This might sound like a silly question, but will Rolex send you a gift in the mail? I remember when I bought my Breitling a few years back, I got a baseball cap w/ a letter of thanks and a pocket knife the next. Also, whenever I visit my AD, my sales rep lets me know when they get the new catalogue for me to take home and drool over. Should I expect anything like this from Rolex or my Rolex AD?

ratmotortom · 29 January 2008, 09:59 AM

The AD may give you a trinket or two, but don't hold your breath waiting for anything from Rolex.

GerardoG · 29 January 2008, 10:02 AM

Unfortunately, they don't. I was also impressed when I bought my Panerai; I got a baseball cap, a thank you note and a year agenda (desk) with pretty good panerai pics. I still get letters from them and complimentary brochures.

Hamilton Carvalho · 29 January 2008, 10:04 AM

From the AD they may give you something, but from Rolex nope. BTW if you call Rolex at 212 758 7700, they'll ship you a polishing cloth at your request.

well you could consider the gifts already that come with the new watch, what about the green wallets and anchors.....

ttannert · 29 January 2008, 10:07 AM

You get the cleaning cloth with the rolex logo. What else could you possibly want after dropping 12K on a watch?

Didn't get the anchor

Was told they discontinued them @ 4-5 years ago.

96discose7 · 29 January 2008, 10:24 AM

did you get the wallet?

scottschoe · 29 January 2008, 10:37 AM

Rolex needs to improve the packaging of the watches. I don't care for hats, shirts, etc, but the boxes/accessories really do need a huge upgrade.

SSD · 29 January 2008, 10:57 AM

I like the idea of thank you letters and desk agendas. Catalogs, too. Yeah, you might think they would...

That would be great....a refillable ROLEX desk agenda....but as you know, things cost $$$$$. Would be nice....here's to wishin'.....won't hold my breath though.

CoachMike1970 · 29 January 2008, 03:00 PM

I didn't get any trinkets when I purchased my watch. I didn't get the green wallet either. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed. After hearing that a few others received pens, paper weights of pocket knives, I was hoping to get a little something Oh well, at least I got my dream watch!

jtw40475 · 29 January 2008, 04:01 PM

usually it is the rolex ad that gives you the goodies. on my last rolex purchase the sales rep i have established a relationship with gave me a rolex ballcap, a rolex gold pen and a rolex leather note pad (the one with rolex, rolex, rolex embossed in green leather all over the front and back of the notepad), the notepad came with a caran d'ache green pen. i have saw the pens sell on ebay for 180.00 and the desk note pad i'm told will bring close to 400.00, these premium goodies are given to the dealers for employees and customers and they are hard to get. the best way i've found to get them is to take care of the sales rep, send them a gift card. i sent my rolex sales person a 50.00 gift card at a nice restaurant when they called me on the milgauss i bought from them. i was very thankful for being called about it and getting the goodies and they have promised me the next daytona that comes in. so it doesn't hurt to grease the sales rep palm....

SPACE-DWELLER · 29 January 2008, 06:47 PM

I get a large Rolex calendar to hang on the wall from my AD every year.

David "the Hoff" Hasselhoff also got a nice Rolex pen just recently from the AD where he bought his SS Sub Date.

I wonder if that would work with Rolex Australia?

I read the watches are not shipped with the packaging. The AD puts the watch in the box.

ROLEX MAN · 29 January 2008, 07:30 PM

When I picked up my s/s daytona in switzerland, I bought the sales manager, who rang me, a good bottle of Australian Wine.

Didn't get zip!

He probably expected French wine.

Here's my son's GMT IIc back from RSC, I wonder if watches are delivered to store in these type of boxes?

sherwin · 29 January 2008, 07:43 PM

wow... interesting packing

mestreaudi · 29 January 2008, 10:37 PM

Rolex gave me a box for my vintage DJ!!!

Rolex has been sending me calanders for a few years. Mind you, I've spent a few grand on services.

I've received a few trinkets over the years. Got a few golf balls with the latest.

Thank you letters?

Do we now have to write Rolex thank you letters for the priviledge of buying a watch?

koronet-kid · 30 January 2008, 06:56 AM

yes all new rolex are sent to ADs in these packages then when they get sold the AD packs it in the nice double box set.
