Submariner anchor question
When did Rolex stop putting the little anchor in the box with the Submariner and/or SeaDweller when you bought one?

I dont know when or why they stopped but I was bummed last year as well, I ended up buying one just so I could put it in the box. It's too bad, that was just a little nice treat and it couldn't have cost that much.

Quite a while back...I'm not sure of the year,and do believe it was more of a free trinket from the AD rather than part of a kit!!
I want to say before 2000 but not 100%....Maybe someone else will know!

both my SD and LV didn't come with it.

I guess what's more important is the toolkit.

Still, trinket or not, would be nice to have. Specially one of Leo's gold ones!

I think probably just around the turn of the Millennium. The last time I actually got an anchor with my brand new SUB was way back in 1997...........and I've still got the anchor!!

I got an anchor with my Sub when bought new in June 2006 (from an AD in London). It's still in the plastic packet as I can't think of what to do with it.

I bought one just to have it. Was bummed my DSSD didn't come with one. I almost had my AD make a one off with the 3900m on it just for me to have. Would have been cool.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere that rolex stopped supplying the anchor from 2005 onwards. I could be wrong, I am writing this from memory, but I'm sure 2005 was the year qouted.

Looking for an anchor for mine is like looking for Knomes.

The anchors disappeared around the same time as the holograms and like the holograms in reality a useless bit of old tat.
