When I bought my SD4K from an AD last week, though I wasn't given a discount, I was, however, offered a gift in the form of a Rolex golf towel.

Curious what other "gifts" AD's have given to TRF's with their Rolex purchases?

530ExplorerII · 13 April 2017, 07:03 AM

My local AD didn't do much at all. I was basically told that the SS sport watches are selling like hotcakes and I was lucky that I was getting one at all. I did get them down about 5% off list and had them throw in a in a free appraisal...well, a new purchase report, which was a glorified receipt. They treated the transaction as though they were doing me a favor by selling me the watch. A little disappointing, so thinking of taking my business for a new BLNR somewhere else.

My AD hooked me up with a Wolf cub watch winder, and a stack of Rolex cocktail napkins on my last purchase. The winder, sadly, is steadily collecting dust.

AK797 · 13 April 2017, 07:52 AM

I got a tie. I heard umbrellas were the most sort after.

hat, tie, pen, knife, glasses, scarf, lead pencil, glovees, cleaning clothes, winders, books...

I'm sure I am forgetting stuff but you get the idea

I got a ball cap after buying an Explorer II and a Milgauss from an AD.

Slippy Chips · 13 April 2017, 08:12 AM

I love those green ball caps with the yellow Rolex on the side. Those are pretty sweet.

All I got were some copies of the Rolex Magazine :-/

stylinleems · 13 April 2017, 08:28 AM

I got Rolex microfiber gloves and Rolex stamped golf balls when I purchased my BLNR.

When I bought my Bluesy I got a nice discount and a small bottle of water. When I bought my Sub, I got a small discount (no bottle of water).

Why is it always Diet Coke and never regular Coke?

How about a Rolex kitchen sink, doc?

Your free AD swag is a collection within a collection!

A Rolex watch roll with my D-Blue.

HogwldFLTR · 13 April 2017, 05:24 PM

One dealer gave me copies of Rolex mag without my buying anything. I never read them.

Stevieb · 13 April 2017, 05:39 PM

2 golf umbrellas

kelv_w · 13 April 2017, 07:30 PM

How do you UK guys get all the Rolex gifts? I was told that the bigger ADs dont get anything from Rolex themselves.

The only thing I had was a bottle of Moet and more recently in my post I had rolex service pouch and a Cartier cleaning set.
A brolly or a key chain would be nice.

ryan.uk · 13 April 2017, 07:37 PM

I got Rolex handling gloves, but only after I had to go back to the AD to get the operation manual for my watch as a kinda apology.

They did also give me a bigger box for my DSSD because my Omega PO 9300 that I wore in to the store wouldn't fit in the one she originally tried to give me.

That bigger box also didn't fit the Omega, so she then gave me a service transport case to put it in.

Nairn1980 · 13 April 2017, 07:38 PM

I spoke to my AD about gifts. He's an AD but kind of a friend too. He says as ADs can buy all sorts of merchandise and some choose to sweeten deals with them as opposed to discount which Rolex monitors. However he says the merchandise is far from cheap.

However being in the UK, certainly on the most desireable sports models there is no need to give anything away as people are glad to get the watches. They come in and go back out.

I'd be certain that On PM models it's different

hallidc · 13 April 2017, 07:41 PM

I inquired if the AD had any goodies to go along with my watch purchase. Mind you, I've only bought one Watch from an AD, BNIB at full MRSP+tax (DaytonaC)

Discount and typed appraisal for insurance purposes.

Far more useful (to me) than golf balls or an umbrella.
