Rolex back hologram 2 months later

I have worn this watch for 60 days straight an average of 14 hours per day, washed the watch at least 15 times, and this is what the hologram still looks like. I know it looks like h??l, because I photo'd it right off the wrist without cleaning it up a little.

Thanks for posting!

And IMHO you did well by not pulling the label off immediately as some prefer to do.

On my Rolex watches, I have always left it on there until I could peel it off with ease.

Also, the label does prevent the back from being scratched IF you by accident should have the bracelet touch it

My hologram lasted about a year before it came off.

I have left the protective plastic sticker on top of my hologram for both of my watches. The holograms look like new.

Nice Hologram but it looks like you need to replace the Rolex.

I don't have a hologram on the back of my present Rolex. Had one on my first and it wore off. No sense keeping something on the back that will not last. Just my $.02.

On my GMT mwhich I bought in April of 2004, I left it on until January of 2007, and it looked pretty good. I took the watch in to be cleaned up...not polished but I just had them test the waterproofness and clean the bracelet up a bit, and when I go the watch back my hologram was off. Boo hoo. I don't miss it though. I do have the hologram for the LV still shiny and new though.
