Icon11 Gift Ideas for the Rolex Lover

My husband just purchased a Rolex Oyster, stainless steel band with blue face. He loves his watch and with Christmas coming I was hoping to purchase some accessories for his watch for him. Does this exist? Even just a cleaning solution or box for storing it? I would be so grateful for your input!

Maybe a nice watch box? But be warned, he will be looking to fill it

Vareat cleaning soluton with polishing clothes makes a nice stuffing stocker.

Ditto on Veraet as well as Tapatalk for reading the forum from his mobile phone. A rubber strap from Everest or RubberB would be a good addition. Watch winder from Orbita or a Rolex stand (found on eBay), Rolex storage pouch (eBay) or an Oakley watch vault, or The Best of Time Rolex Unauthorized History (Amazon) or The Rolex Story (Schiffer / Amazon).

Hope these help...

That would be a very nice gift!

I suggest Rolex cufflinks in addition.

Thank you for all of these suggestions! Does Rolex make a watch box? If so, should I be concerned about whether or not it is genuine? I assume a watch box is nicer than the box his watch came in when he purchased it?

Buy a friend for his Rolex to get along with.. So perhaps another Rolex? :)

Umm.. Maybe come up with a cleaning kit? Perhaps some of that vareat cleaning solution (I personally use hand soap), maybe a soft tooth brush, a polishing cloth, and a watch box to keep it in..

A quality single watch winder would make him happy, try going to Jubilee at Rideau Center, they have some nice ones in stock usually, they also carry a selection of leather watch straps for his Rolex just to change it up. Good luck!

If you buy him a leather strap, be sure to get him a Bergeon 6767-f bracelet removal tool as well. Otherwise there may be tears on Christmas morning.

If he wears long sleeve shirts all the time to work or whatnot I also recommend crown cufflinks. Super cheap online. I ordered some myself last week and can't wait till I get them
