I purchased a new tt sub from ad about 2 months ago, love the watch , a little disappointed , thought I would get some sort of thank from Rolex ,and ad nothing.. Not sure what I was expecting but something would have been nice..

esm · 7 February 2012, 08:23 AM

Really?!?

dddrees · 7 February 2012, 08:24 AM

You did get one heck of a great watch.

Anything else really wouldn't have been that much anyway. My winders have long since been given away, my hats sit in a closet, I already drank the wine, and the dinner I got is long since forgotten.

I still wear my watch, and brother that's all that matters.

Okey Dokey. Me, I'm just happy to get the watch I want (hopefully at a fair price), and some solid knowledgeable service before the purchase!

BogeyFree · 7 February 2012, 08:38 AM

Yeah that really stinks cos the President of GM called me personally after I bought my new Buick LaCrosse which I thought was nice.

Lion · 7 February 2012, 08:41 AM

Does not seem like your experience is out of the ordinary.....what should of happened???

rad87gn · 7 February 2012, 08:43 AM

Sometimes I got a free dinner. Couple times got a thank you in the mail. Other than that it's a big purchase but really not different from buying a bag of M&M's.

steebee2 · 7 February 2012, 08:43 AM

Be patient, it usually takes the AD about 2-3 months to send you something and it takes a little longer for Rolex due to the huge amount of global sales, so expect something from the Rolex Corp. Offices in Geneve in about 3-6 months.

foot massage maybe... a back-rub?

mjclark32 · 7 February 2012, 08:53 AM

Don't know what you're looking for, but ask the ad for a free appraisal so you can insure it. useful for you, easy for them and better than a hat or coffee mug IMO.

SaddleSC · 7 February 2012, 08:59 AM

I usually get a thank you note from the AD. Other than that...just enjoy the watch.

Dan2010 · 7 February 2012, 09:01 AM

They gave me a copy of my receipt...................

imono · 7 February 2012, 09:09 AM

I got the box...

SaddleSC · 7 February 2012, 09:10 AM

I got a fancy glossy shopping bag with authentic rope handles...

threemonkeys · 7 February 2012, 09:19 AM

I wasn't expecting anything after my Rolex purchase. But I thought it was nice to receive a thank you note from the owner as well as a hat.

Me thinks there should be a little more value placed on purchasing a Rolex than, say, a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage & Cheese gift set. But maybe that's just me.

Are you sure the rope was authentic?

Hmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!! Cheeeeeeeese !!!!!!!

signcarver · 7 February 2012, 09:25 AM

My guess is that it depends on the AD, how many watches you have bought from them, etc. I got some golf tees but i wasn't expecting anything.

I have since called them and asked them to set aside the new catalog, which they did.

nauticajoe · 7 February 2012, 09:26 AM

Not sure why you would expect anything from the AD.

I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask for a baseball hat?

tkc324 · 7 February 2012, 09:29 AM

Lol~

HyperM3 · 7 February 2012, 09:35 AM

After my Daytona purchase I got immediate attention every time I walked into the shop thereafter. My salesman dropped what he was doing with other customers to resize my bracelet for me. He also personally called me a couple times to see how I was enjoying the watch.

Id rather build a relationship than get a meat and cheese gift. Thats just me though.

Welshwatchman · 7 February 2012, 09:38 AM

Perhaps you should go back to the dealer and convey your feelings to the salesperson.

Get it off your chest, that sort of thing.

renfield33 · 7 February 2012, 09:40 AM

i got a thank you note from the salesman a week or two after i picked up the watch. not necessary, but nice.

shaark · 7 February 2012, 09:59 AM

I think for a great many people the purchase of a Rolex watch has been planned for several years.
This can be due to wanting to celebrate a particular birthday/anniversary/event or simply having to save up the funds.
Everyone is different but at the end of the day you have a superb timepiece that will last a lifetime.

Enjoy your Rolex!

Dont worry you will recieve junk mail from the AD for the rest of your life. I just got a coupon for 50 bucks off if I spend a 100.

The egocentrism or naively,I'm not sure which (could be both), exhibited so often in TRF never ceases to amaze me!

if you go to a pawn shop what do they give you?
