You should be able to buy a Sub anchor on eBay, TR.

Although the anchors were quite useless, imho they were a really nice token. Sad that Rolex has cut so much down on all the goodies that once came as part of the full package of a Rolex watch.

I bought one on eBay. As Bo says it's completely useless but nice to have for the box. As usual with eBay, make sure you have picked a seller with good feedback and who habitually sells Rolex items. This means you are more likely to receive the genuine article.

I think I paid £20 for mine - more money than sense sometimes.

Yep, I agree with the above TR.

My 2005 TT Sub didn't have an anchor, so I asked the AD. He went to the back and came back with one.

If not, then yes, ebay.
