Icon20 Boutique shopping bags

Does anyone out there know which is the current shopping bags given at Rolex boutiques at the time of purchase? Is it the one with the rolled handles with gold crown on front or is it the one with flat handles and green crown on front? I've seen both and was wondering which is the newer version. Thanks for any info!

Boutique shopping bags

Not sure. Picked up a 114060 at an NYC AD last week and asked for something less conspicuous than a Rolex bag for the walk back to the office. SA used her lunch bag from a local salad shop. Worked for me!

Green Rolex bag with small crown at bottom. I won't be comfortable walking around with that.

Afaik, They’re all different and market/ad specific. There’s no standard bag from corporate. Same rule as the swag.

Have a agree a bag is just a bag and very doubtful made by Rolex..

I too always ask for a grocery bag whenever I leave with a watch.

The last boutique I bought at gave me a very nice canvas bag with their name on it. Far better and useful.

Not sure if it’s the standard bag, but the last few I’ve bought cane in the green bag referenced above.

I always leave the boutique using a different bag to feel less conspicuous.

I usually use a free gym bag and yell: ‘That place sucks! No public restrooms?’ and then run to my idling Bentley.

Thanks for all the replies or whatever you all said. As being female, it’s all in the presentation and was curious which bag was the current one. I understand the need to leave the store with a plain bag, especially if you live in a large city!!

Yes, I keep them along with packaging from other luxury boutiques.

I’ve purchased 5 Rolexes from 2 different ADs and haven’t ever gotten a Rolex bag - it’s always been an AD-branded bag.

I have a dozen or so from my AD in Vegas and all are green rope handles with a gold Rolex crown emblem on the side.

I know over at Belluso you'll get their branded bag and not ALS, IWC, or VC.

I just traded my 2020 Rolex bag to Davidsw for an Omega NTTD box and 5 Andes mints.

I prefer a non-descript bag so as not to draw any attention to my purchase. The last I would want is some type of Rolex bag or a bag with a jewelry store's name on it.

My AD just provided a nice, quality paper bag that was plain white, think Apple store bag without any logo on it. No Rolex bag offered or mentioned.

Despite being in a very safe/affluent part of town, this was what I would've preferred/asked for anyway. Even an AD branded bag screams expensive purchase inside even if not a Rolex.
