Were you ever awarded a new Rolex?

Has this gone away completely?

Taking a trip down memory lane...10 years ago, I was a Ford Rep and working with our Ford Dealers in Houston and we used to have Sales contests over the course of several months on a somewhat regular basis for top sales dealers over objective-some of these contests would involve Rolex watches as top prizes. We would bring in a handful of winning dealers in for a nice steak/lobster dinner and then they would have a credit to a new Rolex (based on their rank in the sales contest). The AD would be at the dinner and have a few dozen watches on hand for the dealers to take their credit towards a watch or use credit plus cash to upgrade. The dealers loved these contests.

I work with 1 dealer in the Detroit area that currently provides a Rolex to dealer employees that hit 30 years in service at the dealer - wondering how they are able to maintain this-I have not asked them about what kind of relationship they have with their AD-I am guessing it is pretty good if they have bought Rolexes for 30 year employees over the years.

Anyway, I thought adding this thread would give a chance for people to tell their story if they won a Rolex or were awarded a Rolex at some point.

Wondering if these days will ever come back!
