'Morning all, there's a strange golden blob in the sky, here in the UK,
anybody know what it is?

Just wondering, with all the 'madness' going on at the mo', are the
values of all the associated parephernalia connected with Rolex, being
dragged up the price lists too?

MonBK · 16 April 2018, 07:59 PM

Yes, just look in the sale section.

Flier · 16 April 2018, 08:31 PM

I am no way fan of the hats,wallets etc
I buy my wallets from LV and hats from known hat designers
Rolex makes watches
Its like buying a watch from D&G
They have no expertise in that section
Same goes for Rolex and fashion items

fishingbear · 16 April 2018, 10:26 PM

I actually asked my AD about this ‘stuff’ last month when I was picking up my 116500. Said that they’ve seen a slowdown in the availability of those items over the last couple years too.
I’d hate to know the cost breakdown was on the paraphernalia I’ve received over the years from my AD.
...many many Rolex purchases = a few cleaning rags, gloves, books, etc.

Rolex MAKE watches.

I hadn't even considered 'fashion items', and not interested really. Although
many Rolex 'fans' like all that gear, it's not for me, thank you.
But, thanks ever so, for sharing your views.

Enjoy your LV wallets and hats from known hat designers.
God help anyone caught wearing a hat made by a known
torque wrench designer, or heaven
forbid, an unknown hat designer.

I had, more in mind, the Boxes, Booklets, old
catalogues, etc. etc, etc. you know,
proper "Rolex Stuff".

Lol a bit patronising arent you?
You asked a question about stuff....🙄
A couple of days ago someone dropped a thread about a Rolex hat
You know thats also a part of Rolex stuff.......
Maybe next time you should be more specific than asking about stuff
And yes me and majority of others enjoy our LV wallets here
I dont know if you have realised but the forum reflects quality watches and stuff
And a small search of the threat : watches and your wallet ,will reveal much more to you than you think regarding stuff
Just please when you ask a question dont patronise users here
I consider it personally a drop of the forum level of quality not to mention IQ
You asked a generic question and got a straight to the point answer.....

ADs order (and pay for) whatever Rolex merchandise and promotional items they wish to have to then give to their clients.

Very true, but apparently some people like it, for me it's rubbish

It's always good to have when you get old and poor.

I'd like a Rolex wallet and green Rolex umbrella with yellow coronet on it. Do they make hoodies? I'll have one of them too :)

Majority?
Patronising, I suppose so. I DO apologize old chap, really I do.

Anyway, back to the plot.
Is the stuff that Rolex MAKES, like the Boxes, the booklets, catalogues, price lists, little anchors,
etcetera, etcetera, increasing at a similar rate to the the
time pieces?

I don't mean all the 'fashion stuff', of course.

It’s definitely “Rolex make watches.”

So am I.

Rolex is a company - singular. Therefore, Rolex "makes" watches.

Hmm agreed, however;

Arguably Rolex could be described as a plural collective noun, it seems we may both be right...

You can be flexible with a football team (Arsenal was/were rubbish yesterday) or other groups of people, but I don't think it works with Rolex in the above context. You would never say "Rolex are a great company."

I've got a horrible feeling we're all correct.

Are there any English Language Professors out there?

English, sick, innit.
