What can I expect to get with my purchase?

After reading many of the the threads here it seems the accessories that come with Rolex watches vary between models and series. Some have even said that the seller excluded some of their accessories knowingly or unknowingly. Can you guys tell me what I can expect to get with the following models:

Sub Date M or V series
Submariner LV M or V series
Sea Dweller (not Deep Sea) M or V series

Thanks in advance all. The knowledge on this site is incredible!

With my LV...I received the outer box, the inner box, the warranty card, a booklet and the hang tags....and the LV.

Don't look for much though. Trinkets and goodies are few and far between. I've purchased 3 Rolexes from AD's and other then the above, I was given a handshake and shown the door!

as far as i know, watches arrive at the AD with only a red and green tag and thier certificate. the AD makes up a bundle, with boxes, booklets and accessories.. get a lousy sales clerk and you may miss a couple of items!

i would expect, boxes, booklet, green leather card hodler with certificate (or warranty card if M or V), chonometer guarantee booklet, red and green tag.. seadweller has a toolkit.

anything else you guys?

In the US, you don't get a leather card holder, you get a cardboard envelope. You may also get a bezel protector, but many times not as they are discarded like the plastic protection stickers... Anchors have not been included for years...

There should not be any variation in the watches you mention except the SD, which should have the SD toolkit.

Anchor is no longer with the sub unless they brought it back? I got my sub in June 2008.

Be glad if you don't get any extras. "Free" just means you don't know what you're paying for something.

I'm talking about complimentary things like a Rolex pen, a paper weight...promotional things like that.

Most likely you'll get a watch, warranty papers, the box, booklets, microfiber polish cloth, and hang tags. If you're looking for any extras, simply ask. I'm sure the will take care of you if you kindly ask for an anchor or whatever else you may be looking for. Remember, you're buying a fine watch. All of those bonus freebies will most likely sit in the box and be forgotten, until their next owner plays with them for the first 5 minutes of ownership.
Good luck in your search!

My GMT IIC did not include the cleaning cloth or bezel protector. I did get them afterwards from the AD by asking for them.

Yeah, I've had to ask later for the bezel protector, you're probably thinking of the infamous Sub anchor. It hasn't been included for a while though.
