I always peel immediately, out of respect for the watches purpose.

However, with my first PM I left the sticker on the bracelet clasp for the first couple of wears. Just because, PM.

Agree completely ... enjoy the watch man

To wear or to vault ? The answer is obvious.

Have you ever been to someone's house who has the clear plastic covers on their living room furniture? Good God, please peel them off!

Won’t the stickers interfere with taking super high resolution pictures of defects?

Take them off and bin them. Really no need to tape them to a piece of paper and keep with the B&P. I've seen it done...

I peel them off, but inevitably discover more over the following months as they wear.

Isn’t the watch case held together with all those stickers?

This would be like buying a new car and then leaving the white plastic wrapping on the bonnet, bumpers and wing mirrors which protects the paint during transit.

You wouldn't drive your car around like that.

I like to keep my car as pristine as possible, as I do my watches. But there's a limit.

Take off the stickers.

Do most people wear their doable sealed patek while it’s still In the box? Or do they actually take it out of the box?
