Just had DHL knock and drop my BB58 back from Rolex service centre. Warranty work, on a work call just thanked the driver.
Wait one sec why 2 parcels?
Curious & excitedly open package 1, hmm Rolex service pouch & someone’s datejust, 2nd package my BB58.
Quick call to a Rolex to sort this out!

I would be interested to see the response from Rolex, I take it the wrong one was also addressed to you?

My address on both DHL postage labels but obviously there address on the invoice attached.
Mistakes happen we are all human.
Rolex apologetic on the phone and waiting for a call back.
Wonder if they’ll discount me a sub for my honesty hahaha

Well done. Good to hear of honest actions. Alleviates the nasty doom and gloom we're assaulted by in the media.

Good for you for being honest.
Doubt you'll get a penny discount but they might call your AD and politely ask for you to be allocated something nice. That's the route I'd be going down.

Well karma has to come back round at some point right!
To be honest not in the market for a Rolex, my BB58 ticks the Sub box for me. That and both watch ADs near me are to much up their own arses for my liking!
They are collecting today, but waiting for another call back, my request a pen or somethings else, most likely bottle it as I hatr asking for stuff!
Thought an amusing tale anyways and least I know a 34 or 36mm datejust fits nice :)
Jura Watches once sent me two GS snowflakes when I bought one.
Despite it being delivered incorrectly to you, I'd have thought attempting to keep it would still be theft. On that basis, if it had happened to me, it wouldn't have crossed my mind to ask something from Rolex.
Very noble of you Sir, well done - fingers crossed for a return gesture in kind.
Well done, you have done what I would expect of anyone here.
I couldn’t ask for a gift of thanks but I would hope for one given the circumstances.
It's great to see that we still have people who are decent and honest. While I agree they should offer you something, I wouldn't ask for anything. It's doing the right thing that matters.
Don’t start that again! All collected now and on its way to the correct owner.
Checked with Rolex as not a courier but taxi driver but he has the details. Rolex thanked me and that’s then end of it.

I bought a nice watch from Sales Corner and was very pleased.
A few days later a second watch arrived from the same person which I hadn't bought.
Soon sorted out and sent on to the correct party!
Well done to the OP.
Reminds me that years ago a forum member (can't remember who now) accidentally sent me a very large sum, we're talking thousands of pounds. He'd bought watch off me and when later paying off his credit card somehow managed to send the funds to yours truly. Luckily the payment name on my statement rang a bell and I got in touch and we sorted it all out. For a brief moment I thought I had a very generous, anonymous admirer, chance would be a fine thing!
Cheers,
Gary
I was just about to say I have done the same! Sent a large sum of £ (about £3k I think) to someone on here who I’d very recently bought a watch off by BT... thankfully they sent it right back, but probably thought they were being scammed somehow! Maybe it was you, I can’t remember? If not, then there’s at least two idiots here !
I'm afraid I am shockingly classless and have received a lot of decent gear from makes I own, Rolex, Omega et al just for asking.
The OP saved Rolex a lot of potential embarrassment and it would be remiss of them IMO not to reward him.
I would simply have reminded them of the fact.
Cheers,
Neil.
Well I received a thank you letter and Tudor baseball cap, which is ideal as it doesnt have much of a logo and I actually need one!
I take your DJ and raise you by:
In one of the most bizarre incidents in a bizarre-incident-ridden existence, I received from a PO van one day a few years ago an unexpected large Jiffybag.
Addressed to me, as a private individual. My name. My address incl. postcode.
But the contents were not intended for me.
The contents were, as far as my memory recalls, an absolute shitload of postage stamps of all denominations (sheets and books), pension books, postal orders, and a raft of paperwork from which I deduced that the contents were destined for a local sub-post-office.
This was a few years ago when the use of postal orders was much greater than nowadays, and pensions were usually paid in cash over the PO counter, not the paid-into-bank norm that exists today. There were in excess of 100 pension books.
I didn't add up the value of the stamps and Postal Orders, not wishing to add to the already considerable amount of forensic evidence that I was contaminating the items with.
God alone knows how this Jiffy bag came to be addressed to me.
I took it round to the subpostmaster immediately; I was treated with suspicion, and didn't get so much as a thank-you. To be fair, the area concerned is such that anything out of the ordinary would be best regarded as crime-based until proved different.
This is a bit off-topic, though the same scenario. Apologies for that.
