Rolex Gold Anchor...

...Does anyone know where I can buy one of these? Are they solid gold? What can I expect to pay? Thank you so much in advance!

If you are talking about the anchors that used to come with Subs then they not gold and are actually pretty cheap. Gold ones are harder to come by than the silver, probably $50-100 bucks.

I want the gold one... I would think it'd be more money if it's solid gold, right?

They are not solid gold. $200 take you all the way.

There are nicer examples out there and the prices go up but they are easy to find.

Some people (like me) like complete sets. And a set on certain watches is not complete without one. But I sure as hell wouldn't pay the $600 that some people want.

I hear ya... I saw one going for that amount on eBay... I'd pay a few grand for a solid gold one, but not $600 for gold plated..

They're gold plated. Here are a couple in the $200 range:

Always wished I could find a good use for the standard silver pot metal anchor that came with my 16610. I've seen some cord them as a clunky bracelet but to me it looks full retard so mine sleeps silent in the box. Any good suggestions besides Christmas tree ornament?
