Intentionally leaving stickers on

[evlkoala]

Please remove it. It's like people keeping the plastic stickers on their phones or on their computer monitors.

I don't think scratches add character just like I don't think that Scratches on a car add character either. If you can't see them leave them on until they start peeling then take them off . No harm no foul no scratches.

This reminds me of the Key and Peele skit with the hats and leaving the stickers and tags on.

[KenNethcole]

I take all off except for the one on the caseback to protect it from the bracelet.

[watchwatcher]

Nope. All stickers must go...part of the beauty of the Rolex (for me anyway) is how good the metal feels against the skin.

[SemperFi]

Take them all off...if you can find them all.

I peel off after a few days, you really appreciate the difference.

Stickers off! I hate when people do that. Or leaving the manufacturers plastic on their cell phone. Or TV, or yes, even couch. I've seen it.

Besides; leaving stickers on is just bad hygiene. Like not washing your hands after peeing.

When you buy a car, do you leave the sticker in the window?

The stickers on the case side start to peel within a week and come off, the case side opposite of the crown. The two case stickers by the crown last a wee bit longer but less than 2 weeks.

The case stickers at the top of the bracelet on PCL models are noticeable from day 1 and I pull them.

Normally within 2 weeks the watch it sticker free.

I absolutely understand what everyone is saying but this is what I do and I am okay with it. This is normal practice where I live and most people I know do the same.

My wife has worn her 1 piece maybe 6 times in two years as she favours her DD so that is why hers is fully stickered and sits in the safe.

Her 2 other pieces have zero stickers but they were not significant gifts and are worn around the house.

Stickers, like Sunburns, eventually peel on their own

I suppose it's good for the next buyer? When I bought my sub I found some stickers were still there but because of that the watch looks like new

[benzng]

first time i bought my BNLR, there were a lot of stickers that I removed immediately, i didnt know there were even stickers in the clasp. PP does not have them.

[d0190535]

off please

[FremStar]

I'm personally guilty of keeping the stickers on all my modern Rolex watches to the point that I have been called a fake collector and/or rumored to not own my watches as I am posting dealer stock! LMFAO!!!! Hahahaha!!! Here are a few pics...





To be honest, there is no rhyme or reason why I keep the stickers on other than I rarely wear most of my watches...

Here is a video I filmed a number of years ago peeling said stickers off my 218235 with a fellow forum member ;-)

If you can't afford the scratches, you can't afford the watch.

[locutus49]

Me, too. Seen some working class people wearing their first sports coat with the cloth label still on. At least I assume it is their first sports coat.

That was what I was hoping. Majority of people can't tell the stickers are there except for the people know their rolex watxhes. Maybe in a few years, I can sell it in mint condition.
