Whats in the Box

[johnnybravo1210]

Hey I have seen some posts about different models of Rolex's receiving different items in there boxes. I recently bought a YM and was wondering what I should of had in there. The main reason I am asking this is because right off the bat I need an extra link and at one AD the first link was free for a jubilee bracelet, but since this is a YM should it have an extra link too?

How many links do you have and how many do you think it should come with it?

I have twelve total, just wanted to make sure I am getting what I paid for

I had to order an extra link and paid for it. $45, or in that neighborhood.

My platinum YM came with 13, so you may be missing a link.

I LOve it...

Johnny wants to play what's in the box?

With the way the forum runs with a topic
This could take some hilarious direction.

So JJ, What's in your box?

12 and a half? or full 13?

I think I was incorrect in my initial answer, but in order to get 13 links, you must be counting the ones that join to the case. I was only counting the links that did not join the case and didn't count the one that is a permanent part of the clasp. Even then I was wrong: there were 11.

Where did you find a link for $45?

I do know that they were quite nice about it. The link to my GMTIIc cost me $90 from another AD, and my newest cost $93 for my SS Daytona, even though it is identical to the YM link.

ok looks like 8 and 4.5 links does this sound correct? and does anyone know the avg price of a link for a TT YM link?

There are two links that join the bracelet to the case, 5 additional links, and a half-link permently attached to the clasp. By the way, my extra link was an SS. I have no idea what a TT link goes for.

[Pete On Tour]

I'll get it right yet. Two links attached to the case, 11 additional links, and one half-link attached to the clasp. That's before my addtional link added later.

I must be too tired.

What is in the box (accessories) seems to depend on where in the world you are.

For instance, in Europe, customers NEVER get a Rolex polishing cloth and also not the "Rolex Service booklet". There also exists a bigger passport holder in cardboard for the certificate that European customers don't seem to get. We get a smaller one, in leather.

A typical full package for the YM in Europe would be:

• Outer cardboard sleeve (white)
• Outer box (very light green cardboard)
• Inner box (green with plastic wavy lines on the lid)
• The Rolex YM watch including its bezel protector and plastic wrappings on casesides and links around and under the clasp
• Suede cloth cover for the watch
• Suede pillow for the watch
• Hangtag, green with serial number + bracelet ref. number on it
• Red COSC hangtag
• CCC certificate (plastic credit card certificate)
• Leather holder for the CCC
• Booklet "Your Rolex Oyster" + "The Rolex Yacht-Master"
