I have never owned or touched a Rolex anchor. Is the anchor made out of plastic? or metal? Could it be turned into a medallion? Does anyone wear it as a medallion? Thanks

Its metal, I'd suppose you can wear them like a earring if you want.
But seriously, I don't recommend it.

Earring? I am a guy. LOL I meant on a silver or white gold chain

They are made of metal. I use mine as a nipple-ring.

henry2703 · 25 January 2007, 03:35 PM

just drop by the AD you bought from and ask them to dig into their warehouse... i'm sure they will have a couple of pieces left...

The YM i got didn't come with any.. i ask the AD, she dug out 2 anchors for me... and i saw she has got a box of it in the drawer

Wow, yachtmasters come with anchors too?

I bet they are nicer then the submariner anchors...

And guys don't wear earings? Mind you, an anchor shaped earing would be a BIG mistake for ANYONE to wear...

I had a heck of a time getting the last one home.

You must list to one side whilst wearing it.

jimcameron · 25 January 2007, 08:33 PM

Honestly, they are not that impressive. At best, I might put it on my key chain. I think it will continue to sit in the box where it has resided for 22 years.

Have the anchors changed design over the years?

Make a tattoo of it on your arm and eat spinach and have a spaghetti-like girlfriend.

Edit: Woot! 650!

This could be an interesting collection.

henry2703 · 26 January 2007, 04:27 PM

well.. i think (correct me if i am wrong) all oysters will come with an anchor in the past... it seems to have been phase out recently. Those that the AD are giving out are the old stocks...

I ask for it and i was given... come to think of it, i haven't checked with they are YM anchor... hahah

mikey · 26 January 2007, 04:34 PM

It looks cool to have.

henry2703 · 26 January 2007, 04:46 PM
