Exhibition Pieces

[ct79]

Just passed through Zurich Airport this evening. The local Rolex jeweler showcased Explorer 2 Polar, white and black OP 39, some platinum Daytonas, rose gold TT GMT, green Milgauss, TT Skydweller, some 41 datejusts in steel, and generally other rather looked after models, but no submariners, gmts or daytonas in steel. All those were exhibition pieces not for sale. I do not know whether other jewelers do this at other airports. But all those nice references are simply there to pile up dust in the windows for no good reason. The friendly sales rep, however, offered to just come by more often, they sometimes have nice pieces for sale. The for sale pieces present were a lot less enticing, however. So he lost me there.
