WoS’s “for exhibition only” stock

So there's no truth in the rumour that the do-not-sell watches have no movements?

its the ones sent out on shoots that don’t (from Rolex) the GMT i had to shoot was non working and had fixed hands.
off the top of my head i can’t remember any other watches that were dummy models though there might have been (i have shot too many to remember)

Hah! It's good to know there's a smidgen of truth to the myth. I suppose there must be so many watches sent out for photography that they can make quite a saving if the case is empty. And anything sent out on loan by PR or marketing people to photographers can easily disappear in transit.
