What if any gift did you receive from Rolex/AD when you purchased your new watch?

Today we bought my wife her first Rolex. We bought it from a Rolex boutique at the end of the purchase we received a very nice Rolex umbrella. Is this common or something they do for events like Father's Day that is coming up? I am curious to see what other gifts people have received when purchasing a new watch. Please post a picture of the watch and the gift if you can.

Thank you.

I was gifted a Rolex leather wallet when I purchased my BLNR.

Does the umbrella actually say Rolex on it? Also, per chance, was it raining outside at the time of purchase?

That was a nice gesture from your AD.
I didn't get anything with my TT GMTIIc. I got some Breitling branded gloves, cleaning solution and towel with a LVc purchase and a screwdriver with my BLNR. Not exactly anything to get excited about or worthy of a picture.

I also got the umbrella recently though I asked for a hat... which I subsequently got at the Basel preview. I also got a Tudor hat when I purchased a black bay.

It says Rolex on each panel in small font relative to the size of the umbrella. It's a beast of an umbrella (in a good way) and seems top quality.

Hope they gave you a good discount to go along with that umbrella. That is the only gift I want from any AD i deal with.

A bill for $50 to pay for out-of-state shipping. (I thought they were going to throw out in.)

I did get a Rolex Sub magazine from the AD I didn't buy from. And, no, I don't regret not buying from them--it would have been $1200 more.

Yes it says Rolex on it. I have not opened it fully yet to see what the whole thing looks like. It was sprinkling outside earlier in the day.

I got a couple of evil eyes from the wife when I bought my Sub LV and GMT-C, but nothing from the AD.

Nothing as a gift, apart from a good discount (over 25%) when I bought my first Rolex

When I bought my Day-Date, I got an extra watch pouch. But I had to ask for it. ��

A reasonable discount and complimentary typed-letter appraisal for my insurance company.

Box of chocolates and Rolex magazine.

For some reason the swag doesn't resonate at all with me though
