Dummy explorer 1

Hi all. I was looking around on eBay an I came across a green Rolex box with a "dummy" explorer 1 that the guys said was used for a store display. I am not sure how to put the link up so maybe someone here could do it. Just search dummy explorer on eBay and it will come up. It's at like 200 right now. The guy says he doesn't think it has a movement. I'm not thinking of buying it but it's something I haven't seen before. I wonder if it's a real case, bracelet and dial? If so it could have some value. Would Rolex do this for its stores? Maybe in the front windows so someone wouldn't smash and grab. Or is it just a fake? Thanks

I doubt the watch is authentic.
