Daytona - FINALLY!

After searching for a new Daytona from an AD for what seemed like an eternity, my new black faced V Serial finally arrived today. Had to flip my GMT2c and PAM005 to fund the purchase, but I could not be happier. Now, do I remove all the stickers or leave it protected?

Leave the stickers on, it will ruin the watch if you take them off!

Thanks! 2010 has been a trying year for me. This was a little "I beat cancer . . . at least for now" gift to myself.
