Rolex Nic-Nacs.... Continued

For the last several months, I've tried to collect some Rolex memoribilla, but not the usual montage of items. I have a bunch of books, the (white) paper weight, the pens, all that is great, but I wanted to go for the more unusual or nicer pieces of Rolex marketing stuff. Here are the three nicest items I have, of course my quest continues, but I wanted to show these and ask all the TRFers out there what are the nicest (or most unusual) Rolex-branded items you have?

My Items are: A Suede Legal Portfolio, a cotten tennis or accessories bag, and a very nice leather note pad.

I also love to collect items related with my collections. Here are my "artifacts":

Leather bound agenda, billfold, pen knives, and my favorite item: the paper weight.

Kind regards, Abel

Hi Eyen!!
That´s a green Venetian crystal paper weight. Showed by the Daytona to give size idea.
It was a present from Rolex to guests at the 2006 Basel Show.
Was given to me as present by the owner of a local AD who happens to be an old friend of mine.
It´s considered a somewhat rare item.
Thanks for asking!
Regards, Abel

This gear bag is from the 2007 Big Boat Series in San Francisco bay. All the tags are still in place. Also have some other stuff including a Rolex necktie from the Goodwood Revival vintage races

Wait till you see Jocke's Rolex stuff, though!

Is the Rolex zippo genuine ? I used to have one that I knew was fake but I never heard of Rolex actually endorsing them.
