Stickers have to go. Warning some of you better not open this thread

[gwozhog]

I don’t buy watches for the next guy to enjoy. If I flip it down the road it’s coming with some history. Nothing more liberating than pulling stickers off a new Rolex and wearing it carefree of scratches. I can only imagine the science projects some of you have a growing on your watches underneath those stickers. Pull those funk collectors off.

SA did it for me

[garyk]

They take them off before delivery…

[Mldrake]

Congrats, love the big boy TT!

[brandrea]

Couldn’t agree more. Just wish I could de-sticker my own watches

[goldboy]

All of mine have been de-stickered at the AD. Especially my Daytona 116500 where the manager took over 1 hour to remove all the little ones as I stared in desperation to wear my new grail watch.

I found two little stickers on the crown guards when I got home and I enjoyed pulling those off while drinking an espresso.

They put way too many tiny stickers on these watches!

[Cigars&Watches]

Never had the pleasure of removing any stickers yet..

[fskywalker]

Well done!

Well done, get those crappy stickers off so we can see that most beautiful TTSD 43.

[christian-h]

The standard on Rolex Forum is sometimes really low; this is a good example.

[1William]

Not a sticker fan. Glad when they are gone.

[Harry-57]

You have to remove them yourself?

That's very poor AD service!

Next thing they'll want you to pour your own drinks.

[BLNR Nairobi]

Love it!!!!

[enjoythemusic]

Epic!

[rolexjackson]

Trust me I enjoyed pulling every single one of these little stickers off!

How did you get a stickered watch?

Only possible ways:
- You're a well known Grey who gets to buy BNIB coffin watches
- You bought from a well known Grey
- You're an AD

@christian-h. Lighten up Mr. Fancy pants. It’s a watch forum. If you want to read a humiliating watch thread check out my Rolex and your cupcakes thread.

De-stickering a watch is part of the joy of getting one brand new. I will not deny myself that joy.

The sea dweller has unusual history. It was sold as new old stock from Christie’s auction house. Listed out of a Hong Kong authorized dealer too. Was very shocked to see how many Rolex dealers are in that city.

I just found one on my Sprite yesterday after a 2 months of wearing it. That was a fun surprise. I haven't needed to change the time very often because i was wearing it so much.

[S7gpt]

congrats, dealer took ours off and spoiled the fun !

[Calatrava r]

Not a fan of removing the stickers. Love that ADs now have to do it. Funny how they always miss one or more of them.

[2loaded]

My AD always seems to miss one or two. I enjoy finding the red bar(s) and taking them off and getting market value for them on ebay... LOL j/k
