I have never seen those before, interesting gift. I once got an umbrella, pretty nice actually, but don't love walking around with "ROLEX" so prominent on it to be honest.

I got three cookies and a bottled water with my SD43 last week

I've gotten some pretty nice Rolex publications from other ADs previously.

Yup. Same on the hat. Might not go over to well at the gas station.

Very nice. First time I’ve seen these. Didn’t know Rolex swag included opera glasses.

My AD has given me 2 gifts over the years:
1) a leather jewelry tray when I graduated high school 20 years ago (I remember being confused about this back then, but I actually use it all the time now)
2) an engraved flask for a wedding I was in that involved the family members of the AD 2 years ago.

Neither of these were branded Rolex items. I am, however, lucky that he sells me the watches I ask for when I email. That’s a gift itself these days.

While visiting my AD during the Holidays couple weeks ago.
Awesome SA gave me two gifts.
Totally unexpected, but really appreciated.
Can you guess what items ?

A small gift from AD

That is the coolest gift I’ve seen.

I have received a few things over the years, a tie, umbrella, hat, pen.

But the coolest was very recently, when my SA reached out to tell me he had Rolex personalize a gift for me. Really a nice touch and it was greatly appreciated.

Unexpectedly bought my first Rolex yesterday, 36mm DJ, silver, smooth bezel on a jubilee, was surprised to be given a 3 watch Italian leather travel pouch, first ever purchase of anything from the AD.

Can’t post pics yet, newbie.

I have gotten: Rolex cap, tie, cap, scarf, pen with my initials, umbrella (I think), these gifts are kind of ok….but the real gift for most is getting a watch that’s hard to get and be given the opportunity to buy it it seems.

I have to ask, how much are people who get these gifts spending at their ADs?

A lot. Usually a PM Rolex brings a gift.

Well I got nothing when buying two WG Daytonas, and they won't even let me buy another one let alone give me a gift!

In 30 or so years, I've never received anything other than a cup of coffee and a Biscoff biscuit!
