BLNR set question - cleaning cloth
I just purchased a brand new BLNR and just want to confirm if it comes with a cleaning cloth. Apparantly, the set I got does NOT come with a cleaning cloth and my AD said it doesnt come with it. Please confirm. Thanks TRF

Doesn't come with one.
Before they phased out the old school clothes, they used to come with your watch when it would come back from a servicing, but the last time they did that was back in 2007-8 from recalling my own experience. |

Yeah, unfortunately Rolex has seen fit to cut back on the goodies on the newer models.

They phased out the little off white cleaning cloths a while back BUT it should come with a lightly padded suede/alcantara hanky like cover over the watch~

I'm 90% sure my hulk from January did not come with one, unless of course I lost it. It's not really a cleaning cloth though it's kind of just a cloth. Right?

When Rolex changed their boxes in mid 2014, they stopped including the polishing cloth.

There is no Rolex cleaning cloth, but my AD gave me some other cleaning cloth with the word "Chanel' on it.

The alcantara cloth is part of the open style (drop front panel) outer box, with a slotted (rack) inside cover

My BLNR box, the top compartment style, no alcantara cloth.
As Eric points out, this is the new mid 2014 box change. A Rolex upgrade!

I took my new BLNR into the RSC yesterday to get sized and they gave me a nice polishing cloth. There was also the alcantara cloth in the box when I received it from DavidSW

Bought my watch in February 2015 from an AD and it did not come with cloth. My box is same as the OP and post #26 but my warranty card holder is the same version of the OP.
The warranty card holder in #26 looks like leather whereas mine is paper and has an opening for my card.
