They call me when they get a watch I might like. That’s about the best thing anybody could hope for from an excellent Rolex AD.

I've never received anything Rolex branded other than the catalog book. They did offer me and my wife champagne when I picked up my Sea-Dweller and her earrings but we had espresso instead. Also got a Wolf winder gratis.

I was at my AD, buying my wife an anniversary gift & she (SA) offered me baseball tickets for the U of Texas vs TCU game, today. Her husband had been a pitcher for UT & she was a cheerleader.
Thanked her, but turned them down..other plans.

The only "gift" I ever got from an AD was a polishing cloth.
Well that and a damaged bracelet which they had to replace.
They are gone now anyway. Attrition, I suppose.

Rolex gifts from your AD

Ha ha nothing … I guess it’s enough to have gotten the references I wanted. Although once I get my next watch I think I will be done with them .

Clean collection, although in time I think you should get a gold or platinum model.

I've never gotten anything. It's pretty low key, actually shockingly so.

That's cool. It looks really nice. Much nicer than the other winders you see out there.

The day I picked up my Cermit/Starbucks (December 2021) I was also offered a gold Day Date, gold Daytona on Oysterflex, and the platinum Daytona ... I turned them all down. At that time I was focused on completing my Land-Sea-Air. I did very seriously consider the platinum Daytona but I would just be too self conscious/comfortable wearing it. However, I am very much considering adding a gold piece (after I receive the SkyDweller in SS).

i have gotten a hat, umbrella and a watch pouch for various datejust purchases. However, when i picked up my BLNR. I was told they dont provide gifts when you receive high in demand stainless steel pieces.

Heard the same, ADs have to buy that stuff.

It's not cheap and of course right now it's not necessary.

never have; can't even really get watches I want reliably from Any AD.
I seem to be reasonably successful at getting a first watch (sub date, exp ii, tt Daytona) but have never had luck in getting a second.

Had to go gray for my 116500

none of my dealers have ever given a gift.

I received a pen like that. And over the years a few hats, leather watch holder for three, and other trinkets I cannot recall now.
