    i have just purchased a new DeVille co-axle chronograph and got a box plus manual, guarantee card and picture card in a wallet.

    Should there be any tags like Rolex provide?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    No, there should not be. I guess you bought it via a grey dealer as you would trust an OB and AD to give you all that goes along
    Enjoy your new watch
    Cheers

    Nope got it from an AD. Just used to getting tags with my Rolexes and saw some picture on here with tags attached to some Omega so was curious.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Normally tags should not be given. However some make exceptions
    Cheers

    My OB discards the tags unless you see them doing it and shout "STOP!" (yeah, that was when I picked up my Ultraman, and they opened it up for me :cool: )

    Some countries and OB’s in the US are no longer letting customers retain the tags.

    I’ve heard Rolex is doing this now too.

    Eh, when the person at my OB retrieved them from the trash they just indicated that no one had ever asked to keep the tags before. It wasn't a policy.

    The salesperson I had dealt with a couple times before was great about keeping everything together, even though at the time I was not concerned about keeping some of it. I think it can come down to the individual person helping you.

    I fought with the GM of the OB and they called up stream and would not release the transport box, tags or coffin to me.

    Manufacturers are cracking down on these bits of ephemera. Hang tags, coffins, the outer cardboard transport box all have value to those who have nefarious uses for that stuff. Hang tags seem especially tough to get anymore, many dealers won't let you have them. Sometimes you can beg your way to possession, sometimes you can't. That stuff is nice to have but I don't sweat it, if the hang tag is missing it isn't a deal breaker for me.

    Ugh. Just what the world needs -- more crappy espressos/ cappuccinos. Leave them all for George Clooney. :p

    If you ask the OB nicely, they’ll let you keep the used pod capsule

    I just bought a new Seamaster from an AD (not OB) and they took off some of the plastic and kept the hang tag.

    I got the tag & coffin with my AD supplied Moonwatch last year. The access to the ephemera seems to be tightening but what's frustrating is that this seems to be at the whim of the dealer rather than an official policy.
