I’d just keep quiet and be grateful I got a pro model from an AD.

AD must collect them for resell or something like that, Rolex produces millions of bezel covers, they care not if customers keep them or not. Don’t trust everything ADs tell you. Next time, just put it in your pocket, you bought it and it is yours to keep.

Last week my AD took all the stickers off from the Sub and kept the price tag, bezel protector, and plastic coffin. Since I’m keeping the watch, I had it sized. It’s said to be “Rolex policy” to discourage flipping as the watch without stickers is no longer unworn and new. It’s mint but not new.

Exactly.

“I can’t buy a watch because of flippers!”

-policy to discourage flipping includes AD keeping stickers/plastic protective parts-

“I can’t believe I didn’t get stickers/plastic protective parts!”

We really can’t win

Some of my watches came with bezel protectors; some did not.
Care I?
Nope.
Stickers, bezel protectors, hang tags - - - it's all a silly contention.

I asked to keep mine on 12LV purchased in April, but AD said they aren’t allowed to give it to me.

No they are mostly put in the plastic recycle waste bin at point of sale.
