Now that plastic coffins are no longer used, are they worth more now that they are discontinued

Or...do you prefer paper or plastic

sski · 8 January 2022, 08:44 AM

what they should do is release a final batch of Tiffany blue colored plastic coffins....with box and papers too for good measure.

amphr1 · 8 January 2022, 08:47 AM

aren't those only for when you get them back from RSC?

Danny83 · 8 January 2022, 08:52 AM

Congrats

I love the plastic coffins when I’m shipping a watch out to a buyer. They are super convenient. Outside of that, I’ve never used one.

arcampado · 8 January 2022, 08:56 AM

Nice one Brian, I got a good laugh out of it

inadeje · 8 January 2022, 08:58 AM

I still got a plastic coffin with my latest Rolex from an AD

briboxer · 8 January 2022, 09:00 AM

Was just bored and looking for some amusement;)
They really only come in handy for sending out a watch for repair or if selling watch only.
Maybe I should start painting them???blue, red, yellow, green:) LOL

I've been getting non stop requests of people trying to buy up my plastic ones

I’ve built up an impressive collection of these over the years.

No, when a new watch arrives to the AD.

The plastic coffins are great. I’ve built up a sizable collection of them. I use them to store watches in the safe and safe deposit box when not wearing. I pick up a few from my AD every time I buy a watch.

Does EVERYTHING about Rolex have to be about money and resale???????

D@mn, just enjoy the watch and give that side of Rolex a rest!

Just picked up a watch last week, and it came with the coffin.

illiguy · 9 January 2022, 05:07 AM

The paper carton is how new Rolex watches arrive to ADs. My AD confirmed and showed me around Thanksgiving.

If you’ve gotten one in the older, plastic coffin, would think your AD moved it to that one for better protection or shipping.

RSC also gave me one, as well as a green pouch, when I collected my DJ from them.

brandrea · 9 January 2022, 07:53 AM

I’ve never actually seen one

fskywalker · 9 January 2022, 09:10 AM

so true I really dislike this side of WIS today

emphasis on I in WIS

Cru Jones · 9 January 2022, 09:43 AM

Since most of the time they just end up in the garbage, it’s a good move by Rolex to drop the plastic.

DoctorA · 9 January 2022, 11:52 AM

I got the call for a plastic coffin incoming
