Starting My Day With This One

If I'm going to be anchored in one place, I want it to be a good place.

Great shot! Do you know when Rolex stopped providing the anchor as an accessory?

Around '95, but Dealers would still toss one in the box until their stock was gone.

Beautiful! Really starting to get into some vintage Rolex models. Hope to get a few before I die

Wasn’t implying this was a vintage piece sorry if it came across that way just saying I bought new last year my first a subC date and am getting more into the older watches from Rolex. Though I’d still love a new/newer BLRO like it on oyster personally

I wish they still gave the anchors away, I think they are about the coolest swag I’ve seen.
