So I bought a new GMT BLNR today. As my friend and I were checking the watchband box out he asked if I dropped the cleaning cloth. I told him I never got one. So question is, am I suppose to have one in my box?

It's more of a padded dust cover than cleaning cloth.

Rolex stopped including them recently.

Come to think of it, my 116600 didn't come with it.

I had one with my 114200 bought 8 days ago, it could have been an old-stock box though that they gave me....
Why would they try and save a paltry amount by not including such a cloth?
It may not have done very much, but given that it was the same colour material as the lining at least it gave a nice finishing touch to the contents of the box.....IMHO anyway.

ok congrats, get over the stupid cloth you couldn't do anything with it it was worthless anyway, so show us a pic of your new watch!

I just lick the crystal and clean with my t-shirt.

Oryx · 12 September 2014, 06:32 AM

The new Rolex presentation boxes do not come with the cleaning cloth.

14060m · 12 September 2014, 06:50 AM

wow
you would think if your spending $8500+ that there would be at least something decent to clean the watch with
the nerve

Older boxes have a light green interior and have the top cloth to lay over the new Rolex. The recently shipped box's insides are very light beige. They do not have the extra cloth to put on top of the Rolex. Some AD & Rolex Boutiques have a large supply and are still using the old boxes. My guess is sometime in 2015, the stock of old will be gone, and all the boxes will be the same interiors.

sweetsdream · 12 September 2014, 07:13 AM

I just looked in my box from the Sub-C I bought a month ago and didn't get one either.

I wonder if you get one with a 75K platinum Daytona??

sea-dweller · 12 September 2014, 09:32 AM

Congrats!

SWISSAHOLICS · 12 September 2014, 09:53 AM

Yup a few people have mentioned here that Rolex does not give polishing cloths anymore.

AK797 · 12 September 2014, 09:53 AM

Actually can't sell them on ebay.

Jake B · 12 September 2014, 10:00 AM

Forget about it. If you need a cloth then I'd recommend these--

It's a thing of the past. Must help hold the cost down.

mikeceee · 12 September 2014, 02:15 PM

I was just wondering the same exact thing!

I purchased a BLNR and Z Blue Dial Milgauss last week and got a smaller box with no Cleaning Cloth. I purchased a D-Blue DSSD yesterday and it arrived today in a big box with a cleaning cloth. I was confused

Time Exposure · 12 September 2014, 02:52 PM

Next we'll see watches in the For Sale thread described as "post cleaning cloth random serial."

Bettiah · 12 September 2014, 05:01 PM

I didn't get it in the box with my submariner but the retailer gave me a special cleaning cloth gratis. It depends on your negotiating skills.
