RolexRolexRolex polishing cloth

Does anyone know where I could purchase one?

My AD has one but isn't able to order one. I understand I could use any micro fibre cloth but I like the Green/White RolexRolexRolex large polishing cloth.

I've looked on eBay and currently one isn't available.

Thank you!

FYI- I bid on a submariner anchor on eBay. Is the bidder BUY888168 on here? Does he/she have a polishing cloth for sale as well?
Also, why do some anchors have bars and others do not? I hope I am bidding on the real deal.

Call Rolex service center, as they sent one back to me when I had my 16610 serviced while still under warranty. So, clearly they have them!

Well myself would never pay for one, far better cloths around if you really need to polish your watch

Thank you everyone for your responses. I did call the Rolex Service Center and they told me that those cloths ROLEXROLEXROLEX is exclusive for AD. No exceptions.

I did receive a PM where I could purchase one for 150.00 but I am not that desparate. I will keep my open for one. Who knows, maybe I will get one if I go out and get that all gold sub C?? I did just purchase my first Rolex Sub C a few weeks ago. Yep, I've got the bug!!

Thanks Guys!!

X2. I know we all love Rolex on here but I'm not buying something just because it says Rolex. Much better cloths out there.

I'm not obsessive about cleaning or polishing my watches but I figured this kit might be worth trying out of the occasional cleaning. Thanks for the discount code!

Why???
That is the price they usually sell for.... And the one the OP is looking for is the common one that most of the people get... Here you can see the less common version in light yellow and a little bit bigger in size...
btw, I have no idea who PM'd the OP to offer the cloth for 150usd

I concur! For those who want to take cool pics with some tough to get items as props or backgrounds, the Rolex promo stuff is way cool! That said, it NEVER fails that the SAME folks will jump in saying how they would never spend that much $$$ on a whatever item.... but we are ALL here spending big numbers on watches. In alot of the ways, the same thing.

ALL THE BEST

I went to my AD with a used GMT II C TT that I did not buy from them and asked if they would pressure ck it. The watch maker said no problem and would do it while I waited it will be about 20 min. While I was hanging out my sales guy came over and handed me a celophane package with a Rolex cloth and here this is for you we just got a bunch in and the didn't charge for the pressure check either. those cloths can't be all that special.

It's your lucky day...bargain for you! I will sell you my Genuine Rolex Polishing Cloth which says Rolex in Green at the Corner. It is brand new, as I never use the Rolex one, so it doesn't get any black smudges on it. Yes, it's true...all this can be yours for a mere $78.36 plus your pay $6.78 Processing Fee, and $14.84 Shipping and Handling Fee. But wait, theres more....I will even throw in a set of Genuine Faux Sheepskin Handeling Gloves, and all you have to do is pay seperate processing, Shipping and Handling Fee!

I have never used anything from that website before. Is it really good? What would you suggest I buy. I have two datejusts; one TT and one SS. I normally just give it a weekly soap and water bath. Advice on what to buy? Thanks!
