I think this is just for exhibition only (10:11) not for sale.

The hand and crown position indicate that the watch isn't functional.

I want it but as other OPs said, I believe it is for exhibition only, unless otherwise should have the price shown.

Yes as others have said they’re not just going leave a free £60 grand sitting in the window for the first passer by.

Not only the 10:11, but I went and found a photo online of an exhibition-only display case, and the sub-dial hands are all set exactly the same there as they are here.

OMG these exhibition models.....

Yes I get it. It gives the A D the ability to be able to show the watch over and over again as opposed to a quick sale to one of there whales or lucky buyers but come on Rolex.

Slap a movement in that bad boy and let someone enjoy that beauty especially a Platona

Hey buy this and you can/will get whatever you want. Oh the good ol days. Never thought in my lifetime I would ever say the phrase "good ol days" especially when it comes to Rolex buying.

I saw that watch. And a RG Olive dial. On both told me not for sale. (But didn’t say exhibition only, though that distinction might have been lost in translation).

Snap it up, I'm seeing reports of many Rolex models in stores all over the world! Must be a influx of stock due to a burst in the supply chain problem. Get them why you can, this won't last long!

I really don’t get why people get lambasted for sharing with others rumors they’ve heard.
I welcome that kind of information, whether it proves out to be true or false, it’s the sharing of information, that makes a forum.

Should every post be … Submariner Date, or No Date (which I have posted myself by the way !!)

Hey, if you’ve heard something, from a reputable source … and I consider an AD a reputable source … share it with the group.

SORRY … THIS WAS MEANT FOR ANOTHER THREAD.

Got to try one on last week at a local Rolex dealer. However, it was a "used" one so it cost $129,000.
