New watch what should I get with it?

Hi Folks new member here

Got myself a new Yachtmaster gold and stainless, white dial (D serial number so sat about for a bit) yesterday.

Got my waranty, green wallet, calender, green box.

Should I have got some kind of manual with it?

Yes, two booklets....one general Rolex booklet and the YM booklet.

You should also get the RED seal chronometer hang tag and a green one called SWIMPRUF.

And, of course, a dash of cleavage would be a bonus!!

Thanks guys for your replies, I posted twice but the quick reply kept loosing it so 3rd time lucky.

JJ I got the red tag and an oblong green tag with barcodes and price and serial number. Only booklet is a slall green one which is a translation booklet.

about cleavage, must have impressed as I get the first watch service free. So long as the shop is still there in 5 years. Hahahaha.

Will get a picture and post it as soon as I can, thanks for the welcome BTW.

Aside from the mandatory translation booklet (which only concerns the chronometer rating, etc. of the watch), you should have got TWO small booklets - one general and one on the YM itself.

Go back to your AD and insist on them.....then look at her cleavage and say: "Booklets or bust!!!"

Hi JJ thanks for the prompt reply.

I got the round red swiss chronometer tag and a green oblong one with the price and serial number and a bar code.

The only booklet thing is a green paper one that is a translation booklet about 70x100mm.

I was hoping for a big glossy book telling me all about the watch how to screw down the winder to avoid water ingress what to use the rotating bezel for etc etc. Or do Rolex think we all know enough about them and dont need telling haha.

As for clevage, well I did something right as I get my first service free!!!!

And some members (who shall go nameless, but whose initials are JJ Irani ) are more attuned to sheep than Poshbirds. Now if you had called yourself Poshewe, he would have known immediately what your gender is.

But stick around and join the fun here. And do show some pics of that beauty (the watch, too ).
