Stickers on the case back?

This is a two parter:

1) I have a question for the experts here on case back stickers. When did Rolex change form the Hologram stickers with the model numbers to the plain clear stickers they use now?

2) I purchased a Milgauss today from eBay. The seller has great feedback, everything seems to be in order. The watch was listed as N.O.S (New Old Stock) and is still complete with all protective plastic everywhere. I have tags, box and papers. One thing is bothering me.... The sticker on the case back is clear but it has the model number on it too. Is this correct? Thanks for your help!!

It went from hologram to clear sticker with model# to clear sticker with nothing on it. The sticker shown is correct.

I think the clear stickers came in during 2007.

My DJ bought in Sep 2007 had the hologram, but my DD (brand new from Rolex in Dec 2007) had the clear sticker on the back, so yours looks fine

The green hologram stickers went away a little while ago. The new watches are coming through with a clear sticker and the model number is on the sticker. You are OK

Hey friends, Thanks for the feedback on the stickers! It makes me feel much better. Everything looked good and I think I got a great deal ($4200.00). Ebay is a scary place sometimes...... There are deals and there are scammers!!! You have to be soo careful. Thanks again!

You're welcome, Mark - that's what TRF is all about

Great Milgauss, by the way
