Dose anyone in the UK have a spare Rolex anchor I can buy or know where I can get one that is not ridiculously expensive? I have seen these for as much as £40.

Thanks

You can buy them for not too much on eBay. Also try the "For sale" section of this forum.

Gave 3 away to various forum members around 9 months ago.

I would love one myself... I'd love to find on in the US.

I have tried eBay that’s where I saw one at such a high price and I haven’t seen any on the for sale forum.

Could anyone sugest a trf member who might be willing to sell one?

GBJIV · 6 October 2008, 04:12 AM

I just bought a vintage one... It was very expensive...

ss date just · 6 October 2008, 04:38 AM

Was that a 200m one? If so I know they are expensive im just after one of the more modern ones I have found a fellow trf member who is willing to sell one.

GBJIV · 6 October 2008, 06:41 AM

Correct - 200m, I purchased it on Ebay from a collector in the UK.

Mwing · 6 October 2008, 07:59 AM

Drumr · 6 October 2008, 08:02 AM

to keep in the box and occasionally look at? cause that's the purpose it serves now :-P

valentine · 6 October 2008, 11:59 AM

I got one as a gift for a charity even I participated in...I participated in the "tattooing to save babies" charity for the march of dimes, and happened to mention that to a watchmaker in my area and he had one in his display case, and I inquired about the price and he said " all good deeds come back" and he simply handed it to me, and said "its yours"...very generous gift. so for sentimental purposes...i cannot part with it...and purpose?? call me an idiot, but I wear mine on a sterling silver necklace around my neck...because i love anything to do with sailing, boating, surfing, etc...I have a HUGE anchor and lifesaver tattooed on the entire right side of my neck..so it goes well.

You own a Rolex.

40 quid is peanuts. Not even a tank of petrol.

Come on my son.

I don’t actually own a Rolex at the moment but I like collecting all things Rolex and plan to turn the anchor into a necklace.

A bit sharp and quite large to wear as a necklace,and to be honest the anchors are not what I would call a real quality item.
