I have a NIB coming Friday, and I noticed it was on the side of the Rolex. I assume it's for security, but never seeing one up close.

Is it simply black ink that will wear off? Or some type of computer scanner infra red Code?

The latter....some type of plastic computer scanner infra red Code used for inventory purposes. Peel it off and toss it away!

Relax Sam, the sticker police would have nailed you.

Bit surprised that you didn't know.

Its a 2D barcode. There's a TON of info on that tiny sticker. Model number and serial number for sure.

Sublover2166 · 12 November 2015, 11:27 PM

The watch case and clasp are covered with plastic stickers. You will be busy for a bit finding them all and peeling them off. All in good fun of having a new watch.

psychokandy · 13 November 2015, 01:08 AM

I ask my AD to peel off all the stickers when I bought mine.

Yeah, I even found one on the underside of my clasp after 6 months of ownership.

We have sticker dials - and now we have sticker cases.

TimeRookie · 13 November 2015, 05:41 AM

I wore mine for 2 days and found 3 different pieces of stickers on my Yachtmaster after I noticed them in one of my pictures. Time for new glasses I guess...

jdw007 · 13 November 2015, 06:26 AM

dude, you ever bought a rolex before? rofl

DPE · 13 November 2015, 07:30 AM

makes you get up close and personal with the watch, whilst searching the stickers out. Bit like getting Bubble wrap and popping all the bubbles. You feel better after it is over !

Headshrinker · 13 November 2015, 08:07 AM

My Platona is almost exactly one year old this week, and I, too, found a portion of plastic on the back of the clasp. They really cover our watches all over with the stuff.
