Aren't those sticker part of the watch? Just kidding. Peeling it off is part of the enjoyment of obtaining a Rolex.

Don’t peel the stickers off. The watch will fall apart.

Judging by the OP's question, answers to yours could very well be yes.

I take them off as they would get scratched otherwise.

If you paid attention to your personal hygiene you would not have asked that question.

In the instances that I was able to get a watch with stickers on, I have peeled one sticker off every day that I am wearing the watch. Once the last sticker comes off, I know it’s mine.

I know I’m weird.

If you wear it, peel them. If not, leave them.

I’m really thinking about creating a company that makes precise new stickers for Rolex watches the way things are going. I might become a millionaire in just a few months...

I like to leave the tags on my jeans and shirts so other people know I am wearing new cloths and I can return them after a few times wearing.

Most of my pieces got their plastics removed at the AD/boutiqe. Those that didn't got removed ASAP once home. I only buy with the intent to use.
