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?

Eric Chan · 21 August 2014, 01:38 AM

Correct. Did not get one when I purchased my 116610 LV back in July.

This is great news for me b/c I have a bunch of them.

Now I can sell on the secondary market.

It will read something like this:

RARE Rolex discontinued polish cloth priced to sell at only $500

SDDS17 · 21 August 2014, 01:58 AM

I have not received one with my last two purchases, DJ II & EXP II. I agree they really do not make the best polishing cloth, not very absorbent or soft. Good for a resting place for our timepieces...

Girkmonster · 21 August 2014, 02:04 AM

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

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).

fishingbear · 22 August 2014, 12:53 PM

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

Time Exposure · 22 August 2014, 01:33 PM

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???

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.

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