I’ve received a couple of Rolex hats as well as a Tudor hat, all too small for my 7 & 5/8” noggin as well as a pen, a keychain and some kind of a golf tool. The pen is the only thing I ever use.

I also got a hat after buying a Pelagos 39 and also got a nice leather watch pouch but that could be that boutique only.

I got this with my AK purchase last year. It was my first purchase. I have purchased 4 more Rolex watches from this AD since and this is the only freebie I have received.

I never wear it - but have to say it’s the best fitting hat I’ve ever had.

My AD has all kinds of giveaway stuff but I always pass on it. It's bad enough that I am wearing the watch, I am not going to advertise for them.

Nothing over a 25+ year relationship with my previous AD. Never thought much of it since they always made it a point to allocate what I wanted.

These days I don't expect much from my new ADs.

5 amazing watches in the last 5 years. No real freebies, other than a nice cold bubbly water every time I go into the boutique. I actually like that more than a hat I will never wear.

The gifts seem to have been from the covid purchase era.

Had pens, perfume, watch holder, toiletry bag and umbrellas.

In 2014 I got a Rolex polishing cloth when I bought my Tudor Heritage Ranger in Italy. More appealing was the 27% discount I negotiated from the AD, which involved him taking on the VAT rebate hmself so I didn't have to deal with that, something that I still don't fully understand.

With my first watch -walk in 2023- they gave me a Rolex cologne without asking. With my second -Air King, different AD- they gave me the green leather pouch, which is really great. Third and fourth, one GMT from each AD, they gave me nothing ��.
I have requested them that nice brown leather three watches pouch. Is exactly what I need, but not in stock

The last time I bought a new watch from an AD was my Omega 321 in 2022.

Omega has it all over Rolex in terms of presentation IMHO, so they don’t really need to give away swag to make up for anything. The watch came with two straps, straps changer tool, a loupe, tones of literature.

Frankly, a lot of the free stuff from Rolex looks a bit tacky (to me). A bit like putting lipstick on a pig ~ no offense to those who like it

Received 2 Rolex umbrellas recently and has certainly come in handy. Nice quality. The Rolex logo is small and doesn’t stand out which is nice.

Yes. Hat, pen and travel pouch as of recent. I left the chocolates behind accidentally.

Let's not forget the bottomless champagne and Macallan 18.
