Do new Subs still come with anchor?

Hello,

Just bought my first Rolex, a SS Submariner. I bought from an authorized dealer here in Hawaii (Ben Bridge). The sales expierence was excellent. I was just wondering if they still come with the anchor, as I did not get one. I also noticed that the chronometer certificate/Warranty is now like a credit card shape. Just curious if they owe me an anchor.

Thanks in advance.

Go to the Classifieds section on the TRF main page. Jeff, aka Colemantis, has them for sale for about $20.

Welcome to TRF, pal.

The anchor was discontinued by Rolex ever since they introduced the newer boxes.

If you ask your salesperson, they may still have some lying around.

I did when I bought my LV earlier this year and they found one for me.

Thanks for the info Guys, appreciate it. I have been wanting one of these for over 25 years, but could never afford it. Now at 45 years old I finally got one, I guess never too late.

Hey another guy from Hawaii! I got mine from the Ala Moana store. The one nearest the Apple store. No anchor.
