I like it a lot. I also think its time to take that sticker off the case back. It's a breeding ground for germs. It adds no value to the the watch.

Unfortunately, it does add value. There are many folks that are willing to spend a bit more if they think the watch is in "better" condition...and often case back stickers are used to make it "better".

Sad...but true.

A new looking case back sticker indicates that the watch hasn't been worn that often. A worn out case back sticker (like on this watch) indicates that someone should have taken that sticker off years ago.

Your sub is in great shape, I think you got a fine watch there.

An older watch, but a fine looking Rolex. Enjoy it.
