Wonder if they still give that useless anchor when you buy a new Sub or an SD?

Val · 3 February 2006, 05:02 PM

Not at my store...

Not surprised...a lot of guys who recently bought Subs or SDs, did not get the anchor with their purchase.

Val · 3 February 2006, 05:11 PM

I'm curious, were they 18k gold?

JJ,

I got an anchor with my Y Sub. Metal not plastic. Very useful tool actually.

padi56 · 3 February 2006, 08:17 PM

Think they still give them in the UK,yes on fleebay they can be found for around £8.

Tom · 4 February 2006, 01:34 AM

when I picked up my sub last november it didn't have the anchor, I was wondering about that, but not like I need it.

Launch Mini · 4 February 2006, 02:16 AM

NO anchor with my Date Sub ( Dec purchase)

4 February 2006, 02:41 AM

Anchor? Not with an ExpII, but I did get a speleology helmet with mine!

Veritas07 · 4 February 2006, 02:44 AM

Since they changed the boxes they don't give anchor no more-basicly you pay more and get less

JJ, if you want one I got one laying around (BNIB) just PM me your address-it is my gift to you as you are the #1 Rolex Enthrusiast I ever know

And I know a lot od people

Baptistman · 4 February 2006, 02:54 AM

As far as the UK is concerned, the Anchor is no longer supplied.

That's not a hospital gown, pal. Actually it's an Optometrist cloth for cleaning eyeglasses. Also an excellent way to wipe steel or gold after you wash your watch.

kakalika · 4 February 2006, 09:35 AM

My new sub did'nt come with one either. I bought 2 of ebay to use as photographic props. They also make very good nose pickers !!

dman · 4 February 2006, 02:24 PM

I think the improved box is better than the bloody anchor, MHO.

My AD was getting some with and some without, depending on the serial number, he thinks he has none left that have them included.

President Rolex · 4 February 2006, 07:03 PM

Well, I got the new box and the anchor.

Hard to figure it all out.
