I got everything but I buy grey. It’s not a complete set without the tags. It will matter if you trade it down the line.

White Hang Tags

I agree, it’s nice to have all the little extra bits, but to the 99% of people who would potentially buy a watch you decide to sell down the line, a ‘full set’ to them will be made up of box and papers, as that’s all that really matters. Other than the people on this forum or the WIS out there, which make up probably 1% of those who buy Rolex, it won’t even occur to most prospective buyers that an AD’s infantry tag is there or not. |

Yes they kept mine and wanted the green ones too! Fortunately they backed off so I was able to keep the green hang tags.
However they also kept the bezel protector. This was the first time experiencing this several months ago. Apparently "Rolex" policy to deter flipping as though you'd command a premium with these hang tags. Hopefully I get my BLNR next year but wonder what other conditions they'll impose when I go to pick it up. Desperate times we live in. |

I lost $500.00 in a trade in to a forum trusted seller for a missing piece paper from a 21 year old watch. I thought I had everything, all tags box, outer box but that one piece cost me $500.00. Their policy is it is either a complete set or it isn’t. None of these little item are important to me but the watch community had their own set of rules. From now on, I even keep the stickers I pulled of to prove they were on the watch when I got it. Not sure if it matters but who knows in another few years. It’s crazy.

Not sure, but do know I am not one for hype with hot models. Do you think they are keeping the white hang tags on Datejusts?

Didn’t come with my BLNR either. AD said it’s for “inventory purposes”. Of course I’d rather have it than not, but still consider it a “complete set” without the white tag.
I wouldn’t worry about it.

Every Rolex I bought from my AD came with all tags, stickers and everything else many of us on TRF mention.

It’s part of the sale and it really aggravates me what some ADs make up!! Next we will hear that they have to keep the bracelet in case they get audited!!

All my watches came with hang tags, I think it all depends on the AD.

I think it depends on the AD. I bought a BNIB Sub from a trusted seller. Watch came from a USA AD. Everything was there but the plastic white tag. The green string that attaches it was still tied to the bracelet. No biggie, I'm never selling the watch, and a little plastic white tag is meaningless in the big picture. Some may disagree, oh well.

If an item comes with the watch that has the model number or serial number printed on it, I think it should stay with the watch. It is nice to compare these accessory items or tags to the watch serial and know it’s a “set.” That said, I haven’t had any discussion with my AD about the white bar code tags and would have to dig through boxes to see if they included them or not.
Needless to say, it wasn’t even a conversation they nor I felt was worth having. Do I keep the box, cards, manuals etc, yes- but it’s not that serious. Watch goes on the wrist and life happens. That’s what it’s all about. So much focus on value these days.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you ask me, then the difference between a watch that has the full set and a watch that does not could easily be $1000 plus. I would find it annoying in the extreme if an AD flatly refused to hand over papers that rightly belong to me. To be honest it was such a struggle to acquire the watch I have that I would have accepted it if the AD kept part of the papers, as long as I could get the watch, but I would have been very bitter about it. I would on the other hand not blinked an eye if the AD had kept some documents and handed them over later. Taking something and keeping it permanently is on another level as far as I am concerned and demonstrates contempt to the customer. |

White Hang Tags

I agree. It’s nice to have everything, and as the people we are, most would want to have those bits - it’s what completes the purchase. The point I was trying to make is that for the most part, your average Joey doesn’t even know about those things. It’s a reference that only our sorts would use anyway. I have family and friends who own Rolexes, Patek’s, all sorts. Honestly, I could ask them what a full set is, and they wouldn’t know what I’m talking about. Quote:
Yeah, this is exactly what I’m saying in my post. |

I didnt felt it as a dealbreaker or a problem i mean, policy is policy and AD doesnt deliver it it doesnt matter right? I removed the stickers myself and i throwed them in the bin I allready known in front of that visit that it was possible that they refued though cause i buyed a 114060 earlier and it hasn't had the tag with it to(new watch) So i asked the grey dealer and he told me some dealers don't putt it in the box due to some reasons. I didn't completely trust that story later on so i asked it to another very reputable guy and he ensured me that that was true and that indeed the white tag could be kept from various AD'S |

My BLRO that i purchased 3-4 weeks ago from my AD gave me everything under the sun. I've taken the stickers off countless watches from Rolex before but the BLRO just felt like every millimeter was in plastic! (Not complaining). I even found a sticker or two in the clasp area and one of the side lugs, and ring around the underside of the case back polished part i did not know about.
Yes, it came with Rolex box, signed date papers to me, coffin, green hangtag, white hangtag, and a firm handshake from me saying 'you did it again! thank you thank you thank you for this piece". the end! PS: I do find it interesting how some of the coffins have changed over the years and become more streamlined. Maybe to fit the model/bracelet better?

It varies by AD or by country. Some retain the white hangtags (even previously, when they were still green, with the S/N on a sticker) for inventory purposes. At least that's what I heard and kind of matches my own experience. I doubt this policy comes directly from Rolex.

Bought a watch in Turkey and had the same thing. They kept the white tags. Didn't care too much for plastics an left those on!

Yup. I thought I had everything from new. The box, bezel protector, tags and everything was pristine and so was the watch as Rikki just serviced it. The entire package looked like it was sitting in a safe for over 20 years but one meaningless piece of paper was worth $500.00.
