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.

watchwatcher · 10 March 2015, 10:57 AM

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

doc.kool · 10 March 2015, 10:59 AM

Didn't get one with mine or my sub from 2012

I did get one in 2010 tho

redhotmurc333 · 10 March 2015, 11:00 AM

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~

SCsailor · 10 March 2015, 11:01 AM

My 116233 purchased in December didn't come with one either

The two subs I just purchased both came with what you describe.

I received one when I bought my Hulk from an AD in 2013

Rogdogg · 10 March 2015, 11:12 AM

I haven't received one with either of my last 2 watches. A BLNR and HULK

Sal_UKSheffield · 10 March 2015, 11:40 AM

I got one in june 14 with my sub from AD

Sal_UKSheffield · 10 March 2015, 11:41 AM

I have to say tho i never use it tho coz its rubbish imo - i use the cloth i got with a rado (which is 10xs better imho)

Speed · 10 March 2015, 12:45 PM

Uh oh... Are you going to return it? ;-)

omnipotent · 10 March 2015, 12:48 PM

my 2011 hulk comes with it...my 2015 dj2 doesn't

Chadridv · 10 March 2015, 12:52 PM

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?

Rube · 10 March 2015, 01:30 PM

No cloth here with last weeks BLNR purchase.

Al1969 · 10 March 2015, 02:30 PM

No cloth?! I say return the BLNR, jk. Why don't you just ask the AD if they can give you one?

Eric Chan · 10 March 2015, 02:34 PM

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

cholo1030 · 10 March 2015, 03:17 PM

Thank you all for the quick reply and confirmation. I love this community! Appreciate all your efforts!

rollee1 · 10 March 2015, 03:27 PM

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

RollingRollie · 10 March 2015, 03:40 PM

Got my BLNR 2 months ago, didn't come with a cloth either. Does anyone have any recommendations?

x2. Had that lightly padded suede/alcantara cover cloth included as well...(2013 Sub). Will pick up my BLNR next month so will check if it is there.

Marvoon · 10 March 2015, 04:30 PM

There are 2 types of rolex boxes.
The alcantara cloth is part of the open style (drop front panel) outer box, with a slotted (rack) inside cover

rollee1 · 10 March 2015, 05:20 PM

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 believe this will be very helpful! Thank you.

djemmtee · 10 March 2015, 05:52 PM

mine is nov 2014, didn't come with one.

ericg · 10 March 2015, 06:42 PM

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

4srolex · 10 March 2015, 06:50 PM

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.
