Pens (several), umbrellas, pocket Knives, polishing cloths, etc.

No gloves, ties, key chains etc as they know my preference.

Normally they have a gift bag for me during New Year and my Birthday.

I bought my first Rolex new out of the box from an official Rolex retailer. All I got was the Rolex magazine, and a travel pouch for the watch. I'm not sure if the travel pouch usually comes with the box or if it was a gift.

Champagne (while I shop) a Rolex polishing cloth, and a hat. I was offered the option of an umbrella or a hat...I wish I picked the umbrella!

In addition to a discount and written appraisal, the saleswoman at the AD offered my wife and I our choice of two very nice wooden jewelry boxes. May have had something to do with the fact that in addition to the Rolex we purchcesed a diamond tennis bracelet for my wife. Still unexpected and appreciated.

All I got from my TRF "trusted seller" was a 27% discount, no sales, tax, and a warranty card with the AD name stamped on it. No swag. What a bunch of BS.

Various things all of which I sell to fan boys who think it's cool to walk around with a branded baseball hat like a walking billboard. Take cheap Chinese made hat, stitch rolex on front of it and add idiot

I just purchased a BNIB BLNR and the AD hooked me up with a Wolf watch winder and a little discount on the watch. It was out of state, so no tax and a pretty decent deal. Way better than my first experience.

Not personally, but I've seen cufflinks, chocolates, a tie, a set of whiskey glasses, Rolex gloves, the deepsea book.

Wolf winders and polishing cloths usually come from my AD with purchases.

I only purchase Subs and Daytonas though, so can't say what comes with other models from the AD. Worth noting, I always pay cash i.e. bank funds and full price for these models if not in TT or PM, so your mileage may vary.

I've bought 4 watches and didn't get any stuff.

Don't want any either.

Just keep treating me right on the price and I am happy. After all, that stuff isn't free either. Someone has to pay for it. And that someone is.............you.

When I bought my Rolex from the AD all I got the Rolex magazine (issue 6 and I was buying a sub), and other books.

When I bought my Omega FOIS however, I got:

- Bottle of Champagne
- Omega pen
- Brand new Moonwatch only book (Highly Collectable)
...and Omega watch travel case (the red one).
