Rolex adhesive is stronger

[samcarlos]

I have a hulk Jan 2019 and just received the new blnr two days ago. All the stickers on the Hulk fell off almost immediately with just washing my hands. And the barcode on the side of the hulk was easily removable with rubbing your finger over it. Now I’m at the islan with my blnr and I’ve been in the pool and ocean for two Days straight. None of the sticker have even peeled and the bar code is still present. Good job Rolex.

Why do you leave the stickers on?

I’ll leave them on for about a week then remove them. I enjoy them always. I even dunk it in salt water and don’t mind the sand. It’s just an observation. Just thought you Rolex fans would like to know.

I’ll be sure to keep this in mind.

They are bacteria traps, I’d remove them

Nice!

I also keep plastics on everything I buy for a week.

No....

I just don’t understand the keeping the stickers in mindset. Even for 1 day. I know some people do it, but I can’t for the life of me fathom why.

everyone has their own way of doing things. I’m one that try’s too keep things as prestige as possible but also enjoying them to the fullest. Kind of a rule of thumb for me. For example. I would get my Landrover lr4 detailed once a year. But I would also take it hunting, fishing, camping, and off roading for 5 years. I would enjoy it to the fiullest and when I was done with it. The next owner gladly took it off my hands and is now, more than likely enjoying it to the fullest. But my watches are tool watches and I will always take care of them.

The AD should be removing the stickers as part of the sales process

Your watch, your rules buddy. Dont even have to take it off. No need to give explanations. Eventually those stickers will come off one day, either by itself or by you. Enjoy the watch buddy

Talk about 2nd most surprising Rolex fact of the day.

1st most surprising fact of the day is that no AD has SS in stock.

Yes. I thought this was a Rolex rule now.

Yes my AD removed most of them. Maybe I should have been more specific. I’m talking about the case and case back that I keep on. They are not noticeable at all. I remove all of the bracelets stickers completely. Every AD is different. I’m just fortunate my AD is more relaxed than most when it comes to the fear of flippers.

This. I am also guilty of this sometimes. With Rolex it can be done. For Patek and Ap you really have to peel ‘em off to start wearing. The Rolex method actually detracts from full enjoyment of the watch as the little ears of the sticker rubs the skin.

AP packing plastic is perfect. You tear it off completely and when you remove the tiny clasp sticker and closely inspect the watch, zero scratches.

[Boaters]

Get those off as soon as posible

Another stickers thread.

When will people realize keeping stickers on is as ridiculous as asking the car dealer not to peel off the protective white film applied at factory.
They are simply meant to get the product safe to the end user and not for continued use.
