Dear Experts,

When were these green pouches replaced by the clear slimmer ones?

Thank you!

Filipão · 3 October 2020, 04:08 AM

Anyone, please?

I can't say the packaging for Rolex anchors changed from the green pouch to a clear plastic bag, since I've not seen one in a green pouch. I can state that the last of the anchors were contained in a clear plastic sleeve until being discontinued.

Thank you @vintagewatch!

Maybe some other Member can chime in, please?

From the watches I have seen I think it was some time in the late 70s.That said it could vary between countries, but I think that somewhere in the late 70s/early 80s is a good estimate.

My watch has one of these, what were they meant to contain?

The ornamental anchors that came along with Submariners. Dig through that shed of yours and maybe one will turn up!

Hi, I found the anchor and string. It also came with this green pouch, but I thought it was for spare links

Done - do you have a tiny boat to use the anchor with?

swaini3 · 5 October 2020, 02:40 PM
