I will get back my watch in a week Will post some pic later on.
That is strange, why would they require you to remove it. It doesnt make sense. Maybe its to confirm that the watch was sold to you I guess.

The reason for Rolex advicing this migth be the steel pitting that the Green Sticker can cause (as I state above).

That is probably also the reason why Rolex now delivers watches with the peel-off CLEAR sticker.

Just my 2 cents.

I live in HK, so it happened in the Hong Kong Rolex Service Center. Maybe we chinese do everything differently

I guess that it's easiler for them to open the back if they remove the sticker So they need a simple signature to make sure that I agreed to have the sticker removed.

Well, Rolex RSC's and AD's have opened THOUSANDS of Role case backs WITH the Green Sticker still on the back, so I don't think that that is the answer.

I would still say that Rolex omitted the Green Sticker due to corrosion (steel pitting) issues.
