Silly Christmas Gift

So I decided to give my Sub C a good bath this Christmas Eve. After the cape codding, dish soap and vereat applications, I discovered a sticker that I must have missed from six months ago! Kinda gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling I'm sure we all get when we receive our new Rolex!! My watch still looks new and I still love staring at it; it's like a miniature piece of art for the wrist!

Merry Christmas to all and enjoy your true gifts tonite and tomorrow.....family!!

I did the same thing when I got my first Rolex. I was finding stickers months later. After you buy a few of them you start learning where they are hid. Lol

I remember my AD did all that sticker removal for me as he pointed out the various functions of my first Rolex, an Explorer II. Glad he did, I would have never found them all.

Never bought one new from an AD, all pre-owned and vintage. So, my question...just how many stickers are there on a brand new Rolex?
