I am a huge sucker for any promotional gifts 🙈
I have some interesting gifts, but they are more typical. Some Bulgari and Rolex golf balls. Rolex pocket knives. Rolex and Patek cufflinks. Various Patek boxes. Ties. Lot of pens. Magnifying glasses. Moser's mascot panda. Breitling snowball. Heuer towel ect.
I've seen De Bethune scarves. Journe travel boxes. Journe dolls.
I take everything as it comes and it makes me stupidly happy 😅 I never use them. I put it in a "special" closet and the whole “collection" lies there. Especially since a significant part of these gifts, is a low-quality production.
And how is it with you?
Do you also like such gifts? Using them? What are the most interesting gifts in your collection?

Some Chopard watches…
Used to have a LUC ‘coat of arms’ with a beehive and small bees buzzing around 🐝 The family also had some apiculture somewhere or other and the honey was really nice 👍🏻
It’s the perfect intersection of those that still collect these vinyl “toys” and the watch folks.
The collectable vinyl toy / figures market boomed way before the watch market took hold (more in line with the rise of streetwear and the resale market for sneakers). And the production run was small enough that there’s definitely more than enough demand ...
I have a lot of gadget...
...from baseball caps, victorinox knives, pens, color pencils, necessaires, ties, etc.... i dont know what ro do with all of it, tbh 🤗....
No, but, bought it myself, to match the Roger Dubuis.
Usually what i get is necessaires, leather wear, pouches, etc
I love these ,,gifts,, i have them in a room with some other watch related stuff
Just for display 🤷🏻♂️
I think Debethune had some amazing gifts ( duffle bags, wallets etc ) Gronefeld with a great coffee mug. Moser with a amazing inflatable.
So probably the indies have the best gifts 😉
These were cool gifts.
I was promised a pair but never got them. Which was not the end of the world as I already had them (from a different source). I feel like some brands do very well with these things, others don’t. I have a stockpile of Panerai related “gifts” from the 2000...
Yes, that one.
I can’t recall how long I’ve had it but I think at least since late 2000s. Mine has a little more patina than the new one, being in use for so long. I have a bunch of other Panerai stuff like this in a box in storage somewhere. Including several prints by...
You are right. I need to dig those out.
In large part they are where they are because I did not have a place for them. However, I think I do now so I must take action on that.

So great
I don’t often post, but this is a great thread idea. Like others, I have some great Panerai jackets and caps etc. this year i was “gifted” a very nice leather Patek wallet and tie. But is kind of fun, weird and geeky to spend an arm and a leg on a watch a...
Haha yes!
The purchase of a watch is something special that makes me good. But if, on top of that, I receive some cool gift then I feel like a happy child who got a new toy. Can you add a photo of your PP wallet and tie? 😊
The quality PP's wallet looks fantastic
The stitching looks wonderful. ALS and and FPJ wallet work more like a credit card holder than a traditional wallet. Does the PP wallet fit full size bills without folding it?
Yes
It’s a full size pocket wallet. I have never used it, and this was only the second time out the box,
The quality is very nice
Not very functional. Lots of credit card slots but no room put bills without folding
