Polishing cloth no longer supplied

[Girkmonster]

I have never used mine. If my watch gets filthy, I use my shirt...if I get paint, motor oil, grease, etc. on it, I use laquer thinner and a rag. Or I just wear it in the shower.

This change will not impact my life one bit.

I live close enough tithe Rolex Canada office that anytime I'm near there I stop in and ask for one and the ladies at the service department desk are always happy to give me one.
I will hang on to my supply just in case

More yoga pants! There you see; nothing is ever 100% bad. Sometimes you have to look for the silver lining.

Same when I picked up mine.

Same when I bought my SDC4K in July.
No worries since the Rolex clothes were useless.
Looks like they have however issued monogram clothes at 2014 Baselworld... who gave a try?

My first good laugh of the day. Thanks

I do use mine to rest my watch on my bed side table at night. I'm gonna go scour eBay and buy every one I can get my hands on before this news gets out to the masses. I bet the price for these babies is going to skyrocket!

I thought I received a polishing cloth, but I found this picture showing what was described as a protective cloth on the left and a polishing cloth on the right. I only received the cloth on the left with my Explorer which I purchased 3 weeks ago brand new from an AD.

I just called a Rolex Service Center. They are sending me a polishing cloth for free!
I think they send polishing cloths only at the request of the customer from now on. (Since it is not included in the new Rolex watch boxes).

My new Sea Dweller 4000 had the new box with no cloth.

[Time Exposure]

The last napkin I got was from a dealer who wrapped the bezel protector in it. Before that, a dealer wrapped a Jubilee bracelet in one and mailed it to me.
I do use the latter to rest my watch on it overnight.

Couldn’t disagree more with the majority of people on here!

Being provided with a decent polishing cloth when buying a good quality which used to be a standard.
Not having a cloth is insulting.
It’s like buying a car without an interior.
The cost to Rolex is minimal; people usually use a cloth to clean the watch???

Strange remarks saying they’re useless -SERIOUSLY???

Wow without this cloth expect Rolex watches will self destruct,like this thread should have 7 years ago when first posted.

Agreed.

Even the just-arrived low-end $400 micro-brand came with a nice polishing cloth. Rolex should also give some serious thought to using quick-release spring bars as much as possible.
