First Rolex, just bought a DeepSea
So finally decided to join the best family in watch making and bought my self a deepsea yesterday 116660 :) so far the watch looks amazing, but it seems to me that the glass is a bit a smudge magnet. I dont know if there is extra layer of film from the packaging that I cant get off, and its invisible to me. Other ways its amazing watch and love every aspect of it.

Brand new dealer opened the box in front of me, still in plastic, all the plastic is still on the watch, including the one on the escape valve side with the qr/barcode image, but the face doesnt look like it has anything, the bezel has that plastic cover on it...

No problem with smudges here. Did you wash it with soap and warm water?

I wash all of my watches once a week with soap and warm water. It will help keep the watch clean and help keep your bracelet in top condition by preventing dirt/grime buildup that causes premature wear.

If I go a couple weeks without washing and handle the ceramic bezel a lot, there will be some smudges on the crystal and bezel insert. So, definitely give it a wash and see if that solves your problem.

Great watch - definitely my next Rolex - many congrats!

For a super clean, have a look at Veraet watch spray: http://www.veraet.com/ There are quite a few posts about it on here and I have to say, it really is superb!

Anyway, enjoy that big beauty and wear it in good health!

Congrats. My DSSD was my daily watch for 3+ years. I didn't think Rolex but a sticker on the dial. Atleast none of mine came with one. Just wipe it off with your shirt. Don't obsess because it will get scratched and get dirty. Enjoy.

The watch comes from the factory in a clear plastic little case. I've seen a few watches at the dealer in them but never noticed a sticker. when you said dealer opened the box were you talking about the green display box? If you were they don't come in that from Rolex. The AD puts it in there.
