You did get one heck of a great watch.
Anything else really wouldn't have been that much anyway. My winders have long since been given away, my hats sit in a closet, I already drank the wine, and the dinner I got is long since forgotten. I still wear my watch, and brother that's all that matters.

Okey Dokey. Me, I'm just happy to get the watch I want (hopefully at a fair price), and some solid knowledgeable service before the purchase!

Yeah that really stinks cos the President of GM called me personally after I bought my new Buick LaCrosse which I thought was nice.

Sometimes I got a free dinner. Couple times got a thank you in the mail. Other than that it's a big purchase but really not different from buying a bag of M&M's.

Be patient, it usually takes the AD about 2-3 months to send you something and it takes a little longer for Rolex due to the huge amount of global sales, so expect something from the Rolex Corp. Offices in Geneve in about 3-6 months.

Don't know what you're looking for, but ask the ad for a free appraisal so you can insure it. useful for you, easy for them and better than a hat or coffee mug IMO.

I usually get a thank you note from the AD. Other than that...just enjoy the watch.

I wasn't expecting anything after my Rolex purchase. But I thought it was nice to receive a thank you note from the owner as well as a hat.
Me thinks there should be a little more value placed on purchasing a Rolex than, say, a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage & Cheese gift set. But maybe that's just me. |

My guess is that it depends on the AD, how many watches you have bought from them, etc. I got some golf tees but i wasn't expecting anything.
I have since called them and asked them to set aside the new catalog, which they did. |

Not sure why you would expect anything from the AD.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask for a baseball hat?

After my Daytona purchase I got immediate attention every time I walked into the shop thereafter. My salesman dropped what he was doing with other customers to resize my bracelet for me. He also personally called me a couple times to see how I was enjoying the watch.
Id rather build a relationship than get a meat and cheese gift. Thats just me though. |

Perhaps you should go back to the dealer and convey your feelings to the salesperson.
Get it off your chest, that sort of thing.

I think for a great many people the purchase of a Rolex watch has been planned for several years.
This can be due to wanting to celebrate a particular birthday/anniversary/event or simply having to save up the funds. Everyone is different but at the end of the day you have a superb timepiece that will last a lifetime. Enjoy your Rolex!
