Hello, I just noticed that the 2 brand new Rolexes I bought both missing the polishing cloth, wondering if it is a common thing when buying online, and if buying from AD would be complete set.

Not that it matters but a bit incomplete I think. I checked the posting for same watch again and indeed the cloth was not listed at first place.

I'm not 100% sure but I think they are no longer part of the package. Someone will chime in who knows for sure.

Bought two this year and neither one had the cloth.

MonBK · 20 July 2015, 02:40 AM

That is correct

flatmad · 20 July 2015, 02:59 AM

Thanks for the reply... It helped :)

When you buy from a AD they will polish your watch so online buyers have to get a aftermarket polishing cloth.

Congrats to your watches.

Urosfan · 20 July 2015, 03:04 AM

Yup no more cloth

Racerdj · 20 July 2015, 03:14 AM

I like having one with the new Rolex.

1995akcoop · 20 July 2015, 03:22 AM

Funny, i bought a new G serial 16610 and it lacked a cloth. I just thought they forgot to include it. It didn't bother me because I have plenty of calls cloths from some of my older Rolexes but it's good to know that it is indeed package differently now

When I purchased a new Sub from Bucherer in Vienna, Austria in April 2015, I have received Rolex polishing cloth, Rolex travel pouch with the insert, complete documentation. They kept the green hang tag, but I did receive the red tag.

LumpHammer · 20 July 2015, 03:26 AM

I asked at the AD when I bought my Sea Dweller. The lovely (and very pretty) assistant found me a good sized cloth and a polishing logo'd glove!
I left feeling very spoiled.

hbi · 20 July 2015, 03:30 AM

Bought from AD in May this year; no cloth. AD stated Rolex has stopped including it.

treblarefils · 20 July 2015, 03:36 AM

Didnt get a cloth nor do I care. Purchased in March.

Ian Macdermott · 20 July 2015, 03:39 AM

I suppose they have to save money somewhere

Globule · 20 July 2015, 04:15 AM

When I purchased my LN a few weeks ago, the AD gave me a Selvyt cloth. They are superb.

The RSC in Bkk gave me a free cloth when I sized the bracelet on my new watch

Speed · 20 July 2015, 05:02 AM

Uh oh...can you return the watch?

M4rkg4rd3n · 20 July 2015, 05:10 AM

Never seen the cloth with my new watch only the swatch that covered it.

Same here. I've bought a number of new Rolexes over the years for my wife and myself.

tylerad1 · 20 July 2015, 06:28 AM

Not included from Rolex anymore, but if asked politely, any good AD will throw one in for you

GB-man · 20 July 2015, 06:28 AM

They no longer include it. Rolex is stingy on the packaging IMHO. Davidsw on the other hand provided me with one for free with my ALS

tylerad1 · 20 July 2015, 06:28 AM

Same with plastic shipping case (coffin)

Bakasana · 20 July 2015, 06:29 AM

No more, but you can go to a RSC and get 'em by the droves - the new cream colored polishing cloths.

Syed117 · 20 July 2015, 08:51 AM

Not included anymore.

You can get much higher quality microfiber cloths on amazon.

They won't have the Rolex logo but they do a much better job.

Tools · 20 July 2015, 09:25 AM

I'm sure that the OP is talking about that tiny little dust cover in the box and not a real Polishing Cloth. It's been gone for several years....

If you want a real polishing cloth from the Dealer when purchasing, just ask; if they have any they will give you one.

azguy · 20 July 2015, 09:50 AM

It's the vig, your cloth is on fleabay for $45 as we speak

THC · 20 July 2015, 11:09 AM

When I got mine from Boris here Sale2Day i got a polishing cloth and a Rolex handkerchief.. Did not expect either , but was a nice surprise

watchwatcher · 20 July 2015, 11:13 AM

No more polishing cloths anymore...sorry.

s14roller · 20 July 2015, 12:25 PM

IMO, they didn't work that great to begin with.

Maybe that's why they opted to drop them.

Just bought from AD this week and it included 2 cloths
