Use the rest on your fine timepieces.
wow, your dating yourself. Most watchmakers either use a svelt cloth or microfiber. Most fine watches come with a polishing cloth which is either microfiber or this satiny stuff like they use for eyeglasses. Keep unwashed chamois away from watch crystals especially anti glare coated ones because the excess oil will make them look terrible.
