Plastics on a BNIB watch
Just received a new Rolex and was going to get it sized at an AD. It came BNIB from a trusted seller here on TRF, so I am not at all concerned whether it is authentic or not. However, I do have a question. As I am removing all the plastics, bezel protector, etc, I tried to take off plastic from the face of the watch, but I couldn't get one off. Does plastic come on the face of a brand new watch? Just curious. I rubbed the face of this one compared to my other Rolex and it does feel a bit "filmy." I don't want to keep trying to pull something off that doesn't exist... ha ha. Ideas? Thanks.

I have never had a BNIB Rolex with a sticker on the crystal itself.

No, new Rolex's don't come from the factory with a protective plastic on the glass. Maybe a plastic bezel protector, but not on the face unless the AD has put wrapped their own plastic on it, in which case it'd be obvious. Just give it a wash and you should be fine!

Just us moderate pressure using 80 grit sand paper and it'll come right of the crystal.

 I love this forum. So many helpful people on here. Thanks for all the info and good to know there is no film on the crystal; saves me from trying to pick something off that is not there

When i bought my 16610 about 6 years ago it came with a clear face sticker. I think, but maybe wrong.
 Anyway, that is a beautiful looking watch

Congrats. Don't worry. You will find stickers for 6 months. I don't know how Rolex does it but they put stickers everywhere but the crystal. I rink if I opened the case back I'd find stickers on the mvt. LOL
