Maybe they should just put these in the windows...

exador · 9 September 2018, 05:09 PM

How was the IWC window looking?

I'm sorry, sir. That's been promised to a needy collector. Would you care for a bottle of water?

They could at least move the one on the right over to the other two - save their customers a bit of eyeballing.

JonaG · 9 September 2018, 06:56 PM

Manager: Could you re-arrange the Rolex display, make it look a little fuller, a little more sumptuous.

Salesperson: Errrmm...

Rafabond · 9 September 2018, 07:06 PM

I think they would be closing or opening the store at the time of making the photo, when they close they place the clocks in the safe. No AD has a showcase that way.

Waddy1 · 9 September 2018, 07:38 PM

Had a similar experience in Manchester when I was there at opening and I asked when they are putting the stock in the window and he said "We have"
Same picture haha

London AD's have similar displays and IMO it looks awful to have empty stands in the window. Change the display if there are no watches, but that just looks bad.

It's fun to see that some people defend a company that does not deliver.

Have it been another company so have it been bashing time.

:chuc kle:

1William · 9 September 2018, 09:41 PM

Just when I think Rolex can not do any more to push customers away they out do themselves. I expect more from them and that is probably my problem.

travisb · 9 September 2018, 09:55 PM

Sad but this is how it is I guess.
I agree they should change up the display. It does look like "here are our leftovers".

Scapegoat · 9 September 2018, 10:17 PM

Tough times, but good to be holding onto a watch worth its price.

Chaching · 9 September 2018, 10:27 PM

Don't worry peeps ….. when the next Great Recession hits in a year out or so, people won't be able to give their Rolexes away ……………………………………. . . . . . . . ..

Scapegoat · 9 September 2018, 10:29 PM

Lookig forward... hoping to get a Hulk or 116250 (White)... Pre Ceramic Daytona.......

XZACM102 · 10 September 2018, 04:28 AM

What ? I thought people are only buying IWC in Schaffhausen.

This is what Panerai displays looked like before the wheels fell off. Obviously, this will not happen to Rolex for many reasons, but it brings back memories.

But, we don’t mind if you got the cash.

Seems like there's always a YM available. Not sure why the model gets so little love

Chester01 · 10 September 2018, 09:54 AM

Well, IWC is in the same town I believe? My guess they would have a better stock!

Rock · 10 September 2018, 10:52 AM

It's certainly a unique approach to retail marketing/display.
One wonders whether someone actually thought about how this looks or whether it just sort of ended up this way.
The YM way out on the side may be a clue to what is going on. Nobody arranges a window display that has only one watch (I'm seeing this display in two parts) and then puts it on one edge. Human nature is to place it in the middle.
Maybe it is in the process of being 're-arranged'.

The certainly do have better stock!

Because nobody is buying them.

R!$ · 11 September 2018, 01:54 AM

looks like someone bought all the mens models and left the girls watches LOL

Brian Page · 11 September 2018, 02:11 AM

I tell you what... It sure makes me appreciate what I do have...!

Brian Page · 11 September 2018, 02:15 AM

The irony of this to me is I recall when my local dealer was squeezed out a few years ago because of the amount of floor space and inventory Rolex was requiring them to keep...Kind of like Gibson Guitars....

droptopman · 11 September 2018, 03:31 AM

I would ask for one of those display stands, but I am sure they are reserved for the greys...LOL

kegan · 11 September 2018, 03:54 AM

Also a nice touch using the Titanic like image in the display to add to the vibe
