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."

First time some Rolex perfume: untouch
Second time a great green leather travel pouch which is super useful when travelling.
Third time not even a clip. But watch was a BLNR so who cares ��
Always offered coffee, water and stuff

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.

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.

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.
