Anchors


In 2005, a long standing Rolex tradition came to an end. Rolex stopped shipping the famous Rolex Anchor with the Submariner and Sea-Dweller. For many years, Rolex included a small key-ring like, miniature anchor. Much has been written about these anchors over the years - no one is sure exactly what these little trinkets are good for. Some collectors use them as Christmas tree ornaments, while others hang them from necklaces or car rear view mirrors. They don't seem to serve any useful purpose, which is perhaps why Rolex after decades is no longer producing them. Who knows? Maybe in the next 10-20 years they'll be a coveted Rolex collectors item.
