Sticker Variation
Has anyone ever seen a Rolex with a sticker on the side such as this:
 I'm used to seeing the little barcode printed directly onto the stickers protecting the case, not onto a sticker stuck on to that. Is there any significance to it? |

Reckon that they are Code One or Data Matrix 3d barcodes. Give it a google.

No, I have not sen one like that..
Usually they are clear.. They are a small sticker that size, but they are stuck on the larger clear side protective sticker giving the illusion that they are directly on the larger one.. I wonder if they are doing it on a white background so people can see them easier as a sticker to be removed.... ...........or perhaps that one is not genuine.........  Here is how I have seen them.... completely clear.

All new (M serial and beyond) Rolexes come with this sticker.
This barcode provides a heap of information to the AD. Funny thing with the printing is that it's unstable. Give it a slight rub with your finger and the ink will come off. I took my sticker off and stuck it on to the user manual. |

Nothing to worry about especially if you know that the watch came from an AD. If it's from a watch that someone is selling at a market stall, then that's something else ...
