They haven't been in Hong Kong as long as in other countries. I haven't seen any display-only models here before.

Scottsdale, AZ AD has a handful of those. I was a Batman and Pepsi and thought it was my lucky day. Till a associate told me they were display only models.

Welcome to the outside world Simon.
Seems like you have been in isolation for a couple of years now. No unicorns there. All those display watches are in Torneau in NYC. .

Lots of ADs in HK have had them in their shop windows for weeks.

This has been the case with all Rolex AD's in Hongkong since late December 2021. These exhibition pieces make Rolex stores look less depressing, and for the AD salespeople to turn away anyone they don't like by saying "the pieces are for exhibition only and not for sale".

Yep, plus you can try them on. We used to have a group of TRF members that would go out and walk from TST to MK checking out the vintage shops on a Saturday afternoon.
