I am a bit on the fence with this one. One one hand, some AD’s will sell a Rolex with stickers and some people keep stickers on their watches especially if they are not daily wears.
On the other hand, I would typically recommend walking away from any Rolex purchase that I did not feel 100% comfortable with. |

Just to be clear, I would never add any stickers on to a watch or in anyway make the watch seem new when it wasn’t.
Again, any questions please don’t hesitate to ask -CSwatch3945 |

I remove all stickers except the case back one just so I can see how long it lasts. Stickers are stupid unless you are a flipper or you are not sure your like it and want to sell later.

I left the stickers on till they started to peel off, and off they came, one by one.
I just took the last 2 off, 2 years after I got the watch. They delayed the inevitable scratches and small dings. |

Depending on how many watches he has, not to weird at all. My 116500 Daytona is still fully stickered as well as my 114060 Sub.

I don't care how many watches one has, wearing them with stickers on is not normal. |

When it comes to stickers I feel like there are two very distinct sides. Personal use watches and dealer stocked watches. The first is simple, for personal use just do whatever you want, take them off or let them fall off naturally, whatever floats your boat because you are in no way impacting anyone else. However for a dealer, there are a ton of definitions “stickers” means, I can’t speak for all but for me “with stickers” is the highest level of mint there is. It means this Watch was never worn other than possibly for the AD to adjust the bracelet (some AD’s insist on fitting it) and even then it should be stated in the listing that it is “adjusted but never worn”. Applying stickers to make it seem like the AD never removed them is deceptive in my opinion.

Very true, original stickers intact is a sure fire confirmation that it’s never been polished. However when there are no stickers (regardless of reason) 90% of the time you can tell just by feeling the edges, for that last 10% a loupe is incredibly hard to fool.

I can understand a seller test driving. Sure. *Disregard. Reading on it sounds like the guy you're actually in contact with isn't someone you want to deal with.
