Rolex has stopped issuing anchors a long time ago. I just happened to have this one.....and it's my only one.

Some ADs still have some previous stock.....so if you're lucky, just ask your AD and he just might have one for you!!

Thanks for the info. I already got a cool ROLEXROLEXROLEX polishing cloth out of my AD so maybe I'll push my luck and ask for an anchor.

Nice going JJ. That anchor would truly would look great as a bracelet, right next to Platty or Bluesy. Or maybe on a chain around your neck...could be cool...
?? if you think so..pics please...gha
