Yep....got a good slack handful of the plastic transportation boxes from mine after I commented that they were good for personal storing/transporting of watches

My Panerai AD has given me hats, shirts ans even a nice jacket. They have also given me some amazing books regarding Panerai watches, vintage models and special editions from years past.

My IWC AD has given my shirts and hats also.

My Breitling AD has given me hats and multiple 6 months subscriptions to International Watch magazine.

My Rolex AD, who I have purchased the most watches from over the years, has given me a nice smile after he took my money.

I got a watch-winder once on top of a 15% discount on a Sea-Dweller. I've also got wine glasses, AP leather wallet, pens, books, hats etc. Nothing over the top though.

The staff at my AD are always courteous and friendly.

I don't really need any of those extraneous products, but I'd be grateful if they offered something.

I get loads of free magazines.
A few weeks ago my local AD opened a new shop. We went to the opening and were entered into a free draw. My wife won a free Spa day for two at a local 5* Spa. worth about £300. They still don't know anything about watches though.

Have to agree not a bit interested in any of the plastic or marketing stuff what I aim for is first a discount on purchase price.Then good service plus after sale service if none of these applies at the AD I just walk away with my cash still in my pocket.
