I would say so. I've never seen any evidence to suggest that the watch's movement might get damaged from sitting in the window, and Rolex certainly regard it as a new watch no matter how long it's been in stock. If it has been "shop soiled", then that's a different matter, but as far as I'm concerned, if it's in good physical condition, it should be sold as new
