Does your AD give you official Rolex chocolates?
My most recent Rolex purchase was with a VIP who the AD wanted to please. During my purchase, I was offered a few official Rolex chocolates. I declined, which seemed to surprise the AD staff, and they told me I really should take them.
Since I was never offered these Rolex chocolates during my previous purchases (at different ADs, without the VIP), are these Rolex chocolates normal or are they only rolled out on special occasions? |

No chocolates, my AD only gives me watches and occasionally hats that don’t fit.

Chocolates?!? That's what they give the peons. I usually get a lobster wearing a Rolex crown.
But seriously, I have never received chocolate. Water, coffee, champagne, but never anything to eat.

I received no Rolex freebies on both occasions but I'm just happy to have been allocated what I've requested so far.

I just got a large box of Rolex branded chocolates last month. It’s even listed as a line item on the invoice.

For those that haven’t seen them, the chocolates are in a green box, with a white outer sleeve. On the white outer sleeve is a white sticker tag with the name, description etc. reminds me of the watch box lol.

Amazing! Super cool pic. Multiple platinum watches from AD and I get nothing. Now it's just a transaction and they say things like "let's get this wrapped up so you can get out of here."

Champagne - and it went down too easy, had another one, put my name down for the VTNR - affectionately know as SPRITE, and hey presto I got it within 8 months …
I have had a baseball cap, pen and magazine … When is the new magazine out btw ?

I’ve had tea, coffee, champers &…..cakes! Twice!
They were AD cakes rather than Rolex ones. Very nice indeed though. |

No chocolates. But when they offered a Pepsi, I said please and thank you very much.

Does your AD give you official Rolex chocolates?
Quote:
I got individual wrapped chocolates in AD branded gold wrappers, that were in a Rolex branded green box, along with my wine, when I bought my Wimbledon. It made me wonder if perhaps the guy who refused his allocation was a VIP, because I wasn’t offered anything but a small bottle of water, on previous visits. Maybe you have to be dropping over $10,000, to be given wine and chocolates. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I wish. I love chocolate.
They do give me fairly bottomless champagne though which is nice….until they start looking at me funny. I feel next time they call will be an intervention rather than a watch.
