    Very sad. And the small label sure say: "this watch is for exposition only"

    Lovely display. Now, that's the After photo (after your daughter's surprise purchases for her dad). You can maybe share the Before photo after Christmas?!

    The arrangement seems to be a bit of a one way street - not in my direction I might add

    Their grey dealers must be doing very well

    This is not a new phenomenon surely?
    What’s the big deal?

    I wonder if this is the ghost of Christmas future

    That's what I took from it. A Christmas display showcasing 'nothing to see here'.

    Spoilt for choice!!

    I went to Dubai mall Rolex, i felt embarrassed for them - huge shop (for a watch shop) and hardly anything in it. They must stand there all day with so little to do!

    Probably already sold out as CPO at 3x the price with a predated original warranty card. Merry Christmas all.

    And yet you can’t just drop in for a chat, rather you need to make an appointment. It really makes no sense to me.

    Agreed, seems utterly pointless.

    I guess they have to do 'something' with the window, and the report is worthy of remark.

    What would you do with the window, given that there are no Rolex models available?

    Sorry Mr misery, I won't bother in future,I just thought it was slightly ironic given the Christmas theme.

    The display looks as if staff forgot to complete the display set up. Even a gift wrapped box in the window would look better.

    This sounds harsh, but they don’t want “Everyone and their granny” (good Scottish phrase) dropping in for a chat.
