Dude, just scrape it off and chunk it. It's a cheap sticker.

Definately remove that sticker!

It's an ideal "nest" for bacteria growth.... plus - on SS watches - salt water can get trapped under the sticker, causing steel pitting in the long run.

When I had my DJ serviced, Rolex removed it themselves.

I asked why - they mentioned it isn't good for the metal.

Honestly - no reason to have it. Prefer the look w/o.

I remove mine. Peel it off, then used a squirt of wd40 on a paper towel to instantly remove the residual adhesive.

No worries, RSc will remove it during service if you want them to or not.
Personally I like it on, no one sees it, yet it keeps a small part of the watch like new.
