Or do they still give one with each new watch? Thanks, Ed

Some of the first Sub LVs came with them. I bought two subs in early 2008 and neither came with one. So, to answer your question (kind of), it happened somewhere between 2003 and 2008. Probably not the answer you're looking for, but it's all I have.

When I got my Z sub back in 06 it did not come with one.

in addition to this, were they intended as a novelty item or was there a functionality for it? ive seen them worn as a bracelet and on a watch chain as a fob, so what was it purpose if at all.

I think the F serial subs have them with the old box style. D serial subs have newer box with no anchors.

My F serial sublv in 2005 has the anchor

Why do people answer when they have no idea what the correct answer to the question is?

I did not get one in July 2007 with my Z serial LV.

When they stopped giving out the watches... even tho they often require full purchase now.

They were obviously intended to anchor tiny little ships.
