Rolex anchors
Anyone know if these have been bootlegged?
Been looking for a Sea Dweller version and one eBay seller had it listed at $45 which seems low...

Perhaps very difficult to tell from pics too as the original ones weren’t exactly “quality”.

Probably doesn’t matter even if your anchor were a fake

This.
Also, bootlegging a Submariner anchor you can kinda understand being how popular the watch is. But a Sea Dweller anchor?

No, they're not provided anymore. Haven't been for a good few years now.

In the real world the anchor was purely a marketing tool and of no real use, it was around 2005 they disappeared from the Rolex dive watch line up who knows perhaps to save costs but it was quite cheaply made. Many years ago now I gave away free to a few members on forum as they were given to me by a AD who had many spare. And quite a few years ago now while working as a dive guide and instructor, after a days diving I passed a few guys out for open water PADI certification. Later in the evening we all met up for a drink in a local bar, and one guy turned up guess what with a Rolex anchor on a chain round his neck, thought to myself what a complete and utter Pratt a bit like he was underwater .
