I would 100% agree with this.
They only wear them for the event and hand them back at the end. I've witnessed this personally at an event.
Yeah, makes sense that TAG would want all the celebs wearing their brand at such events and has loaner watches prepared. But it also seems that certain select VIPs are given watches as gifts. I've seen Dempsey wear the same watches after the event, so I assume most of his are gifts. But I'd be more impressed if he actually did buy them, perhaps he has.

To be fair to TAG, in the past I have seen current models in Bicester, in one case a Calibre 16 Carrera that wasn't even in the catalogue I think - and when I asked how come they had these current pieces they told me they were used for photo shoots or publicity events. So while they may take them back, they don't necessarily go to Beaverbrooks the next day. And even if they do, if they are undamaged its no worse than buying a watch 50 people have tried on before you...

I seem to recall boutiques tend to get demo units that are not meant for sale. However, I don't know if that's the case with LEs.

Boutiques maybe, probably not high street jewellers?

I was able to check out my friends Carrera. IMO It’s a pretty killer looking watch and the 42mm case wears pretty good on my wrist. I only had a few moments with it but look forward to seeing regularly.

Dom, in real life does the subdial surround look white? Cos it sure as hell looks silver to me.

Yes, the subdials are more reflective and thus have a more silver look.

Pretty sure these are the same colour as the Dato. Whitish silver

Subdial surrounds are banked at an angle. Depending on the lighting they seem to color shift with the inner subdial. Perhaps the surrounds are catching some of the reflection from the concentric circles.

Here in these pics it's clear that the subdial and main dial are all the same color.
