Blnr clasp questions

Has anyone seen a clasp on a 116710ln or BLNR the "Geneva" and Rolex engraving mirror on the opposite side of the clasp. Something I just discovered and find a little odd. Took the best photos I can. Any input welcome!

I'm thinking that could be transfer of dirt or grime. Close the clasp and you'll see that the "Geneva" on the other blade of the clasp lines up with the "Steelinox". Try it.

It does and that's what I'm saying (sorry I couldn't put it to words better) it's mirrors on the opposite side of the clasp I haven't seen that before and found it interesting

Take off the plastic! I don't know what kind of moron would keep the plastic on. You basically are putting on a watch everyday that has attracted heaps of disgusting dirt/sweat/bacteria, with no way to really clean it. Take the damn plastic off... I'm looking out for you here, buddy.

In your last picture, the left side of your clasp still looks as if your plastic is still on (the edge or seam of where the plastic ends). If not, is that wear? I cannot tell from the picture but it looks strange or at least looks like it needs a cleaning.

No stickers guys. I'm assuming there was stickers on it right before I received it preowned.
