’ve tried the wanted board but no success any suggestions would be great.

Its the fish ones and seascapes I need and similar.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thank-you

Display materials are property of Rolex and dealers are instructed to destroy them before disposing of them when they are updated. That doesn’t mean they never appear for sale, but they don’t appear for sale frequently.

You might be able to find them in the classifieds section on TRF, would check there periodically.

Wow.

Pretty cool.

When I designed hotels in a previous life, we used to get these great commercial catalogs and find all sorts of amazing stuff.

Become very, very, very (did I mention VERY) good friends with your AD, or be ready to pay a ton of money when something comes up for sale.

The sail boat piece popped up on eBay for $400... it might have sold. The nautical themed stuff is def harder to come by. Will keep an eye out. Saw you had some nice pieces yourself!

eBay or Jocke.

They pop up from time to time.

I’ve even seen them on local Craigslist ads.

Next time you see a Rolex AD getting refurbished, take the name of the shopfitting company or the sign company. One of those might manufacture them or have a contact.
I was a signwriter for best part of 30 years and did many a gold leaf sign for Rolex but it was always through an arcitect or shopfitter.

I've gotten some of those type of things... mostly from e urope. I am always looking for unique items not usually seen. Waiting for that Rolex chair to pop up.
