You've owned a dozen Rolexes? I wouldn't call Rolex in NY...

You've owned at least one dozen Rolexes?  Really?  No exaggeration?  Wow!  You're a super Rolex customer!  

I wouldn't call Rolex in NY.  I imagine they would pick up the phone, the receptionist wouldn't know what to do with me.  Then one would understandably get frustrated and transfer me to someone in customer service (which is probably more equipped to deal with problems with your watch or questions on how to set your watch or service your watch).  

Then you'd be upset and complain and threaten never to buy Rolexes again.  But don't you realize you're walking into a potential problem to begin with.  You're not going through the proper procedure on how to obtain a cap.  Procedure isn't super strict in the USA, but remember, these Swiss companies are very procedural.  

No.  This isn't a slam dunk idea.  You're probably going to the wrong channel for the baseball cap.  I'm not saying that it's not going to work, but it'll probably amount to one of the annoying calls that Rolex NY gets everyday.  I imagine they get calls all the time like, "how do I authenticate my Rolex that I bought on Canal Street?"  They're not in the business of picking up the phone and answering that question.  Or, "I'm a person who owns at least a dozen Rolexes over the past few years, I would like to speak to someone about getting a Rolex baseball cap."  Receptionist/operator is probably rolling her eyes in disbelief and thinking here we have another person trying to score some swag.  Then again, maybe you don't care what the other person on the phone thinks.  

If you claim to have such a good relationship with your AD, explain to them you really want a cap, and ask them to call on your behalf.  They'll call their account manager and get you a hat.  It's just as simple as that.  

I can't understand why someone who claims to have "been a loyal customer" and have "owned at least a dozen Rolexes maybe more" would go through the trouble of calling Rolex for a hat when he should ask his AD to do it.  Just doesn't make sense.  If you you're entitled to have a hat/cap, call your AD to get it.  

Of course, this is my advice.  And who knows, I could be wrong.  Who knows, you may have a relationship with Rolex NY and a contact there whom will find you a hat.  Do whatever you want to do.  Just make sure you think it through.

Official Rolex Accessories?

If anyone knows a way to acquire Official Rolex accessories, I would be interested in purchasing some items, particularly Rolex baseball caps. My AD doesn't know how to go about getting one and last time I was at her store the Rolex sales person was there...

Those aren't technically for sale...

Accessories such as baseball caps aren't for sale. They're given as gifts to Rolex purchasers. Have you been a loyal customer at your AD? If so, they're visited by a Rolex account manager a few times a year and they can ask for baseball caps on your behal...

and no offense, I don't really care what anybody thinks, I was simply asking if anyone had a similar experience and could offer their advise. You seem to challenge my "claim" that I own or have owned a dozen Rolex watches? My first Rolex was in 1970, a 18...

There are some for sale on some collectors markets, from time to time.

But I am sure your AD, if he really wants to please you, can get one for you. Best, Nicolas

I can tell you the swag bag does not open very often. When it does there are some pretty nice goodies to be had. Count yourself lucky if you score a cap, I've not seen one but I'm sure there nice as the quality of their gifts are the best I've seen. Good ...
