Searching this forum just brings up discussions of to peel or not. And searching online gets me rolls of tape.

Is there a seller of protective stickers for watches? I use them on my phone in the past and that’s worked well. I figure high wear on the deployant can be avoided.

Polyamide tape, also known as DuPont Kapton tape.

I gnash my teeth making any suggestions on taping parts of your watch though. I hope you're talking internal and not external, right?

Polyamide 6 or 6,6? Or 10,11,12?

Hahahaha. I know people that do this with Scotty Cameron tour putters. They can run a few thousand in many cases and they stick a clear tape on the bottom to prevent scratches. It’s so strange! Lol, no tape!

I do find this less strange than something i read yesterday about a member cleaning their watch every single day.

Look at your favorite auction site, you will be surprised how many he has sold. I use them on my phone tho.

eonflux · 2 August 2018, 02:56 PM

Duct tape?

oroloi · 2 August 2018, 02:56 PM

Wouldn’t dirt accumulate around the edge of the sticker and look worse ?

Personally I’d just enjoy the watch

Exactly this and not to mention they become a bacteria trap too.

Don't, just don't.

I’ve used that Kapton tape on a previous 3d printer bed, after using painters tape. My Prusa doesn’t need it with the new beds.

I use a macbook for several hours a day every day, and i don’t want to prematurely wear the deployant or the macbook. i’ll likely get a keyboard cover of some sort as well. my other option is not wearing it most of the time, or switching out to a cheaper strap or bracelet. I don’t want to be taking it on or off either.

If i was a paper shuffler or hand shake artist i’d leave it be but it seems silly to insure it and then just ruin it grinding it into another piece of metal 6-8 hours a day.

I’ve made some patterns for my own watches. Primarily for the clasp and side of the case. I know it sounds ridiculous but to each their own.

Pm me and I’ll let you know what watches I have patterns for.

Why take stickers off in first place only to purchase new stickers down the road

The real question is, are you buying the high quality stickers or the cheap knock-off ones?

Might make a real difference.

Thanks all, I know this was going to get some snark. ;)

Also is there a way to - move - this thread to the regular discussion? Not sure why it landed in this category.
