Don't even bother with the coffin. Mine are removed immediately after sizing.

Just peeled mine... After reading through all the comments here, thought it's better to peel them off, rather than having to wait until it doesn't stick.

This reminds me of people who wear sports coats with the labels still attached to the sleeve. Especially the cloth "genuine Harris Wool" labels. Either these are their first sports coats, or they are so proud of owning one that they want the world to see the kind of wool.

Took all that I could find off of my BLNR, but even a couple weeks in, I was still taking some of the random plastic off that I couldn't see when I first did it. Now, it's all off! :D

It's a QR-code (modern barcode) which includes the details of the watch.
