I didn't get the anchor either when I got mine a few months ago. I think they stopped giving them out a few years ago.

The anchor was discontinued when Rolex started issuing the newer style box.

I did not recieve an anchor when I purchased my SUB Date last month. However, I was able to purchase one @ www.qualitytyme.net

A. Jacobs, its funny how it says "like new" under condition for the submariner anchor.

Well at least I know I am not the only one that didnt get.

I got one with the Seadweller, TT Blu Sub as well as the LV... (however my LV is older) funny thing is that I wondered if it'd be a two tone anchor with the TT Blu Sub, but it was th same as the one that came with the LV...

However I'll bet your LVs are the new, swoopy ones.

I called their customer service about the details of the anchor.
They say it is "like new" because they get them from ADs and other reliable sources they claim, so they really can't say the anchors are brand new since they didn't get it directly from Rolex.

I thought that rather makes sense until I saw their new style Rolex boxes described as "brand new". Hopefully they are authentic, because I ordered one recently and they are in transit.

Always steel anchors.....except if you buy the FULL GOLD SUB....then you get a gold-plated one. Not sure if they are still issuing it though!!

They used to give them away at ADs with purchase, doesn't come in the box I don't think.

Well, Ken, considering I am on Sub #7, I know for a fact that in the past (with the older boxes), the anchor actually came with its chain all packed in a long and narrow plastic flat pouch. This pouch was placed in the outer box, sandwiched between the inner and outer boxes.

After Rolex came out with this new style box, the anchor disappeared.

Sorry if I wasn't being clear, I was referring to capoots's question if they should be included.

I just got an SD. I didn't get the anchor and I didn't get a buff-cloth either.

When I was being shown Rolex's prior to my official purchase, after each watch I looked at, the AD would just use a plain white cloth to buff the watch and place it back in the case, so I'm assuming even the AD's don't get the Rolex buff's either.

I plan on getting the anchor and cloth somewhere else. Maybe Qualitytime.
